Being Human — together

Question from the Internet:

“What is the meaning of being human together?”

The truth is, we cannot be human “not together”.

When we are separate from each other, when we instinctively survive, succeed at each other’s expense driven by our selfish, individualistic egos, we are remaining on the animal level, living only for our own sake.

“Being Human” — from the Hebrew word “human”/Adam, which originates from the expression “similar” — means consciously becoming “similar” to Nature’s integral system through purposefully, methodically integrating with each other.

The “Human being” is not an individual person, but it is a mutually integrated, mutually responsible and mutually complementing “Human collective”, that acquires a unique, unprecedented collective consciousness, intellect, sensing themselves as a single entity, researching and understanding Nature’s perfect system through the acquired similarity with nature.

This is something that is obligated by Nature’s evolution which has already pushed us into a globally integrated, interdependent world, where for the time being we try stubbornly, in a desperately futile manner survive individually, nationally against each other.

Thus we will have to learn and implement “becoming truly Human” whether we want it or not, if we do not do it consciously, proactively, then increasing blows and intolerable suffering will force us. Thus it is wiser to become Human by our own efforts — using a special, purposeful, and practical empirical science.
