30. Could you explain what you mean? I don't quite understand.
Edited on Sun Mar-08-09 12:26 AM by Occam Bandage
Do you mean like individuals becoming more self-aware and self-actualized? Sure, that's good, but that only happens on an individual level, and that doesn't really do much about human nature and everyone else. Do you mean like societies, as a whole, becoming more attuned to social problems? Well, that's always a very good thing, but the question is why people sometimes don't do that, so "sometimes people do" isn't really that meaningful I think.

If you're talking about auras and higher planes of existence, then I can say with a fair degree of confidence that auras and higher planes of existence are not factors, because those are meaningless fairy tales juvenile people tell themselves.

On edit: In case you actually are talking about auras and higher planes of existence, I'm sorry, that was perhaps not a nice way of putting my opinion on such things.
