We are born
into an
unknown
world.
Slowly
we learn
as we go.
Taught by
those who
came before.
Who in turn
we're taught
by those who
came before.
Generation after
generation
passing
knowledge
forward.
Knowledge
differed
region
by region.
Belief systems
differed
region by
region.
The common
link
in all this?
The
knowledge
passed
had its
roots
in beliefs of
ancient people,
people who
we're
gripped
by fear.
Fear of
the world they
were born into.
Fear of the
unknown
Fear of death.
Today we still
fear the
unknown.
We still fear
death.
Until we
conquer
our fears,
we can not
move forward.
If we can not
move forward,
we'll be
devoured
by our
future.

Questioning the belief systems passed down to us would be a very productive start, I agree. Thought-provoking good write, JG!
Hi Louis,
Thank you for your comment.
Just read several of your works.
Seems like you're another who sees beyond
the vail. 👍🏼
Such is the blessing and the curse, isn't it.
Hi Louis,
I see it as neither. I see it as simply not accepting
all that appears real, opening infite paths of inquiry.
Let’s push that vail aside and march right on through.

Our fears of what is ahead will become the experiences of our past. Good write.
Thank you GF.
In the sense of 'true knowledge' I read recently 'In Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge'. So to discover them we can pray, commune with God (talk to Him), find what we need. Is how I see it.
Hi orchidee,
We mere mortals have no idea what’s really going on. Speculation runs amok.
Our beliefs can offer comfort, help us through.
Great write and so true
Thank Tony...
