Dear Colleague,

Below is my review of this great movie CREATION (for Amazon), which tells of Charles Darwin's struggle to gain the strength to present his theory of evolution to the world. It's a struggle I'm going through right now--regarding the theory of the sacrificial nature of warfare (how nations seek to kill their own young men).

My analyses for the past several years have challenged our belief in the goodness or benevolence of COUNTRIES or NATIONS. The problem is--as compared with God--countries or nations during the last 100 years have been much more powerful and threatening and destructive than "God."

And have generated FAR MORE DEATH.

Actually, NATIONS are the most terrifying objects in the world--so terrifying that people can barely acknowledge the fact of their terrifying nature.

 Nations are so terrifying and destructive that people pretend to "love" nations--in order to placate them; avoid their wrath. People claim they "love" their nations--in spite of the 200+ deaths they have generated in the 20th century.

"Customer Review. Richard Koenigsberg. 5.0 out of 5 stars. The profound struggle to achieve a revolution in human thought. Reviewed in the United States on Feb. 14, 2021.

When you are developing a theory that describes reality but goes against the most fundamental cultural beliefs of the time, there is bound to be a struggle; an internal struggle as well as an internal struggle. It seems one is blowing up the old world. And it seems the world will hate you for revealing the truth.

The movie is an authentic, moving description of the conflict between telling the truth--reporting one's findings and sharing them with the world--and the fear of destroying a world that once existed (and destroying oneself--the punishment for telling the truth). Darwin's daughter understood his theory, but she died. Was this a punishment by God for knowing the truth?

His wife was ambivalent, but finally came to support publication of THE ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES. This was an important breakthrough for Darwin.

A beautiful and truthful film, depicting the archetypical struggle of a human being seeking to tell the truth...and thereby destroying the world as it once was known.

With regards,

Richard Koenigsberg

PS: Up until recently, I had a tendency to think of people--academics--as cowards--for their failure to acknowledge the truth about the murderous power of the nation-states. They rarely write supporting my idea; nor do they write telling me where I'm wrong: "Fear and trembling and sickness unto death."

I underestimated the terrifying power of nations--acting within the body...generating panic.
