De Earthlings: " There is a formula to civilization. Wherever people are, they say, "This is THE society. All others are indifferent toward us." One notices bounded horizons. The horizon of the group, the tiny little clan, the larger village, the still larger tribe, the nation. Each with its boundary, its horizon. And the inevitable tendency is to try to bring the sentiments of love and affection and benevolence into play on the "in group," and project upon the "out group" all the attitudes of aggression. This has been the formula throughout the history of man. There have always been in groups and out groups. And all of the rites (symbols, traditions, culture, etc.) have been devoted to the task of representing ours as the good society and the others as the bad. This holds true for other beings as well. When will civilization evolve, (which always begins with the individual) into the recognition of absolute existence, of no more separation based on form or boundaries, of a universal All? Hence, our upcoming film: UNITY.
