It’s time we learned and fulfilled our very unique, evolutionary Human purpose!
Question from the Internet:
“If God loved the world, then why are so many bad things happening?”
This is easier to understands if we “switch God” to Nature.
Nature is a system of forces, system of laws, with an “intelligent”, relentless, deterministic evolutionary plan.
In this plan Human beings have a very unique role, purpose.
Contrary to other animals we are given the chance to integrate into Nature’s perfect system, following Nature’s unchanging laws that sustain the balance, homeostasis life depends on in a conscious, proactive manner.
The still, vegetative and animate levels in Nature are by default, blindly integrated in the system, as a result they are not aware of the cause and effect processes, how and why evolution’s plan unfolds. They automatically fulfill their cogwheel role without any awareness.
Awareness, consciousness requires contrasts, comparative research, the unique duality of being as “outsiders” and “insiders” in Nature at the same time.
This is why Humanity is seemingly born outside of Nature’s states, similarly to “Adam who was kicked out of the Garden of Eden”.
Our instincts are opposite to animals - in animals the “greater good”, the well-being, optimal state of the whole system overrides any selfish, individual calculations. Our Human survival reflex is selfish, egotistic, we succeed and survive at the expense of others, at the expense of Nature. Human history is the chronicle of the constantly increasing, intensifying insatiable, egotistic Human drive for more.
This is neither evil, nor sinful, until now we simply blindly executed, fulfilled our inherent instinctive program like other animals, but in a “cancer-like”, destructive way, as programmed by Nature.
And now we find ourselves in a seemingly unsolvable, ever deepening global crisis as our Human system we built, destroyed then rebuilt again and again for millennia is increasingly incompatible with Nature’s laws.
But we had to reach this point so our unique Human intellect - capable of critical self-assessment, initiating self-change - could take over, and awaken, activate in us a deeper, “Nature-like” program. This new “Nature-like program can neutralize the original egotistic drive, and provide us with similarity and compatibility with Nature.
Then we acquire the above mentioned unique outsider/insider duality which is necessary for our unparalleled evolutionary role in Nature. Thus without developing through the ego first, without reaching the present dead-end in egotistic Human development, finding ourselves on the brink of self-destruction we would have never been able to activate the new, “Nature-like” software in us to reach the required duality.
If we were born like other animals, instinctively integrated into Nature we would have never developed, progressed as we did with the engine of the ego, we would be as chimpanzees and other developed primates today, unchanged for millions of years.
Everything is purposeful and guides us and the whole system towards the most optimal final goal in Nature’s perfect evolutionary system. It is time we learned the states, its plan, and it own very unique, unparalleled role in it!
