How can we together boost our human progress?
Question from the Internet:
How can we together boost our human progress?
My answer:
I think you answered the question within the question.
Only together can we boost our human progress.
At the moment, we exist and behave according to a total misunderstanding that we are independent, self-serving, self-justifying, and egocentric individuals who can freely compete and fight one another for life and resources.
This is how we see ourselves and the world according to our inherent viewpoint and perception of reality.
However, from the viewpoint of nature’s all-encompassing, globally integrated, and mutually interdependent system, humanity is a single living organism in which we are all but individual cells.
According to our inherent viewpoint, we exist and behave like cancer cells, destroying and consuming everything based on selfish egoism.
According to nature’s “expectations” and evolution’s deterministic plan, we have to exist and behave like healthy cells that live and receive everything only for the sake of maintaining the general balance and homeostasis — within humanity and between humanity and nature — that are the foundations of life.
There is a reason why nature’s evolution gave us the inherently limited and distorted viewpoint where we feel ourselves separated and independent. If we consciously and proactively achieve the expected and obligatory mutual integration and mutually complementing cooperation — through which we also become similar to nature’s system — then even after being integrated with each other and becoming integrated into nature’s system through the similarity we achieved with it, we will maintain our independent observer and research ability.
This way, we will become nature’s only “insider” observers who can consciously attain and understand the process of creating and nurturing life.
We will also become nature’s only conscious mind and benevolent partners with the help of the contrast we gain by achieving nature’s mutual integration and coexistence above and against our inherent nature.
Only when we start this conscious integration process can we speak about “truly Human” progress after the millennia-long blind and instinctive, selfish, and egotistic “humanoid” development.
This unique collective “self-development” requires a special educational method that can help us learn and implement in practice how to integrate and cooperate above and against our instinctive nature.
