Knowledge Promotes True Unity
Ignorance Promotes False "Unity"
Less awareness of reality is ignorance & less potential conflict with others, since we have less knowledge that can create a conflict. Blank-page "unity" is easy, it's a "unity" through being lesser aware, blank and empty of truth vs. falsity, right vs. wrong. One blank book is the same as another blank book. Only knowledge differentials create division. When everything is blindly accepted as valid to avoid conflict, false "unity" occurs.
Truth divides from falsity. Truth rejected or falsity accepted between people, creates disunity. More awareness of reality is knowledge, either positive accurate truth or negative inaccurate falsity, and therefore more points of possible conflict. Shared quality accurate knowledge, i.e. truth, is the Path and Way to True Unity. Learning the truth in reality, including how our consciousness functions, psychology, etc. is much more difficult. It requires time, energy, effort, dedication, persistence and determination. Truth takes time and effort.
Inaccurate knowledge, i.e. falsity, can't create true unity, but can create false "unity" on the commonality of mutually accepting falsity. Falsity needs to be removed for a real, authentic, truly whole, solid and integrated unity to occur.
The real and authentic strength, solidity, integrity, quality & groundedness of unity within ourselves psychologically (thoughts, emotions, actions) and of our perceptions with reality, is based on the quality knowledge of truth & morality we take in and discern. The more ignorant of truth & morality we are, the more holes we have in our foundational comprehension, and the weaker and falser our attempts at "unity" are. This leads to being a falser self, compared to a truer self that is united, integrated and strengthened by the truth of reality.
The ignorant masses are living the same relative program of a falser self. We are either being ignorant of important true aspects of reality that matter to positively evolve ourselves and the condition of the world, or we are in acceptance of false negative knowledge of various kinds (falsity accepted as "truth").
Being ignorant makes us more easily united since we have nothing to be divided by, but this is not real True Unity. Accurate knowledge of reality brings Truth. More quality knowledge separates us from the collective ignorance or conformity and attachment to falsity.
Ignorance is conformity to a programmed conditioned way of living in the system. Knowledge allows divergence from the false conformity, filling up your empty pages with accurate truth makes it harder to unite with others who do not and reject the truth, or are attached to falsity.
We struggle with various information, misinfo and disinfo to try to find the truth, getting caught in traps, cul-de-sacs & mind "viruses" along the way, getting attached to "feel-good" self-views & wolrdviews constructing beliefs accepted as "truth".
Negative knowledge makes True Unity impossible. The more info that exists (including disinfo), the more potential falsity is spread, the more difficult it is to gain quality knowledge in the confusion of massive amounts of information to discern, and the more difficult it is to unite on that solid grounded foundation of accurate knowledge (truth), instead of the faulty, flimsy, false "unity" from incorrect or useless knowledge.
Truth inherently divides from falsity. The only way to truly unite is for everything to care for, seek, embrace, accept, integrate and live the truth.
Thank you for reading! I appreciate the knowledge reaching more people. Take care. Peace.

I think this is the power of blockchains, they cut down on the potential for disagreement about the state.
I agree. It prevents restriction of information about the truth in reality, and also isn't an authoritarian mouthpiece of disinfo and misinfo to forcefully warp our perception of reality.
Your post and comment below are exceptional and relevant to a current conflict on Steemit.
I have been trying to help a guy called Skeptic whose rep went from 40ish down to 2. He has a colourful way of talking and he's a hot head but he didn't deserve such a severe rep drop without a few warnings first. Also, much of what he said has been twisted and misrepresented, so that a superficial glance puts him squarely in the wrong. Don't get me wrong, I understand why some people find him annoying but I believe that he has been wronged and it is being largely ignored.
This post keep me on asking myself, do I have the Knowledge to Promotes True Unity or the Ignorance Promotes False "Unity". and as far as I understood your post, I realized that to become aware the reality of Life is to become active and understand the happenings in the community or society where reality do exist.
You've given me some food for thought here, I have one question, what are some small steps anyone could take, to create the unity you speak of?
True Unity is based in morality. Those who reject moral comprehension can never unite with those who accept it. Morality is the dividing line for true unity in life with others. You can only truly unite with fellow moral people at your level of moral living. Otherwise, you are uniting with people who lack your moral way of living, an you will be uniting with immorality.
True Unity or the lack thereof, does not prevent a certain level of cooperation or interchange. True Unity is a greater, higher, truer, and realer level of living in harmony with others though. Ignorance of the wrongs other people do will not create true unity, but only allow the wrongs to continue. This is why True Unity and True Freedom is completely based in morality.
People who want to ignore wrongs done to others, as long as they aren't being wronged, are part of the problem. They don't want to unite in truth, they just want to "get along" and "make friends", not stand in Moral Truth with those being wronged and against those doing the wrongs. Standing in moral truth demands a lot that people don't want to do, due to being in fear, apathy, cowardice of living up to and standing for these higher principles of truth in life. It creates "conflict" and "division", which is a big complaint from "New Agers" and so-called "spiritualists" who just want to happy and live in a false positivity mask.
Sounds like I'm probably on the right track then, thanks <3
So how can you say it's a false positivity mask if those spiritualists have a different level of morality? From their perspective they are in the right. Which also means there is no universal truth...
Sorry but there is only one universal truth, not peoples perception of truth. This is also a reason why people in this line of thinking often find themselves struggling to find unity within. It simply is unobtainable because they are not following the natural law of morality for consciousness. @krnel Nice to see you on here, I just joined; I have enjoyed your youtube videos. Look forward to seeing more articles from you.
Thanks for the feedback and clarification for the other commenter. Take care. Peace.
Don't think that's true.
Define truth and falsity.
What is "natural law of morality for consciousness"
Yeah, and praise Altman! jk, haha! Truth is where its at!
