We live in a collective-identity cult. A cult of Janus. A two-faced deity (ego-self). According to Jungian psychology, individuation is a process of psychological integration. "In general, it is the process by which individual beings are formed and differentiated [from other human beings]; in particular, it is the development of the psychological individual as a being distinct from the general, collective psychology

It is the Ascetic way of life presented by contemporary psychology. This website is about the process of individuation, which has existed for several thousands of years. Buddhism, Jain and Sufi are all methods of individuation. In fact, all scriptures contain the message to abstain from the crowd and any system of living which grades people as above or below on some imaginary scale of worthiness. All scriptures point at those who desire riches and title in the world as already dead, hence the individuation process also being known as rebirth in to true life.
(Crowd Psychology). Let us assume there is a 'child-in-the-attic' frame of mind and one that far exceeds that, which has been kept as an occult character, away from the majority, so that they rely on the state but above all, the crowd (their social environment) to determine who they are.
Negative stigma a lie!
To tackle this human issue at its root, the like/dislike ideas we falsely believe are the correct way to examine, decode and judge our world are not entirely honest. Our proximity to each other as a group is the problem.
By default, we judge and sentence every life-form we are subjected to, as though that was our purpose. Doing this creates the belief that positive and negative ways of seeing people are right and OK but it clearly isn't. If we need to think bad of others we should examine what we have been taught and how we have been taught, and what we have been educated for. Like and dislike. Enemy and friend.
I used to think a book was created to transfer information but I was wrong. If it is true gnosis (knowledge), it transfers a state of being.
Hidden in Plain Sight
The answers were always here, and the advice was always plain and clear, no matter how far back you look. All ancient fingers seem to point at life not being binary, at least concerning consciousness. We are implored to submit to a higher power than the self or ego-self. We are told what goes around comes around, in each and every philosophy, if not plain and clear then in metaphor for the intellectual to work out for themselves.
