Global Doubt: Limitations of the Mind

The search for knowledge and the seeking of spirituality within the sentient human structure as presently understood are constant challenges of the reality we identify as the physical experience . The universal search for knowledge is a necessary part of our mandate to exist, for above all, humanity is instructed to learn, collect knowledge and express creativity.

Should it be suggested that if allowed to exist without war, strife, power and greed, humanity could easily display a surplus of genius, an unlimited population of advanced thinkers as the status quo, and a living standard that would be advanced light years ahead of where we are today?

Why is there so much hesitation, even determined reluctance to use the other 90 percent? Logic and wisdom are denied, quizzically and happily side-stepped, foolishness is adapted recklessly and even willingly, and dedication to improvement is only half-heartedly or sporadically applied if at all. Shall that now be the accepted status quo? Is the search for logic, knowledge and common
