ECB or European Cultural Bias

Based on how we socially engage as human beings, and as our various societies become more interdependent, there will always be one or more dominant cultures that greatly influence and permeate all other cultures. Currently in our world based on the history of the past thousand years one culture has influenced the way of life on the entire planet, producing one dominant culture - European Culture.

Therefore, European Cultural Bias (ECB) co-exists in most all societies along with the native culture of that society. This cultural bias carries the implication that everything European is inherently good, right, just, better, beautiful and above all else superior to all other cultures. Many times European cultural bias is at odds with the native culture and causes marked social and political dissonance. This cultural bias currently informs much of modern life on planet earth.

One of the most typical European cultural biases - European culture is the standard for being civilised and advanced / evolved. Of courses you know that ball biases are lies in and of themselves, they are NOT truth.

Races do not exist. There is only one human race.

Though not innate to human beings, there is one recently adopted concept currently permeating our world that bears mentioning. This is the false idea of race as a distinguishing characteristic among human beings as to who human beings are in and of themselves based on a hierarchy of value. The idea that there are many races among human beings is a racist idea- a lie.

The categorization of human beings based on phenotype as a hierarchical distinguishing characteristic of being human based on intrinsic value, projects the false idea of “race”. Phenotype - refers to an individual's observable traits, such as height, eye colour, skin colour, blood type etc. A person's phenotype is determined by both their genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors. Phenotype is no intrinsic determination of value of a human being. This false concept/idea of race was created and adopted in the late 1500’s - 1600’s by Europeans as a distinct and active appendage to European cultural bias (ECB).

What is race in and of itself? In and of itself race is simply the false projected paradigm of a specific hierarchy of value in human beings based on phenotype.

This hierarchy is exact and unbending. It places those with less melanin and a specific aesthetic at the top of the hierarchy as most superior and those with the most melanin and a specific aesthetic at the bottom of the hierarchy as most inferior. The hierarchy is ranked by the names of colours from the colour chart. Referencing, perceiving or engaging any person based on a named colour is actually invoking and engaging from this false paradigm. Therefore, if this idea is adopted (as it is worldwide) or you plug yourself into this false paradigm it ensures that in every circumstance individually and collectively, the false idea of this paradigm indeed the implied “superiority” of the continent of Europe, the European, and European culture endures. The recurring experience is exact, unbending and unchangeable because the experience is ultimately based on a lie. Thus, as an active arm of European Cultural Bias the false idea of race functions brilliantly.

Therefore, in and of itself, every emotional, mental or physical act taken based on this false paradigm is an act of racism. Any credence given to this false paradigm is indeed an act of racism. This false idea of race does not provide bias (because race doesn’t exist) but rather it provides racist judgments based on a false idea. This, now exists in all modern human beings. These racist judgments must be transcended if one is to attain a Universal/Ghedee Perspective, a platform from which choices and actions might be taken that are in harmonious balance with yourself and all life and manifestations around you. Because this idea of “race” (and its false paradigm) is an adopted judgement state and not innate to human beings like family, society, culture and ethnicity it can simply be transcended individually by unplugging oneself from the false idea or paradigm. This of course in no way implies that this act of unplugging from this paradigm will prevent you from experiencing racist acts and the racism of others. Individually it removes your own racist judgements which are obstacles to shifting your perspectives in order to achieve a Universal / Ghedee perspective which brings about harmonious balance. You are then left to negotiate the transcendence of your innate religious, cultural and ethnic biases. Today many ethnic and cultural biases are conflated with or intermingled with racist judgements/racism.

Two most common examples of racist judgments or racism:

Referencing any human being (including yourself) by the name of a colour from the colour chart that corresponds to a phenotype. This is a direct indicator of supposed value. This act directly implies superiority or inferiority. This means referring to yourself or others as “white”, “brown”, “red”, “yellow” or “black” etc is a direct act of racism. You are directly implying intrinsic value, consequently implying superiority or inferiority.

Implying based on phenotype that one group is without colour indicating highest intrinsic value and those with colour indicating descending intrinsic value. This is an cat of racism. Only human beings with albinism are without colour or melanin, and albinism exists in all cultures and ethnicities.

Religious bias is a major obstacle to attaining and maintaining a Universal / Ghedee perspective in each present moment.

What is religious bias in and of itself?

In and of itself, religious bias is the collection of specific beliefs, judgments, and ideas around one's god being the “one true god” and one’s religion is the “one true religion.” This is always in relation or comparison to others, whether they are affiliated with a religion or venerate no god. Religious bias permeates all cultures and societies.

It is important to define and discuss the two major components (building blocks) of religious bias—god and religion. In the course of our evolution as human beings, our brains have evolved to have the ability to create alternatives to the current objective reality. Though we are actually bound to the current objective reality, we continually project away from the current moment. We project away towards that which does not exist in the current moment. Thus, we human beings as a whole are mostly never present to or are actually engaging the current moment. We are continuously projecting and engaging that which is not a part of the current moment or that which does not exist now. Perpetually faced with the objective reality of our possible ending at any given moment, we have projected many means by which we can never end. This begins our all consuming need to not end or live forever, even beyond death. One prominent way we project a means of never ending is creating a being capable of this impossibility. Since we humans are incapable of ensuring everlasting life for ourselves, we created “gods” and projected onto these “gods” the power to ensure that we never end.

In general “god” is a being or force outside of us that possesses ultimate power, responsibility, and can give security. These “gods” all seem to have human qualities - because they were all created by human beings. We human beings have created more than 5000 gods. Presently, no other animal on this planet has created a “god” nor requires one. Though none of the more than 5000 gods have revealed themselves or actually manifested to all human beings, we human beings still hold them as ultimate truth through a projection of what we call belief or faith.

An objective truth is something that is true for everyone, whether they agree with it or not. Every modern human being for the past 250,000 years has been in direct experience of the sun rising and setting every single day. They have also been in direct experience of air, an invisible gas we breathe. Even though we cannot see this gas, we are in direct experience of its effects in our environment. We know these things. We don’t need faith or a belief in that which we directly experience. We (all human beings) are not in direct experience of our 5000+ gods we created, this is why we have to project a belief or project faith in any one of our 5000+ gods. Therefore, god, or the idea of a god, is a projected mental concept.

What is god in and of itself? In and of itself, “god” is the projected mental concept that ultimate power, responsibility and security lie outside of self and in “something or someone else”, usually a fantastical mythical entity. We relate to these gods as having absolute power. They are responsible for everything, including our life. These gods are also responsible for our security and safety. The objective truth is: everything is made of the same thing, energy in the form of vibration. Therefore nothing can be more powerful than anything else. The essence of the power that is held in anything is manifested in the force that thing displays but not its actual power. There are uncountable forces in the Universe that are stronger or greater than your force, but none more powerful than you because you are both made up of the same thing. Power is always held or contained within and can never be gained, attained or achieved. We human beings project our power towards something or someone else in order to give the illusion that power lies elsewhere. The objective truth is that ultimate power lies within us and not in anything or anyone else. Therefore the idea or concept that there exists a power “greater” than you is false and can only exist as a mental concept. The objective truth is: Every living thing is intrinsically responsible for maintaining and sustaining itself. Therefore nothing and no one can ever be responsible for the experience of another. Thus ultimate personal responsibility always lies within us and not in someone or something else. Therefore the idea that something or “someone” can be responsible for that which is innate to you can only exist as an idea—a mental concept. The objective truth is: Security or safety exist nowhere in objective reality. Therefore the idea that something or “someone” can provide the impossible is a lie and this can only exist as an idea—a mental concept.

Therefore, “god” can only ever exist as a mental concept and can never ever be manifest. What are its building blocks, this mental concept we call “god”? Its building blocks are projected ultimate power, projected responsibility, and projected security, along with a slew of projected human characteristics. The beliefs, judgments, practices, rituals and myths in reference to the veneration of a specific god or deity is religion. Therefore, in and of itself, religion is the specific process or processes by which human beings project ultimate power, responsibility, and security towards a created deity/god or entity in an ultimate effort to “not end.” “Not ending” being the ultimate security.

Religious bias permeates all societies and cultures because the projection of power, responsibility, and security is a common foundation in the formation of all current societies and cultures. It greatly informs our ideas of “right” and “wrong,” our ideas of morality and our individual and collective self-definition (who we are being and where we believe we are going) as human beings. We must first recognize, and accept the fact that these are biases, and these biases prevent our individual and collective true evolution.Then we must transcend our religious biases in order to attain and maintain a Universal/Ghedee perspective in all things. Even when we claim to not be “religious” or “practice” a specific religion or indeed any religion, the culture we were born into and live in is imbued with religious ideas and ideologies. Therefore, how we view daily life is riddled with religious biases that we practise without being fully conscious of them.
