Question from the Internet:

“How do we build the right society?”

Human society is a collection of people that are interacting with each other. In order to build the “right” society, we need to teach and help people to coexist and interact with each other in the “right” way.

But what is the “right” way to coexist and cooperate, what does the “right” society look like?

After all, all through history, we have been trying to build the “right” society. Nobody, not even the greatest “villain” set out to build a “bad” or “evil” society. They and we all develop or build something because we believe that it is the “good” and “right” thing to build and develop.

So why did all of our experiments, the countless civilizations, and all the social, political, governing, and economic systems we have ever built turn out to be destructive and self-destructive? Why is our own human system, our present — mostly Western — society collapsing, driving humanity towards a global collapse?

This is because what we consider “right vs. wrong”, and “desired vs. undesired” is judged and evaluated only from within our inherently egocentric, subjective, self-serving, and self-justifying nature and viewpoint.

We are not ‘evil” or “sinful”.

We simply can’t behave, exist, or act in any other way. We notice, recognize, accept and use from reality only what serves our narrow self-interest. Knowingly or unknowingly, we all succeed and survive at each other’s expense. And in human society the strongest, most selfish, and egoistic minority quickly corrupts and manipulates everything in their own favor, controlling and exploiting the less selfish, less egoistic, and less powerful masses.

So what is the “right” society?

Human beings are born from nature, exist in nature, and evolve together with nature. Nature is a lawful, deterministic, fully integrated system with the sole aim of creating, nourishing, and developing life. Human society, as long as we follow our inherent nature which is against nature’s principle, is harming and destroying life like cancer, both for human beings and for nature.

The “right” human society is a society that has become similar to how nature is organized, establishing nature-like coexistence and cooperation, where each and every element — in our case individual human being — selflessly and unconditionally serves others and the whole system.

Why did nid nature and evolution “create” us opposite to the desired and “right” conditions? Why are we born “cancer-like” when we have to become “life-creating and life-nurturing” like nature?

This was purposeful by evolution. Human beings have a unique and irreplaceable role and purpose in nature. We have to become the whole system’s only conscious, integrated, and at the same time independent and fully aware “internal observers” and equal partners. This is possible only by being born opposite to and outside of nature’s laws and balance and acquiring similarity and integration consciously and purposefully, against and above our instincts and original behavior.

The right human society is comprised of “truly Human” beings, that achieved a nature-like mutual integration and coexistence by their own efforts, willingly and consciously.

And this necessitates a unique, purposeful, and practical educational method. This method can help us recognize our toxic and destructive incompatibility with nature while giving us the method and the tools to reach the crucially necessary compatibility by our own merit.

With the help of this special method, we will be able to build the “right” human society — right according to nature’s laws and evolution’s plan — and enjoy life as “truly Human” beings.
