Can we expand our worldview?

Question from the Internet:

“How does a lack of a larger worldview limit a person in a sense of progress?”

By default, we see the world through a 100% egocentric and subjective viewpoint. We notice and use from “total reality” only what is useful for our incessantly selfish “pleasure/pain” calculations and actions.

We heavily filter what we actually “import” from all the available impressions and data and then also distort it to fit our self-serving, self-justifying approach to life.

At the same time, we actually exist in a globally integrated and interdependent human world that is also an integral part of Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system.

Thus with our inherent consciousness and perception, we are like individual cells of a single, integral body that think as if they were independent and could do and want whatever they think and desire.

This destructive paradox between our inherent consciousness and perception and our actual integral state is the root cause of all our past and present problems.

Correcting our worldview and approach to life can solve all our problems and guide us towards a much better and sustainable, collective human existence in Nature.
