Should I help others or do what I want?

Question from the Internet:

“Should I help others or do what I want?”

As strange as it might sound, the best for you is to help others, as the best for me is also to help others.

According to our inherently egocentric, subjective, self-serving and self-justifying nature and calculations this sounds like a dangerous paradox. But according to Nature’s strict laws, that govern the general balance and homeostasis that life depends on, this is the truth.

Most people already recognized and accepted that we evolved into a globally integrated and fully interdependent human system. Most people would also have learned about Nature and the whole Universe being a single, mutually integrated and interdependent living system.

Still, when it comes to the practical level, how to exist and how to relate to others, human beings have a strange disconnection from actual reality. We speak about a global world, we speak about inevitable interconnections, we speak about the necessity of mutual responsibility – and then we continue acting in a totally egocentric, subjective, selfish and individualistic way, where we survive and succeed at the expense of others and Nature.

And as a result, our human system is stumbling from crisis to crisis and we are facing a seemingly inevitable global collapse.

We need a unique, purposeful and practical method, that can help us understand and actually, viscerally feel our total, orrevocable global interdependence and the absolute necessity to start existing like healthy cells in a single, living organism. Then we will accept and actually cherish that by selflessly and unconditionally helping others I help myself, since “I am” the whole organism, not simply a misguided, seemingly disconnected cancer cell.
