Question from the Internet:

“Are people more aware today than ten years ago?”

I think we are definitely becoming more aware than we were ten years ago.

In truth, there is only one thing we need to be aware of, and that is the root cause of all the problems we are facing. We need to become aware of the reason we are heading towards a seemingly inevitable and imminent self-destruction on all levels.

After all, if we became aware of the single reason for all our historical and contemporary struggles and mistakes, if we knew what was causing the helplessly recurring vicious cycles, we could also find a truly working and effective solution.

I think and feel that as a result of the overwhelming evidence and experience and as a result of the growing desperation and helplessness, this awareness is growing fast.

More and more people started to recognize and humbly accept that the single root cause for all of humanity’s past and present problems is the 100% self-serving, self-justifying, subjective, and individualistic ego that drives all of us.

Moreover, more and more people also started to develop a true and irrepressible need and desire to change and further develop themselves, so we could finally start existing and acting for the sake and benefit of others and the whole system, instead of existing and acting only for our own selfish benefit.

So this new awareness and recognition is the opening towards a better, safer, and sustainable Human future.
