Imagine a world that is illiterate. It has only been in the past 200 years that education has been made available to the general public in some civilized areas of the world. Other areas of the world remain illiterate even today.
The invention of reading and writing a little over 4000 years ago brought literacy to small groups of people and was not available to humanity at large. It’s easy to forget this reality. Some of the earliest known writings belong to the ancient Sumerians and the Babylonians. The aristocracy was literate but the common folk were not. This great divide among the literate and illiterate remained for centuries. It still exists today.
There were civilizations or cultures that were highly literate however. These include the ancient Greeks, the Druids, the Irish and of course the Jewish people. In ancient times the literacy rate within these small cultures often reach nearly 100%. It is interesting to note that some of these cultures were also highly persecuted. Apparently it is dangerous to be too educated!
Theatrical plays and initiations into secret societies were often the ony way for the common man or woman to gain a philosophical education while aprenticeships were often the only way to gain a practical education. The educated elite, the rational atheists and social enforcers dominated by virture of their higher education but the common man has gradually reached the point where they are just as educated as the elite. This is causing a major shift in the power structure of modern society because the common man or woman live in their hearts and not their heads.
In fact, organic gnostics stand upon the shoulders of both rational atheists and social enforcers with the growing ability to integrate a higher form of knowledge that has never been available before. One that is based upon duality as the loving embrace of male/female and not duality as the conflict between good and evil. This ability to integrate opposites is beginning to revolutionize the world in a positive way.
