Is peace on Earth realistically attainable?

By merely asking: Is peace on Earth realistically attainable, shows that the option does exist in some form of space-time. A possible answer of 'yes' exists just by this mere concept, as well as living in a universe of polarity: we currently live in a time where conflict is in abundance; therefore, its polar reverse of peace must exist.

It is in fact possible, if one searches for the cause of our current reality of abundant conflict. Conflict (in the shape of wars and proxy wars) is created by us as a species, homo sapiens. We are thus the portal through which this negative energy flows. Now we have to understand why we are constantly in conflict with each other: from light domestic disturbances to domestic violence to riots to outright war: individuals, cultural groups and societies are differing from one another on multiple points of ideas, and instead of rationally coming to conclusions, decide on a more violent enforcement of this idea. This reason being our genetic conditioning: our primate DNA (of which 96% is shared with the chimpanzee which is known to form gangs under the control of an alpha-male, attack and kill other groups of chimpanzees for territory, even if their own is abundant with resources). This genetic conditioning - to survive no matter what - used to keep the species going strong in the days of old. But as the human race evolved into a more industrial and nature controlling one; this genetic 'auto-function' became obsolete. In fact, it is this very 'auto-function' of alpha-male survival of the fittest that will eventually not only wipe out the human race, but destroy everything on this planet. It is thus an outdated genetic helper that needs be 'overruled' by using the thing very few of us are aware of: 'conscious consciousness'.

We need to understand as a species, that we are - at this very moment - nothing more than a 'monkey in a suit'; a very clever primate in suspended consciousness animation. We need to 'awaken' to a deeper sense of being; realizing that we are consciousness or 'spirit' entrapped in a primate body. When this happens, we will also realize the truth of being 'One': that is, a seamless part of earth and her bio-organic and non-organic systems, co-existing to shape a super-organism fondly known as 'Gaia'. A deeper look into the whole system of 'Gaia' will reveal al the interconnections, and the danger of not cooperating with this system, but competing with it.

When humans 'awaken' from this auto-functioning, alpha-male
