Do we need to innovate?

Question from the Internet:

“What is an innovation that would change the world?”

We do not need any innovation and we do not need to change the world.

All we have to do is change ourselves, more precisely to awaken qualities, a viewpoint that is already in us but has been dormant from the very beginning.

The world, especially Nature is perfect as it is. We are all perfect, born exactly with the qualities, abilities we need to find and fulfill our most optimal role for humanity and for the whole system.

But the innate sense of belonging, integration within humanity, and the system “have not been switched on” when human beings were born, or when we are born individually — as it is for any other still, vegetative or animal part of Nature.

This is why human beings are convinced they are independent, “standalone”, egocentric, subjective beings with individual freedom, individual rights and that they can develop, succeed, survive at the expense of each other and Nature.

It is this egocentric, individualistic, exploitative illusion we are born with that is the root cause of every problem we encounter. As a result, whatever we create, invent, innovate, produce is also serving our selfish egos, causing destruction even if the original plan, intention are good.

The only thing we need to do is awaken the dormant “Natural inner software” the instinctive belonging, integration to each other, and the system that could balance our destructive egos.

Then we could become exactly like all other parts of Nature, like other animals, seamlessly, perfectly integrated, mutually cooperating. But there is a vast difference that makes human beings the peak of evolution: We would achieve the same integration consciously, proactively in full awareness of ourselves and the system.

This will make humanity the only conscious, integrated but at the same time independent observers, partners of the system. Nothing is innovated, created anew, we simply awaken to who we truly are — by our own efforts.
