Karl Marx said economic materialism was the primary motivation of humanity. Sigmund Freud said it was the sexual impulse and the drive for pleasure. Carl Yung said the fear of death was the primary motivator and the principal force behind every religion. Jung also believed in the collective unconscious in which we inherit memories from our ancestors. Behind all this is the quest for transcendence.
Marx said we can find transcendence in a pure Communist society. Freud said we can find it only when we release all sexual inhibitions. George Soros said we will find it under a global government when all nations merge as one.
The fact of the matter is we are all traveling upon the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose border no one returns. Is it the memory of Eden from our collective unconscious that drives us on the utopian path? The road to redemption can't be found on Freud Lane, Marx Drive, Jung Street, or Soros Circle. The route to the Celestial Kingdom is at the end of Calvary Road!
