Question from the Internet:

“If everyone in the world would follow your decision to unite the whole world for a better place would you say yes? If yes dont you think its probably the same answer for the most of us and that we should do something?”

My answer to both of your questions is a resounding yes. Thus the obvious question is, why do people not think and act like that? And how could we “convince” people to make efforts to unite the world to make it a better place?

I think the most important thing we need to realize is that in order to achieve sustainable and fundamental changes, we need people to follow and implement those changes willingly.

We can’t coerce or trick people with misleading propaganda into positive and sustainable changes. Even if they change initially, that will prove to be temporary, and then everything explodes in a violent rebound reaction.

So how can we achieve this global unity that could create a better world and why did we not achieve it before?

A global unity, a society where each and every person cares for and acts for the sake of the whole collective, is against our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic nature.

By default, we can make calculations, decisions and actions only for our own sake – most of the time at the expense of others.

This is not evil, we are not criminal. This is the “internal software” we are all born with without any free choice.

Thus we are actually not responsibnle for what happened through history and we are not responsible for the state of the world today.

Our responsibility and free choice starts from the moment we recognized and accepted that our inherent nature is “cancer-like” and self-destructive and we also developed a desire and need to change ourselves, and we also have an actual and practical method to change ourselves.

Only our present generation has reached the point of this maturity, historical and contemporary experience to ready for this free choice, while the method that is necessary is also ready and open for everyone.

This unprecedented change in human development, when we consciously and willingly take our evolution and “fate” into our own hands, making ourselves similar to nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated life-creating system starts now.

Obviously it will not start with 8 billion people all at once. It will start – actually it has already started – with a critical minority of people, who are more sensitive and willing to start changing and further developing themselves – instead of correcting, blaming, changing or destroying others.
