In the global era of “one for all, all for one”

Question from the Internet:

Do you feel at peace and connected to the world around you?

Not yet. I single person cannot feel at peace and connected to the world, it is not possible in a fully integrated and interdependent world.

Just imagine our biological body. Can one cell be at peace and connected to the body if the other cells, organs aren’t? Does the whole body not feel it when an organ is sick and doesn’t function properly?

Whether we know or not, whether we accept it or not, evolution pushed humanity into the global, integral age. This means that from now on everything works on the “all or nothing” principle, while we also have to start looking at humanity according to the expression “one for all, all for one”.

Now, this sounds easier than done, as such a view, attitude is totally opposite to our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and subjective nature that views, experiences everything only through self-benefit.

How much we are controlled by the original, selfish, exploitative ego we do not even know until we actually try implementing the above new principles of existence.

Only then do we start to experience the resistance and fight for survival from the part of the selfish ego. And only then can we start the actual work of correcting, harnessing the ego so we could become adapted to our new evolutionary conditions we cannot ignore, cannot change.
