Alienated Consciousness, Soul, Individual

As has been previously discussed, one influential breeding ground of an Alienated Consciousness has been the doctrine of the Salvation of the Individual Soul.  For, it cultivates the belief that one is separate from the cursed species of which one is a member.  Theological hostility towards 'secularism' per se has reinforced the Alienation.  Another influential breeding ground has been the ideology of Individualism that has dominated Modern Political Philosophy.  For example, the cardinal principle of Individual Right entails that the possibility of interference in one's pursuits by others is a condition of social existence.  Now, the decisive objective factor in the cultivation of an Alienated Consciousness is the suppression of one's membership in a group.  Such a suppression is most effectively accomplished by the presenting of separation as a given fact, e. g. that the Soul pre-exists the Body into which it is incarnated, that the Individual pre-exists any Society into which it enters, etc.  In other words, it is that these are falsified derivative conditions that is the decisive factor in the cultivation of the Alienated Consciousness.
