"Master, what about 'civilisation', its cause, genesis?"
"Early men lived exactly like the animals, i.e. they behaved
also in harmony with Nature. It was with the advent and the
development of 'Think' that, living together, socio, needed control over the
individual members of the still growing groups.
Food became a-plenty with the use of weapons, fishing techniques,
agriculture. Man, now, needed some handle-bars to hold on to and
that told them what to do. Read in Wyndham 's 'The Midwich Cuckoos': 'It is
because Nature is ruthless, hideous, and cruel
beyond belief that is was necessary to invent civilisation'.
Civilisation was a necessity for survival in large groups, family
conglomerates. Of course it came long after the 'Standardisation'
of sounds for ideas (language), yet, it too was a further step
towards Control of Reality. Many animals live, hunt, feed, and
care for the young, in co-operation. Man's civilisation is a far
greater step upwards, as is fit for the extra degree of freedom,
the freedom in 'Think'."
