Humanity can’t survive without love and compassion

Humanity can’t survive without love and compassion. But the love and compassion we need are not the same as the “love and compassion” we talk about by default.

This is why our “love” and “compassion”, or the religions, spiritual teachings, philosophies that preach “love and compassion” did not help us build better, safer, peaceful and equal societies, but they did the opposite: they separated us from each other, turning people against one another.

We need Nature’s love and compassion, the totally selfless, unconditional service towards others and towards the collective, our own cells and organs show in our biological bodies. This is the kind of “love and compassion” valance, homeostasis — and thus life — would not be possible.

This is why we need a very special, purposeful and highly practical educational method which can help us harness, draw on ourselves Nature’s template, its “life-giving” evolutionary force in order to neutralize, complement our innate “hate”, distrust, animosity towards everybody who we do not agree with — which in our age includes even our own family members.

The duality of instinctive rejection and Natural love we acquired gives us our special, Human advantage in Nature’s evolution, making us the only conscious, objective observers of the system’s perfect “circle of life” through the contrast.
