For most of human history all people on Mother Earth lived the Indigenous Way by the original instruction. The meek had truly inherent the earth. There was a clear understanding that we were all one undivided whole, one love, a holon of God with each holon containing all of the power of God within it. At some point one person or a group of people had a momentary insane thought of fear (which is merely the illusion of being separate from God.) At this moment the entire Authoritarian world view was born. Soon this person or group of people, who had lived in love and harmony, had gone out and subdued one or others under his authority by force.
As each person is subdued and forced under the authority of another, he or she, also is infected by the inanity of fear. And becomes an authoritarian oppressor or a victim, which are two sides of the same coin.

The Authoritarian Way
The Authoritarian System which dominates the world today was developed and refined in Europe. It rest upon the bedrock foundation of fear. Fear is the bed rock upon which the entire modern civilization rest. Upon this bedrock of fear sits the foundation for the entire Authoritarian System and civilization. This foundation is analysis. Analysis is the flawed belief that existence can be understood and approached by focusing separately on individual parts. It is based upon the philosophy that everything in the universe is separate from everything else, including God.
Atop the analysis foundation rest the pillars supporting the Authoritarian System. These pillars are: competition, adversarialism, win/lose, scarcity, aggressiveness, violence, debate, selfishness, greed, extroversion, intrusiveness, know-it-all-ism, over talkativeness, polite phoniness, self-promotion, marketing and lies, and speaking, dressing and acting with phony superior airs. Most people believe what Europeans exported to the rest of the world was technology, comfort, education, science--the trappings of our modern world. This is true but it is all based upon the pillars above. Europe has exported competition, adversarialism, win/lose, scarcity, aggressiveness, violence, debate, selfishness, greed, extroversion, intrusiveness, know-it-all-ism, over talkativeness, polite phoniness, self-promotion, marketing and lies, and speaking, dressing and acting with phony superior airs to the indigenous world where these things were foreign. In addition, now that we are all infected with the European disease we have been brainwashed into believing that these things are human nature.
Many people today see these things as human nature, however, they are not. Proof of this come from tribal people untouched by authority, such as the Native Americans that Las Casas documents when Columbus initally invaded Turtle Island.
And the price for this confront and these pillars is hell.
