I had a cool dream last night. My fan stopped working, and I think it put my mind in a special state for a couple of hours, but I also normally have unique dreams. I was at a political rally, and a politician was gaining influence by giving away money to people. It felt really conspiratorial on my side of things. I felt I was in the middle of secret meeting and tense times. It was an interesting feeling although I didn't really have much of the plot of the dream left if my memory if one was ever formed.
I only remember one scene where I stood up and declared that the use for religion has come to its end. In this dream I felt like I was a scholar of history trying to make sense of the times we are in. It's almost like I was in a war room, but instead of plotting the moving course of things as it relates to a very narrow scope of time, I was tracking movements that have been going on since the dawn of time. When I stood up and made my declaration, it was not as though I made the announcement from sudden revelation, but instead it was a connection. What I was studying with my team gave me this answer.
It was as though I was looking at religion through history, and I saw how the course of all religious effort in the institution was to make the government more humane and even compassionate. It was to keep the powerful from acting monstrously towards their people. It was meant to care for the weak. In this, religion had no meaning aside from assisting in developing the government. It held no real truth for the individual.
The idea is pretty interesting to me because I never really thought of it before. It's really contrarian to an American sentiment that wants separation from church and state although this is merely meant to be a separation of powers not of influence in original intent. It's also pretty foreign for me to think about this because I really have been occupied with other things on the mind lately. I don't really know what to do with this concept.
I do agree though that religion must end itself soon I think. Institutionally it has one last meaningful movement of contribution it can make it the humanitarian development of the government and then it can truly cease to exist. There really needs to be a religious movement that actually sparks the fire for personal freedom within the people. There is nothing like this that currently exists. Normally movements put on themselves a very stringent law and structure of power in order to succeed. Therefore a movement which goes contrary to that is quite counterintuitive to success.
However what I see is not so opposed to what has taken place formerly. It is only the same as before but with a more refined definition. Law and structure is replaced with principles of truth and discipline that allow the people the tools to form a law for themselves. We all must abide by some set of reasonably created behavior in order to find success in life, and religion has often crafted this law for us in the past. However in recent decades the people have become phenomenally educated. Truly they are educated enough to form their own law based on their own discovered value. I guess I see a final religious movement that really outlines these principles of truth along with our design to allow people to form a law of their own based on this collective journey of self discovery.
It's cool to me. The dream I had made it seem so clear, so I really appreciate it. I don't really see any opportunity for it anywhere though. People are so divided. Even here people are gripped by the strangest of ideology that is so nonsensical so as to glorify the right to take your own life. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't matter, but it makes a lot of people here live in their own bubble of reality completely cut off from the times we live in. The real world almost becomes irrelevant in their ideology, and this is how life works for all the people living in their own bubbles today.
I don't see how anything can bring us together. Is it a period of hardship? Is it an awareness to prosperity? Is it a mixture of both or another element I can't even comprehend the relevance of? I have no idea how any movement can bring the people together in such a way, but I do feel if the people unite once more under such a cause it would in effect be the end of institutional religion entirely. I feel quite sure of it from my dream. I just have no idea how it would happen.

. I think tribes will still exist and people will still be in power, but there will be no more imbalance of truth. The people in power will not hold information or rely on deception to have their power over the group they have influence with.
