The future depends on how we evaluate and use the present crisis

Question from the Internet:

“With everything going on in the world right now. Where is this going to lead to, right now and in the future?”

It depends on how we look at what is happening and how we react to it.

We can continue behaving blindly, instinctively like every time when we reached a similar crisis, civilization-ending despair, waiting for “leaders”/”experts” to solve our problems until they solved it with wars.

Our own civilization-ending explosion is just around the corner as people are losing their jobs, the economy, societies are falling apart and people are spilling to the streets protesting about many different things completely pointlessly. And the war machinery is already warming up.

Or we could look at all the problems, deepening crisis as “birthing pain”, giving us a true, once in a lifetime opportunity to give birth to a new Human society, one that is built on completely new values, foundations.

But such a rebuilding, rebirth would require a completely new mindset, approach. We would need to detach ourselves from everything and anything we have done, followed before.

We would need to forget all the ideologies, philosophies, social and governing systems, and especially the overwhelming Anglo-Saxon principle of “divide and conquer” that has been destroying, consuming, ailing families, workplaces, Human societies from within for centuries.

Everything that we have ever invented, built was based on our inherently egocentric, selfish, and exploitative nature, justifying the misinterpretation of Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” principle.

The new Human society has to be built without any Human ideology, invention, it has to be based on nature’s fundamental laws that keep the crucial balance and homeostasis life and optimal development is based upon.

We are born from Nature, we are still integral parts of Nature and we are still evolving together with nature’s developmental plan progressing towards a full, most optimal integration.

As a result, the new Human society — in order to have the right to exist in Nature — has to be modeled on Nature’s template of “mutual guarantee”. This means building selfless, altruistic, unconditionally serving connections between people, as only in such a way can a closed, integral system — like Human society — solve problems and survive in the long term.

The fact that we have to build a “mutual guarantee” above and against our instinctive nature gives us our Human advantage in Nature’s system. All other still, vegetative and animate parts in Nature’s are part of this “circle of life”, mutual guarantee instinctively, automatically. As a result, they are not aware of the system and its utter, dynamic perfection.

By needing to build the above mentioned mutual, selfless, altruistic interconnections from a completely opposite, selfish, exploitative state means, that we reach integration with Nature — through purposefully, methodically integrating with each other — in full awareness.

By that, we fulfill our unique, unparalleled evolutionary Human purpose in Nature: to become the systems fully conscious, objective, insider observers, witnesses.

This is what is ahead of us, provided we learn to understand and use the present, civilization-ending crisis in the right, purposeful way.
