Something is missing…

When we look at the world we live in, especially if we truly and honestly look, nothing seems to make sense.

Of course, if we choose to keep our desperately rosy glasses on and we do not want to think or trouble ourselves with understanding anything and we are happy to take the 24/7 brainwashing and propaganda that reaches us, we see a “perfect world.”

Then, we do not find any trouble in how people behave and dress, what fashions they follow, what they find “iconic and historic,” and who their “legends” are.

Then we also have no trouble with our children changing enders like changing clothes, considering TikTok and Facebook and Youtube influencers their role models and have no specific humane purpose for their lives other than simple and “fashionable” day-to-day survival.

Then we are not disturbed by the general collapse of societies worldwide, we do not care about the very obvious and palpable effects of climate change, and we do not really care about wars and destruction raging — until it reaches our doors or when we are told to protest against someone who is evil, although we do not really know them and we do not know why they are evil, but we go and protest and shout slogans anyway.

But, if we look with eyes and minds open, we simply cannot understand what is happening. By all accounts, humanity should have self-destructed and become extinct a long time ago. We start to feel that in our present destructive form, we simply have no right to exist in nature’s system.

We also do not understand nature, where — from our own viewpoint — we see only destruction, killing, and violence, while at the same time, nature’s system seems to be developing according to some unknown plan, and it is capable of creating and nurturing life.

And when it comes to humanity’s role and purpose in evolution, it is completely perplexing and incomprehensible. Why did evolution produce a species that seems much more intelligent and capable than anything else in nature, only to use its intelligence and capabilities to consume and destroy everything while also destroying itself like cancer? Why did evolution give human beings the ability to ask questions about the “meaning and purpose” of life, about the origin of life, when at the same time, seemingly people weren’t given the ability to find answers to these questions?

When we studiously look at the world, we start to feel and actually see more and more as if something is missing from the whole picture. It is not surprising that scientists are searching for “dark matter” and “God particles”; they come up with all kinds of convoluted models for the Universe since, based on what we know, this reality should not even exist, let alone survive in the form we perceive it.

Overall, we see and experience overwhelmingly negative forces and influences in the world, both in nature and also in humanity, while at the same time, reality still exists, it develops, and life is still created and nurtured.

It is as if we saw only half of the equation while the other half is missing. And based on us only seeing the negative and destructive half, not feeling balance or wholeness in the world we experience, we also act similarly, only in a negative and destructive way.

There are a few unique, empirical natural scientists who have been studying human nature and nature’s all-encompassing system for millennia. These scientists tell us that our feelings are correct. With our inherently subjective, individualistic, and egocentric consciousness and perception of reality, we can see only the negative and destructive half of reality, and as a result, constantly feeling threatened by others and nature, we also act in a negative and destructive way.

Our whole life is spent in the shadow of the fear of death, while whatever we ever create and invent, we use for controlling, manipulating, exploiting, and destroying others and nature.

We simply cannot see the positive, life-creating, and life-nurturing force in nature; we can’t perceive and comprehend the very force that creates and sustains balance and governs everything by harnessing and complementing the negative side.

Religions talk about such a force that they call “god” or the “Creator,” but in the lack of true attainment, knowledge, and feeling, religions have to resort to blind faith and wild guesses about this single governing force. And since religions were also invented and conducted through the same limited, egocentric, subjective, and individualistic human nature that wants to exploit, control, and destroy, even the “image of God” is mostly tainted with negative, cruel, and harsh qualities and attributes.

Or, if they tried to preserve “God’s” positive image, they had to invent opposite and negative forces or characters that work against the “positive God.” The problem is that with such opposite and negative forces, the image of the singularity and omnipotence of “God” also disappears and becomes questioned.

Science tries to recognize and describe all available acting forces in reality, but nobody has come close to unifying these forces and coming up with an intelligible formula of a single force field and deterministic developmental plan operating in the Universe that could explain evolution’s seemingly ordered and purposeful process and humanity’s actual place and role in the whole plan.

In short, we have no idea what creates and holds together and moves the world we live in; we do not even know what force gives us life and keeps us alive, why the assembly of our cells and organs can be alive in one moment and then become lifeless a moment later.

The above-mentioned unique empirical scientists tell us that in order to come to see the complete picture and to recognize nature’s singular, positive, and life-creating force, we ourselves need to become complete. Since we are also born only with the “negative side,” driven by a 100% self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and exploitative nature, we need to find a way of complementing ourselves with a positive, nature-like, selflessly loving, and bestowing force and quality.

Only when we manage to complement ourselves with such a positive force and start sensing and experiencing reality in between the inherent negative and acquired positive force can we start truly researching and recognizing nature’s perfect system.

Obviously, we have no ability to “create something out of nothing.”

If we are born with a 100% negative force and quality, how could we generate a positive side and force in us?

But we can learn how to draw this positive force — encompassing the whole reality but initially unfelt by us — on us and use it to complement our original negative side and make ourselves complete as a result.

Through a unique method — the above-mentioned unique scientists developed for us — we can start to make fully committed and devoted efforts to act and exist like nature’s mutually integrated elements and like the individual cells of our own biological body to selflessly and unconditionally serve and support one another in special groups.

And while we cannot actually achieve this — since our original nature cannot allow it and cannot support it — through our concerted, consistent, and mutual efforts, we invite and draw on ourselves nature’s unique developmental forces, which will complement our efforts and give us a “second nature,” the practical and actual ability to start existing and behaving only for the sake of others — above and against our inherent nature.

This is when, in contrast to our original qualities, behavior, and attitude, we will start practically and tangibly sensing nature’s singular, positive, life-creating, and life-nurturing force flowing and acting through us.

We will viscerally and vividly feel new abilities that seem “out of character,” as if we received “superhuman” abilities and forces to truly love, support, and complement one another.

We will also understand that it was specifically for this reason that evolution gave us birth with such contrasting, destructive, and “unintelligent” nature and qualities, so against and above them, we could recognize and attain nature’s positive, perfect, and life-creating qualities and ability.

Then, through this “borrowed and acquired” similarity with nature’s positive force, we will also recognize, attain, and understand this force, and finally, we will start to see in its complete perfection and wholeness, nothing missing from the perfect picture.

As a result, we also stop resisting and constantly reacting to the “negative picture” of the world we felt before since now we feel and see only perfection and wholeness. This way, we finally settle into its perfect reality, fulfilling our own perfect complementary role in it.
