A new worldview for the global and integrated world

Question from the Internet:

“Why should I care about humanity when it doesn’t care about me?”

It is a just question. And at the moment close to 8 billion people are thinking the same way.

The problem is that at the same time, we evolved into a globally integrated and fully interdependent world, where we have all become like individual cells in a single, living Human “super-organism”.

And while this is the fact of our lives, we still do not actually, tangibly feel so, we still feel ourselves as standalone, isolated, individual beings that can think, decide and do whatever they want and if they cannot, then they feel this is as a violation of their individual freedom and individual right.

As a result, we all exist and behave like cancer, knowingly or unknowingly surviving and succeeding at each other’s expense while consuming whatever we can — regardless of if we actually need it or not — for our own benefit and pleasure.

And we are sleepwalking towards completely self-destructing both individually and collectively.

So what can we do?!

We can just stubbornly continue as we are, holding onto our presumed individuality and thus reach such states where intolerable suffering will force us to change our viewpoint and our behaviour.

We can also start willingly and consciously researching, understanding, feeling and accepting our evolutionary conditions. Through the right, purposeful and practical educational method we can come viscerally feel our total interdependence until we adapt ourselves to Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system and its laws that govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

We have to come to such a new worldview and tangible sense of existence, where caring about others and the whole of humanity becomes tantamount to caring for ourselves as we will sense ourselves completely integrated and dissolved into the whole system.

Of course, this is not going to unfold with all 8 billion people at once, and it is not something that can be forced on people. It has to be a result of willing, conscious participation where people understand without any doubt that this Nature-like mutual integration and collective existence is for our own good.

So this process will start — it has already started — with a small, critical minority who are sensitive and willing enough to change and develop themselves to reach that Nature-like mutual integration. Then these pioneers will draw others behind them through their positive example while the state of the general human society will inevitably continue to deteriorate.
