I didn't suggest I want or even believe a "Utopia" is possible at the hands of man alone? So, I'm not "contradicting" myself, only the words you are now putting into my mouth. I typed of an end to the civilisation mentality. And to then suggest I believe in some "love & light" utopia is total BS.

Doesn't work that way, especially if spiritual awareness of people remains on this primitive level. It sounds like escapism, denial of this world.Clearly your view of what love is, and mine, are very different. Love to me includes, but is not limited to, putting others BEFORE yourself. Clearly escapism and worrying "only about your few colleagues" is contradictory to the idea of loving your neighbours. So clearly, if your definition of love is that of a selfish state of mind, our definitions differ greatly.
