sperry, the man that discovered the specialization of the left and right brain said the following when giving his nobel prize speech in the 1980's, "our social values are determined by what we believe the nature of consciousness to be.... whether consciousness is bound to the brain and can die, if it is universal, reincarnated or whatever......" his thinking is actually an understatement. the contents of our entire mental map are determined, consciously or unconsciously by how we perceive the nature of consciousness to be. this includes our perceptions of: mission, identity, values, abilities, possibilities, boundaries, responsibilities, morals, behavior and how we relate to our selves', each other and the rest of the universe.

everybody here that has experienced the difference between a strong childhood belief/religion and a spiritual awakening has felt this difference it makes in our mental maps.

this is a prime question that affects personality and behavior. any project that attempts to mold mankind into any attitude, environment, political direction etc. will fail as long as the question of consciousness is not properly addressed.

an example of this is how communism failed when it was forced on to people of differing beliefs. the same idea actually could work well with spiritually awakened and positive polarized people - sharing instead of fighting each other.

the reason there is so much social chaos in the world today is because of the disconnect between religious beliefs and scientific attitudes which all are more or less wrong.

the venus project, even though it is a good idea, cannot work in a 3d world full of duality and diverse understandings of consciousness. its like putting the carriage before the horse. it is a systemic mistake.
