I am to live to see the second coming, or so I was told by a blind patriarch. Years after leaving the church I woke up to the realization that I still had an end of time mentality. As it turns out most people and cultures have a feeling of having reached a pinnacle of knowledge and achievement. If you want evidence for this just look at how seriously some posters are about their view’s of reality; how seriously they take themselves. I seek deliverance from this mentality by holding to the role of the fool, a realization that my thoughts are not reality.
Have you faced an end of time mentality in yourself or a belief that your understanding of existence is on the cutting edge of human thought?
Here is a good TED talk related end of time and pinnacle thinking:
