COVID-19 rewrites Human history

It is still difficult to find the present pandemic’s place in Human history. It is a truly global event that is creating great changes.

But as many people point out, there have already been global pandemics before, also the 2008 financial crisis had global implications.

On the other hand, the Coronavirus will be recorded as the first, truly global, historic moment, as it will initiate an unprecedented, revolutionary change in Human evolution.

Neither previous pandemics, nor the 2008 crisis caused a significant shift, change in our Human system. As we blindly followed our inherently egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative nature, program before, we used the same program in the same blind, instinctive way after.

Despite already serving as a true alarm, warning, we ignored the signs from the 2008 crisis and instead of making true changes, we covered them with different manipulations, with stimulus and bailout packages, basically “kicking the can down the road”, refusing to look into the mirror.

But the Coronavirus pandemic — while being much less devastating than previous pandemics and wars in terms of loss of life — initiated a much greater, deeper transformation.

Today an ever-growing number of people understand that we can’t return to the lifestyle, the socio-economic system we used before, and even if wanted we will not be able to. The present crisis — we still do not fully comprehend — will wipe out all the excessive surplus, non-essential production, and consumption we do not need for a normal, healthy, modern Human life based on natural necessities and available resources.

And it is not only the production/consumption balance that needs to change but the way how we connect, relate to each other.

The greatest lesson of the pandemic is that if we continue reaction to global problems in individualistic, nationalistic ways, trying to succeed, survive at each other’s expense — which was the “normal” way of life so far — we will surely self-destruct.

Thus for the first time in our history, we won’t change, build a new civilization as a new political ideology, new philosophy, religious dogma pulls us forward. We will change and rebuild as Nature’s laws of integration dictate so.

This the new phase of Human development — which the historic Coronavirus pandemic initiates — will be based on Nature’s blueprint of integration, a new society built first of all on mutually responsible and mutually complementing global connections — above and despite our vast diversity, the difference of opinions and against the instinctive urge to reject, hate, overcome one another.

And since these changes are unprecedented and are against our instinctive program, we need a unique, purposeful and practical educational method that can facilitate these changes without coercion, without misleading propaganda brainwash, through positive motivation, inviting people through their own free choice, conscious understanding.
