We are infinite... as we develop we bring greater and greater presence of self-consciousness into our being... to be conscious of who we are... this is the purpose of life... we have come from animals with a limited degree of self-consciousness into humans with a greater degree of self-consciousness... now we seek to move to the next phase... to come to realise that our egos are not are true self... it is the human condition to identify with our egos... it is the animal condition to identify with our instincts... it is the theosised condition to identify with our soul... although this last statement is only a pointer... for words cannot be used to describe this condition... it is beyond words... both theosised and soul are not adequate... they are at once a limitation of the reality and a pointer to what is beyond even the reality that I am using them to describe... at any rate the next stage of self-consciousness is what we are seeking... for this to happen our egos have to die... they have to die so that our soul is able to see itself... they will be reborn... but when they are the soul will now have some degree of self-consciousness... this process happens all the time... just as our cells are constantly dying and being reborn... our egos die and are reborn (for example during dreamless sleep) but usually we are not even conscious of this... slowly we come to realise that there is something beyond our egos... this is what we are seeking... but when we become conscious of this a fear sets in... we are so identified with our egos that we are afraid if they die we will revert to identifying with our instincts... go back to being animal and not human... as we try to understand this, we project outwards are understanding into the world in an attempt to get a more solid handle on it... thus we project outwards people who are more animalistic than ourselves... the understanding mind... the mind of words... the ego... seeks to classify those who are more animalistic than ourselves or those who are more sick with ego than ourselves as a means of comparison... thus the concept of "race" is born... the "White" ego projects outwards the idea that "Blacks" are more animalistic than "Whites"... the "Black" ego projects outwards that "Whites" are more sick with ego... both are a fallacy... it is the ego colour coding examples of being so that it can feed itself with more ego... it is a sickness... a sickness of the ego... the person who is illiterate may be more developed than the person who is scholarly... their ego may be less developed, but their soul self-consciousness may be more... thus though they have less ego they are in fact less animalistic than the scholar who is unaware that his highest self-conscious state is identified with his ego... this was the case with Muhammad (pbuh)... similarly the opposite may be true... as I said, the colour coding is an attempt to understand in the realm of form the levels of self-consciousness... but the next level cannot be understood in the realm of form... the sooner we stop colour coding self-consciousness the sooner we can free ourselves to reach the next level... it can be done...

Ok, tsukoui, we'll just throw science out the window and go with philosophical speculation.

It's not that the Dutch are scientifically proven to be the tallest people in the world.
Not really. Their ego's have projected onto the rest of humanity that they're short.
Height is merely a social construct, that the Dutch manufactured to boost their own egos.

We need to demonize the Dutch, they are oppressors and have exploited the rest of the worlds resources in height attainment.

All makes sense now. thanks.

Huh?

Welcome back Schnauzer!

I am of short stature, therefore the Dutch are racists.

That about sums up Tsukoui's philosophy.
End of story.
