Egocentric, individualistic Human Beings trapped into a Global, Integral system

Evolving into a Global world

“Globalization” means that we have evolved into a globally integrated and fully interdependent world.

Although most of the time we think globalization concerns only the global markets, financial systems, global business or global entertainment, mass media, and that it is all a man-made system, this is not so.

We had to evolve into this global, integral system since this is what Nature’s relentless, lawful evolutionary plan is demanding from Humanity. Evolution drives the whole Natural system towards increasing diversity, complexity on one hand, while on the other it directs this diverse, complex system towards most optimal integration.

And Humanity — as a species of the system, being born from Nature, still existing in it — does not have any other choice but to follow this plan.

Egotistic, Individualistic instincts

At this stage, we do not want to follow this plan. Instead, we want to follow our inherently egocentric, individualistic instincts, inclination.

This is exactly how we try to cope with hazards, with all the global problems, natural disasters we are facing. We try to cope with them individually, nationally, according to our “gut instincts”, in a completely uncoordinated and thus inadequate manner as we could observe through this crisis as well.

At the moment we are in a terrible, seemingly unsolvable, explosive paradox between our inherently egocentric, individualistic, subjective nature and our totally integrated and interdependent Natural conditions.

Need for Change — through a purposeful method

Nature’s system and the direction, goal of evolution will not change. Only we can and have to change, adjust, making us aligned with the general flow, development of the system.

And in order to become capable of such unprecedented, fundamental self-changes, starting to exist, develop above and against our instincts, hormonal reactions, we need a very unique, purposeful, and practical educational method. Only that way can we perform the necessary changes with positive motivation, without coercion, willingly joining, participating through free choice.
