We're here to turn the Tree of Knowledge that is the Internet into a Tree of Life! The Internet is forming a bridge to a new, balanced economic system. As this project is a work by and for mankind, representing a synthesis of many different fields of study, there are many gems waiting within to be claimed and polished. Gems in the realm of discrete mathematics/graph theory, linguistics, computer science, epistemology, library science, and even metaphysics.
There is a unique and radical understanding on the topic of the collective unconsciousness that comes from the esoteric traditions, notably, the Kabbalah where they have anticipated its resolution for some time. It's a technical issue within consciousness that appears when man has reached the limits of reason within the whole. It's a penultimate event that presages what could be called [The_Great_Transition] -- the re-union of humankind.
As Aristotlian logic prohibits the values of true and false occupying the same space, an unconscious, energetic polarization emerges to protect the holding parties, of different, mutually exclusive theses -- for the same reason that black must be held separate from white lest a muddy, incomprehensible mess ensue, and note here, that, critically, neither is superior though there will be parties that hold each as "their truth". Observe that the limits of reason were insinuated at the beginning of last century and came to a culmination within philosophy (post-modernism) and physics (superposition and the amorphous clouds of probability). (Religion, of course, has known of it for an indeterminable time.) In any case, and significant to question of developing a tools for conflict resolution, especially within a world which has been confused by how postmodernism has come about by a reaction to abuses of religious "authority", is that: THERE IS (MAY NOT BE) A RATIONAL SOLUTION. Like Einstein said, a problem can not be solved at the same level at which it was created. In this case the problem is reason itself and treating it like the master, rather than the servant. When such occurs each side will, predictably, see the other as "wrong" or even "evil"--that is just a necessary consequence of the real need to maintain separation within the semi-shared machine called [Reason] or the collective consciousness.
Whether it's mind vs. body, black vs. white the only [Synthesis] that one can take in this case, and one that I believe society eventually must take, is one which is a-rational: namely, simply believing in each other for no reason at all. The Hebrews would call it, I think, the completion of the "Tree of Life" which ends the dualism between "good" and "evil", resolves the conflict between Christian and Muslim. It's interesting that they predicted its coming and knew of it at all (i.e. that there is a logical endpoint to knowledge and that until such endpoint is reached, dualisms reigns). It ends 5 millenia of humanity's evolution; that is, 5000 years of struggle of both will and logic only to find that the whole story (as Bertrand Russell learned) is "unsolvable" (which in this context means rationally) -- at such point, the issue becomes one of aesthetics, love, and faith.

It should be noted that several errors had occurred within the Christian texts. This is apropos to the issue of the completion of knowledge. The one known as the Christed one is only the Alpha not the Omega as was stated in the New Testament. The Jews await for the Messiah which will complete the Journey of Knowledge and unite Adam and Eve to create the [[Tree of Life]].
