The nature of all religion is to realize man's divine potential within himself.

But somewhere along the way, we've convinced ourselves of our individuality.  We have convinced ourselves that we are not special.  That we are not part of a greater whole.  That not only are we locked into these bodies, but all we are ARE these bodies.

We've forgotten our purpose.  It's purpose.

We are simply here to be but as we became bound to these mortal bodies we became distracted by pleasurable physiological reactions in our brain and bodies until some of us desired these distractions so strongly that we thought it acceptable to exploit our own brothers and sisters in order to have more and more and more until the system evolved into what it is now - the Machine. The Man.  The inequities of the greedy and the tyranny of the evil.
