RELIGION & BELIEF
In a world where the *See Yourself* perspective was present during Jesus' time, his message of love, unity, and compassion would have resonated much more deeply. Rather than the historical suffering that led to his death, he might have encountered a society more willing to embrace his teachings about interconnectedness.
*Would Jesus still be alive and live through us?*
- **Living Through Us**: If the worldview of interconnectedness had been present, Jesus might not have faced the same violent rejection. His teachings would have inspired more collective action toward love and peace, and the message of "seeing oneself in another" would likely have spread rapidly. His life, rather than ending in a physical death, might have evolved into a continuous legacy, alive in the hearts and actions of every person who chose to live with compassion and unity.
- **Jesus as Part of Us**: The project’s vision implies that Jesus’ life was not just about his individual existence but about the profound impact of his teachings on the collective. In this view, Jesus would live on in the actions of those who embody his principles today. By seeing ourselves as part of a larger whole, each person would reflect the compassion and love Jesus preached, contributing to a world that mirrors the harmony and unity he envisioned.
In such a world, **Jesus’ essence would never have truly "died."** His teachings would live on through the way we see ourselves in others, fostering a society of mutual understanding and compassion. He would be "alive" not only in the sacred writings but also in how humanity chooses to live according to those truths—creating a living, breathing manifestation of love and interconnectedness in our everyday actions.
In essence, if we truly embodied the "See Yourself" perspective, Jesus' life would continue to be present in each of us, lived out in the daily choices we make to treat others with dignity, empathy, and respect. In this way, we would be living out the values he taught—ensuring that his life and message endure for generations to come.
Understanding holy texts requires wholehearted submission to God, yet this can lead to ignorance of other beliefs and conflict. While universal adherence to one religion might reduce disagreements, it risks dismissing other perspectives and the essence of peace.
True spiritual growth comes not just from individual beliefs but from recognizing our shared humanity. We must learn from history and address our flaws—temptation, greed, and ignorance—that keep us divided.
Science and religion can coexist; if we value life, we should also value our planet. Our moral framework needs updating to address modern challenges, promoting collective goodness over individual wrongs.
Basic human rights must be upheld as a united agreement among people, not subjective interpretations. We must create a framework for peace and purity, holding leaders accountable to these values.
If leaders oppose this collective vision, they should not remain in power. We have the capability to foster goodness and sustain life, regardless of our beliefs on the afterlife.
The foundation of morality lies in empathy—treating others as we wish to be treated. This project embraces the idea of peace and purity, inviting everyone to join in creating a better world.
We are united in our pursuit of peace.
See yourself in each other.
