As a species we are probably the most aggressive, destructive and divisive that have ever walked this earth. We have destroyed countless other species, including human species. We have enslaved - and enslave. We discriminate against anything and anyone who is different from what we consider to be "our norm".
In our daily lives, we inevitably catch ourselves being almost intuitively divisive - whether by competing, envying, resenting, despising, mistrusting or excluding. Even the majority of our relationships are transactional - trading benefits rather than sharing fellowship.
Are we simply incorrigibly driven to achieve dominion - power - over our world? Or is there something else? In this episode, Stephen Barden proposes that it is fear that fragments us from one another. And that fear arises from an illusion that each of us clings to, as tightly as if it were life itself.
