Your mind is your life....but you are not your mind...think of your mind as a transponder..or a modem..that hooks up to the 'Big Internet', or the collective consciousness. Think of mankind as one living organism, of which we are each cells of that body. Think of all politics as a cancer of the cells, dividing and growing as a radical tumor. Think of 'religion' as not exercising the cells, and replacing the input of the collective consciousness with the anemia of thinking the cell 'isn't good enough'.....Think of people that argue over politics and religion, and foment divisions among the body of mankind, as toxins in the body, feeding the cancer.....

Snap now, and avoid the rush!

I don't know what he (or she, as the case may be) thinks all of that means, but when you examine it, it amounts only to a bunch of speculative metaphors, which can't result in a rational conclusion even if the metaphors are well taken.
