  "account": "In the words of the renowned poet Rumi, \"Beyond unbelief and Islam, there is a desert plain; in the midst of that expanse, we have a passion/longing. When the knowing mystic arrives there, he lays down his head in prostration, for there is no unbelief, no Islam, and nowhere in that place.\" This quote from Rumi, originally in Persian, speaks to a state of consciousness transcending rigid moral judgments and human divisions.\n\nRumi, a revered figure in the pantheon of wisdom teachers that includes the Buddha, Plato, and Shakespeare, offers more than consolation for our neurotic anxieties. His ecstatic love is not a form of mystical eroticism, but an expression of a higher, shared essence.\n\nRumi envisions a future where humans are free of prejudices, biases, differences, and discrimination. This new human will not seek divinity, as they will carry divinity within themselves. This ideal world is not an idyllic El Dorado or metaphysical Shangri-La, but a reality where a new consciousness emerges, leading to a new human and a new civilization.\n\nIn a world currently marked by unprecedented turmoil and strife, Rumi's vision offers a beacon of hope for a new morality of love and equality. His words remind us that suffering and hardship are catalysts for inner transformation, stripping away superficial attachments and illusions to reveal a deeper spiritual truth. Thus, Rumi's new human represents the future of mankind, a world where humans are free from prejudice and create a new morality of love and equality.",
