Oh, now I see why I was confused.If you processed the rest of my reply, you would see that I said -
I'm not sure if it is possible for us to know the exact mechanics of what I call the "collective enlightenment". And then I explained why.
It is not possible for us to know yet because of the depths of our immorality, both individually and collectively. It should be clearer to successive generations if we become more morally evolved as time goes on. But, if you must know...
Collective Morality and Anarchism.
This is what you said that I was reading: In my theory, we can transcend mortality collectively.
I thought you were saying that we could transcend our mortality, not our immorality, and I could not see how that was possible.
I fully agree that we can collectively transcend our immorality. It is not possible for us to know yet because of the depths of our immorality, but it should be clearer to successive generations because we will become more morally evolved as time goes on.
This is exactly what the Baha'is believe, since it was the vision of Baha'u'llah that in the future there will be a New Race of Men who are morally superior.
“With the establishment of the Most Great Peace and the spiritualization of the peoples of the world, man will become a noble being adorned with divine virtues and perfections. This is one of the fruits of the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, promised by Him. The nobility of man and his spiritual development will lead him in the future to such a position that no individual could enjoy eating his food or resting at home while knowing that there was one person somewhere in the world without food or shelter. It is Bahá’u’lláh’s mission to create such a new race of men.” (Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh v 3, p. 126)
