Covid-19 reshaping our future

Many people feel that what we are going through right now — all over the world — is going to change our lives completely. It seems that COVID-19 is not like previous pandemics, but this crisis will completely change our future.

Still, it is important to recognize that it is us who will have to reshape our future, COVID-19 only gave us the awakening!

We are at a very unique, unprecedented turning point in Human history.

Our development so far has been a completely blind, passive, instinctive process, as we obeyed our inherently egocentric, self-serving, self-justifying nature. As a result, we have been stumbling through the inevitably recurring, vicious historic cycles, building each civilization on the ruins of the previous one until we reach a dead end and the civilization collapses with an explosion.

Although we tend to forget now when we can hardly wait to rush back to the life COVID-19 disrupted, our actual civilization was already very near to our own dead end and global meltdown — which could have been triggered from multiple different causes in various locations.

The pandemic and the completely unprecedented pause, freeze — as if pausing a movie before the end — gave us a chance to rethink our lives, the blind, instinctive way we have been developing. We received a chance for a free choice — we never had before — to take our fate into our own hands and start developing above, against our egotistic, selfish instincts, attitude.

I do not know what words to use to describe the situation since we have been overusing, degrading such words as “historic”, “epic”, “revolutionary” this they do not touch us any longer. But the state we are in right now combines all those expressions together!

This is the moment when we can become Human beings from animate humanoids. This is the time when we can finally use our special Human mind capable of critical self-assessment, initiating self-change.

So with the help of the right, purposeful, and practical educational method, we can learn how to build mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections, cooperation above everything the separates, rejects people from each other. Through such conscious integration, we also gain similarity with the natural system we exist in. And through that similarity we will “unlock” the system, understanding all the cause and process, laws and principles, the general developmental plan governing everything.

This way we will know the blueprint, the template we need to follow in order to perfectly reach, fulfill our evolutionary Human purpose while also building a much better, safer, healthier, sustainable, and qualitatively much higher, collective future society.
