Desperately helpless and infinitely happy

Locked into ourselves

By default we are locked into an inherently egocentric, subjective consciousness, perception.

We look at reality, react to anything that happens to us, find solutions through completely self-oriented, self-serving, self-justifying, introverted filters.

As a result we view, experience the world, our life in a very limited and distorted manner.

We can’t really feel, emphatize with, connect to others as we can’t feel, appreciate them. We see our own version of everybody even our loved ones, inevitable judging, classifying them through our egocentric, subjective filters.

And since our inherent program wants to place the egotistic self above everything and everyone, most of the time we criticize others, judge them negatively.

On the brink of self-destruction

Even today when Nature’s evolution is forcing us into a fully integrated, totally independent global system, we try reacting to, solve everything in the usual selfish, egotistic, subjective and individualistic manner — making everything only worse, pushing ourselves even deeper into crisis towards self-destruction.

In fact we have reached a state where — unless we can find a way of seeing reality in completely selfless, objective manner, learning how to make calculations for the sake of others, for the sake of the whole collective instead of the instinctively selfish, egotistic, exploitative calculations — we will not be able to solve our mounting global problems and we will not survive in Nature’s lawful, deterministic, global and integral system!

But how could we acquire qualities, abilities, inclinations we simply don’t have in us by birth?!

If we were created by Nature’s evolution with a 100% egoistic, individualistic, subjective consciousness, perception, how could we become selfless, unconditionally, mutually interconnecting and objective?!

Where could we obtain such supernatural — above inherent nature — qualities, abilities from?!

Borrowing qualities from Nature

We can learn, “borrow” such qualities, abilities from Nature’s perfect system.

We exist in a vast, perfectly harmonious, fully integrated Natural system, where strict, unchanging laws sustain, safeguard the balance and homeostasis life and optional development depends on. Human beings exist in this system like independent black holes, or areas without the right “reception”, where as if Nature’s perfect frequency, laws of integration didn’t exist.

In this “Human vacuum” — seemingly outside of Nature’s system — we have been building our increasingly unnatural Human civilizations as our egotistic nature developed until we reached today’s state — total incompatibility with Nature.

And due to this incompatibility we find ourselves at the threshold of self-destruction.

This is why we need a very unique, purposeful and practical scientific method, that can teach us how to complement our inherently selfish, egotistic, individualistic qualities with Nature’s selfless, altruistic qualities.

Work in the “Human laboratory”

Since all these qualities relate to the approach, attitude, relationship we have towards others and the world in general, the above mentioned science requires a special “laboratory” where we can practice, develop our new, “Nature-like” abilities: a unique Human environment which focuses on, deals with Human interconnections.

If we could develop the “Nature-like”, truly selfless, altruistic, unconditionally serving, living connections with other people we can practically work with, through the similarity we acquire there we can automatically achieve the right connection, integration with Nature as well — both individually and collectively.

There is only one thing that stands in our way: our all-powerful, all-controlling, relentless Human ego that completely blocks out Nature’s frequency in our Human vacuum like the most potent firewall blocking reception, communication.

Thus in the above mentioned unique “Human laboratory” we would need to reach an impossible state for the ego, when we reach a certain “no man’s land” where the ego can’t operate, can’t block out Nature’s perfect, selfless, altruistic frequencies any longer.

For the unprecedented transition — a seemingly impossible state of desperate helplessness and infinite joy at the same time — we have to gradually make reaching the “Nature-like”, selfless, altruistic, unconditionally serving qualities the most important thing in our lives to such an extent, that without them life seems worthless.

In fact that growing, deepening, unsolvable crisis that threatens all of us with extinction beings this notion very close, making it sharply realistic. Without becoming similar to Nature, integrating into its system we will NOT survive!

Bringing the egotistic self to a standstill

Still, the ego is extremely shrewd, resourceful and powerful. Thus it won’t just simply roll over and allow the person to start acting in the exactly opposite way we act by default — through the ego.

This is why we need the special methodology in the “Human laboratory” in order to bring ourselves, our original egotistic self to such a breaking point, where through an utter, desperate helplessness the ego has no other option but to yield, and allow Nature’s system, its life-giving, evolutionary force to take over control.

Through unique, mutual exercises, collective study, activities — among a small group of people who aim at the same goal, fully committing to this goal — these people can constantly increase the importance of reaching the desired, “Nature-like” qualities.

Through their mutually responsible, mutually complementing attempts they can reach a realistic, tangible state where the only thing they want to achieve is to help the others to achieve the desired ability to connect, integrate and achieve mutual connection with Nature with everything they have, anything they can do and add.

And then they realize that they have absolutely nothing to give or add! They are full of abilities, energy, capability to serve the usual egotistic desires, aspirations, but when it comes to try selflessly, altruistically, unconditionally serve others, wanting to care for, help others more than themselves, suddenly the air is sucked out, circulation, limbs freeze, and they can’t even move a finger, utter a word.

And when they reach that state that acquiring the Nature-like qualities, the ability to selflessly, altruistically help, serve others becomes the most important thing in their lives everything stops.

The all-powerful ego has nothing to offer, can’t help as it doesn’t have any connection to the “Nature-like qualities.

But that is exactly what we want and nothing else.

Becoming one with life, love

This is a state of desperate helplessness on one hand, knowing that with our inherent nature we would never achieve what we want, there is no way we can become selfless, altruistic. On the other hand the freeze, the paralysis removes, neutralizes the ego.

The person becomes totally free, a liberation never felt before. As we become transient, empty, without the ego’s constant influence suddenly we start feeling Nature’s life-giving force, “life-flow”, circle of life streaming through us towards others.

We feel ourselves as the heart pumping Nature’s life, love towards others, towards the rest of the system.

And as long as one uses this newly achieved freedom to selflessly, altruistically serve, help others the freedom remains and the person feels as if reality was in one’s hands, with total control.

At the same time a new kind of fear appears, a fear of the ego’s control returning. It is a feeling like the heart fearing that if it stops the circulation stops and life stops.

The ego’s desperate helplessness, paralysis opens the way towards sensing life in a completely new way, as a provider, one who creates and sustains life, passes everything to others, keeping the whole system alive.

One becomes life and love itself.
