Collective Human consciousness

Question from the Internet:

“Can we imagine that in the very distant future, on Earth, we’ll be a collective consciousness, a single “being”, giant energy, as a form of superintelligence?”

We have reached a state where we do not only need to imagine this, but we actually have to implement it. And not in the distant future,m but now.

As we can see from many signs through the collapse of our present human civilization, our inherently blind and instinctive, egocentric, individualistic and exploitative human development has exhausted itself. We started consuming ourselves and the planet like cancer, and our generation is on the brink of very realistic self-destruction.

From nature’s point of view, humanity has always been a single entity, one of the species in Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system. But from our own inherent viewpoint, each and every human being is a separate, standalone and independent being. We all think we can act according to our egocentric and subjective perceptions and calculations; we all dream of individual freedom and individual rights to do whatever we want — regardless of the consequences for others and Nature.

In our days, it has become extremely sharp and mind-boggling how, on the one hand, we know exactly how we destroy each other and the planet, how it leads to disasters for our children and for us, and we still cannot stop like end-stage alcoholics or drug addicts that want the next shot even if they die.

Humanity can survive only if we become how Nature “sees” us: a single, mutually integrated and mutually complementing entity.

This has nothing to do with our arbitrary and misguided ideologies or philosophies — that are all the products of the self-serving and self-justifying human ego. We have to change because Nature’s strict and unforgiving laws and evolution’s relentless direction towards increasing integration demand it.

And if we consciously and willingly start the necessary process of adapting ourselves to Nature — by building Nature-like mutual integration and mutual cooperation between individuals and nations — then we will also understand why we were born opposite to and incompatible with Nature in the first place.

Human beings have a very special role and purpose in Nature’s system. We are supposed to become the whole system’s integrated and, at the same time, independent observers and conscious and equal partners. Achieving this role and purpose is possible only by starting from oppositeness, recognizing our incompatibility with nature and then willingly and consciously adapting ourselves to Nature above and against who we are born as.

While Nature is perfect, it lacks a conscious, overseeing mind, and it is this conscious overseeing and partnering mind that we have to build by developing a collective Human consciousness within Nature.

Without such a collective Human consciousness, our collective survival is also in jeopardy since individually, exclusively competing with each other, we can’t even comp[rehend let alone solve the global problems that threaten our existence. But safeguarding our physical survival is only the means to acquire and develop this collective human consciousness that can elevate our sense of existence to a qualitatively much higher level, even beyond the egocentric and subjective limitations of time and space.
