Is it so much easier to hate

[cilla4progress]

than to love?

To fear, than to embrace?

To rush to anger, than to joy?

1. I'm 72 years old and it has finally occurred to me that hate and violence are

features, not bugs among/amongst humans. That leaves love, joy and the willingness to embrace as the bugs. We've got to get busy and infect all these haters with these
"bugs"!

2. In my experience, Mind is influenced by the brain and soul. Mind can see, hear, feel outside the

brain, as out of body verified experiences show. Mind can affect the physical, for good or bad, as experiments have shown. Mind, with its memories of a lifetime, can survive death, also researched.

BUT, while we mostly start out with similar brain capability, the soul occupants are by no means equal, depending upon soul nourishment throughout generations of experience... and Western civilization and religion doesn't do much to develop soul values, unfortunately, stressing materialism, nationalism, ego, competitiveness, violence, superficiality.

You are right. The values of the physical world overwhelm soul values. The soul has to struggle to be felt. We could teach the metaphysics that have been researched, but we don't. We'd be better off if we did. Metaphysics is as real as physics and is provable. Faith isn't.
