Humanity is facing a huge test!
Question from the Internet:
“Is humanity facing a huge test?”
Yes, exactly! We are facing a huge test right now; we were given the first free choice in human history!
Until now, human development has been a blind and instinctive affair. Each individual and collective of all of us have been “progressing” for millennia, driven by our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric and individualistic nature that makes us survive and succeed as a result of ruthless competition while excessively accumulating and consuming everything for ourselves.
This human ego driving us separated and differentiated us from other developed primates that remained virtually unchanged for millions of years while we went through incredible cultural, social and technological development. But at the same time — since as our human ego is making us behave like cancer — we also built a human system that has become increasingly harmful and incompatible with Nature.
Thus today, we are standing on the brink of global self-destruction, either destroying ourselves through wars and socioeconomic collapse or being defeated by Nature since we cannot even comprehend, let alone solve the mounting global problems that threaten our existence.
On the other hand, we have an unparalleled, unique human intellect and worldview, through which we can make an honest and critical self-assessment, and we can initiate unprecedented self-changes and further self-development. We have the ability to understand, recognize and accept that our problems and our seemingly inevitable sleepwalk towards self-destruction are caused by our inherent nature and that we have to change.
Our only free choice in human existence — and today, we are required to make a choice is the following: We can accept that we need to change and that by changing ourselves and the way we relate to each other and Nature, we can “repair the world” and make our human system compatible with Nature. By that, we consciously adapt ourselves to Nature’s system above and against our inherent tendencies and behaviour and become Nature’s actual conscious mind and equal partners.
The other “choice” is to stay as we are, closing our eyes and plunging into an unpredictable and suffering-filled transitional period, at the end of which a handful of survivors will have to make the same choice again, but with the experience of intolerable human suffering and loss.
