Time to diminish the emphasis on 'other' and 'mine'.
If you truly desire the second coming of Christ, then Christ must be in heart of everyone.
It's not about some miraculous arrival in the clouds and the choosing one group of people over everyone else for places in heaven.
That is spiritual tribalism which the first testament showed didn't work for the Hebrews.
Christ appeared on the Earth to save everyone, and the Hebrews were blind.
Somehow, being the 'special people' doesn't work out spiritually.
We, inclusive of all, is a more effective than us, narrowed to the tribe.
That is why Saul was chosen by Christ to cover the weaknesses of Peter.
Many of the human weaknesses of the first testament have continued to manifest in the telling of the second testament.
Many have waited for an intervention to begin the third testament, when we satisfy all the instances of us and change how we rule ourselves.
The evolution of a family into a tribe fosters a border between small number of we inside a tribe and an unnumberable us beyond the tribe.
In my writing of 'Midway' which begins before this chapter is completed, the success of humanity continues into a future yet to be realized by a vision of ourselves, there is much to discover.
Old fantasies of us fade while meeting unfathomed challenges only dimly sketched previously.
Requiring more reliable connections to achieve the successes awaiting all of us.
In that future, differences among each human being taps the advantages of diversity.
Less tolerance for arrogance, incompetence and selfish focus on one's best interests.
Rule by self-serving elite had led to disasters that the majority of humanity had suffered.
Other is replaced by the totality of humanity and the many differences separating one group of humanity from another group of humanity.
The different intellectual capacity between humans causes problems no one fully recognized, a strategy to develop harmony that works for each human being was overlooked.
What criminal behavior can be tolerated and what behavior cannot be tolerated?
How much disadvantage between humans is useful and when is a degree of disadvantage socially destructive?
The premise in my 'Midway' piece is that good answers to the above questions were found and marvels were constructed by all hands of humanity.
Creating our first Dyson sphere was one of them.
