Man or Human Self-Test
Many have been asking, okay, well…. I can accept based on my observation and experience that there are at least two different kinds of humanoid beings here on Earth, but which one am I?
Mankind comes from the Ancient Builder Race. As the name suggests, they built the Earth and it is their nature to build and nurture. To the extent that they destroy things, they destroy to make space, to remodel, to improve, to build something new. It is never destruction for the sake of destruction.
Humans destroy simply because they enjoy the release of energy and sense of power it gives them. There is no particular rhyme or reason, and no specific intention to do anything beyond destroying something.
Mankind enjoys "the journey" of life and the whole process of "getting there" with various activities, because they understand the necessary steps and the "un-foldment" of creative processes. Thus, each step in a long process is fulfilling, quite apart from the ultimate result. This gives them the patience to nurture others and the world around them.
Mankind are good gardeners, for example, because they enjoy the process of preparing the ground, selecting the seeds, planting, weeding, watering and whatever else needs to be done to bring forth the harvest.
Humans are "instant gratification" junkies. They want the harvest results, but have no patience and take no satisfaction in all the steps it takes to get the harvest. It's all wham, bam, thank you, Ma'am. They don't know how to nurture themselves, much less anyone or anything else, with the result that they always feel needy and cheated and are prone to blame others for this —-not knowing how to give what they need to themselves.
Mankind takes delight in the Natural World and is easily thrilled by the thunder of the surf, soothed by the sound of falling rain, entranced by the smell of a pine forest, touched by the beauty of a single flower. They are aware of the beauty of all the colors and textures of the Earth and Heavens — able to drink in and appreciate the blooming tapestry of the forest floor in spring time and the palette of the sky. Even without any intention to do so, they notice everything about the Natural World — dandelions growing in the cracks of a sidewalk, the sound of a dog barking.
Humans are relatively insensitive to any of this and are more attuned to geometric relationships –lines and shapes instead of textures— and tones rather than colors. They have an ability to close themselves off from the Natural World and live in relatively colorless stone and cement and metal environments.
Mankind feels a distinct loss when cut off from the Natural World and will often bring the Natural World with them in the form of aquariums and table top gardens, window boxes, potted plants, etc. Humans use fake potted plants as "harmonious design elements" — again emphasizing their sensitivity to visual patterns and form, but not any deep connectivity to life and the nurturing of life.
Mankind is poetic and their use of language is poetic. They are sensitive to rhyme and meter, sound and balance of language, quality of sound, and frequency of sound. Humans notice different things about sound and language – they see language as a means to achieve ends and exert power, but don't show any natural poetic proclivity or appreciation.
Mankind is naturally unassuming and straight-forward, seeing no need or value in falsehoods, ego, or deceit. Mankind is self-accepting. Their viewpoint is turned outward most of the time, with their inward-turning devoted to self-discovery and spiritual contemplation.
Humans by contrast are obsessed with lies, deceits, secrets, and issues of power and pride. Most humans do not accept their nature, which leads them to feel alienated from themselves as well as the rest of Nature. Their viewpoint is turned inward most of the time, to serve their sense of isolation and separateness. Their inward-turning moments are not for the purposes of self-discovery or for any deep spiritual contemplation, but rather to calculate the odds of outcomes and the best means to achieve their ends.
