An Eastern view of the world, although it doesn't confront wrong, does provide a good answer for the unity and harmony we see all around us. It says, "yes, we all are really one ---you, me, the sky, the sea, the flea and the redwood tree."
Just as the water of the ocean is the same stuff as an individual drop separated from it, God is, according to this world view, the whole of reality. His "stuff" is essentially the same as your "stuff.".... Your problem, according to the East, is that you think you are somehow distinct from the rest of creation. The way to solve that problem in Eastern thought is to lose your sense of individuality. ... Salvation consists in regaining that profound unity by understanding --- by the conquest of illusion. .... You lose yourself in the whole. That, to the East is salvation. To be saved is to be individually lost! This is "Nirvana" --- not the rock group, but Eastern heaven. Nothingness.

"Venus and Uranus not only rotate in the opposite direction from all the other planets in our solar system, but about one-third of the moons in our planetary system go 'backwards.' Quirks like this drive scientists crazy.... it's hard to think of some 'accident' big enough to wholly reverse a moon's orbit without shattering it, let alone the spin direction of a whole planet.
"It is a strange thing, but selfishness has never been admired. No creed or religion in history has thought well of the man who betrayed those who loved and helped him the most, or became a coward to save his own neck. Even dedicated Marxists have annual twinges of conscience. This rule God gave us -- the rule of fairness -- is known by all races, regardless of language, religion or training. Both 'civilized' and 'savage' know this inwritten law of happiness. As long as a person can function as a moral being, it will throw light on their conduct."
