The Impact of Class and Religion on Human Thought

The Illusion of Collective Mind and the Impact of Class on Human Thought

The concept of a "collective mind" is fundamentally flawed because the mind naturally resists conformity and unity. The mind values solitude and individuality. There is no singular mind guiding society; rather, true freedom of thought respects all directions and perspectives. The idea of a collective mind emerged from the class system, where one class dominates another, establishing intellectual leaders to be revered and even worshiped. This so-called collective mind opposes natural human instincts. The mind is known for its freedom, and without mental liberty, individuals would lack personal minds, unique ideas, and their own perspectives. No one should worship another mind.

These “spiritual leaders” or religious figures across all religions are often creations of ruling authorities. Such rulers introduced religious leaders to control populations and reinforce the class system. Their ideas are largely corrupt, and the class system is inspired by the animal kingdom, reflecting the rulers’ materialistic, dark nature and inclination to mimic animals. They degrade human worth, likening humans to animals by promoting bestiality and revering animals in their symbolism. All of this is intended to diminish human value, for they do not believe in the individual. Enlightened thought, however, seeks to dismantle corrupt systems, standing for freedom and justice, offering a path to liberation for everyone.

The Exploitation of Religion to Justify Rule and Enhance Class Distinctions

Throughout history, rulers have used religion to justify their reign. For example, the Abbasid state used sermons as a means to validate and legitimize authority, with rulers often perceiving themselves as God or as His representatives on Earth. We see this today as each ruler expects to be prayed for, and any dissent is painted as opposition to divine will. These rulers promoted the class system, widening the gap between classes to control the masses, who are led to believe that the social system is divinely inspired and that the ruler is God’s chosen representative. Yet, God would never endorse one person enslaving another. The public, misled into believing this represents true religion, see obedience to the ruler as obedience to God. Authority figures and religious leaders promoting the class system argue that justice does not equal equality, a notion intended to elevate the ruler and suppress the poor. True justice seeks equality, as equality represents balance and moderation. There is no connection between divine law and the poverty endured by the poor. Religious figures claiming that God will compensate the poor in the afterlife merely use this rhetoric to justify ruling powers, to solidify class distinctions, and to ensure that the poor remain poor. They impose the shackles of servitude under the guise of love and respect for divine law, upon people who are nothing more than pawns in their hands.

Humanity’s Role in Building a Civilization of Peace, Justice, and Knowledge of God

The human being, whom God appointed as His representative on Earth, was meant to establish a civilization of humanity on this land, the divine kingdom on Earth, characterized by peace, equality, and justice. In this civilization, there will be no disparity, no class hierarchy, and no justification for evil. Class divisions stem from differences, differences lead to conflict, and conflict brings about evil and inequality. This is not the path to peace.
