The fallacious concepts of division.
❓ QUESTION:
Dear lee, I have recently encountered a caste-based classification system involving Workers, Merchants, Warriors, and Mages. It is an elegant framework that seems to explain a great deal.
However, is this not just another ideology of separation? It suggests there are insiders and outsiders and that we are fundamentally unable to understand one another... Yet, we can learn to distinguish our own from others and maintain a necessary distance. Is this viewpoint correct?
❗️ LEE'S ANSWER:
Indeed, you have been presented with an aesthetically pleasing theory of separation intended to rationalize divisiveness. Falsehoods often align neatly with one's lived experience, though they always carry a foul stench.
The truth is more complex because it transcends personal experience; one must first desire to be something Greater before the truth can truly resonate. In contrast, truth always carries a "pleasant fragrance"—it is experienced as an inner resonance, a sense of goosebumps, and a warmth within the Heart.
