The pandemic and the crisis set us up to rise to a higher level of Human existence

Question from the Internet:

“Given how terrible 2020 has been, can giving up on life and humanity permanently be the right thing to do?”

What if I told you that especially because 2020 has been so terrible, now we have a chance to rebuild life and Humanity in a way that we will finally understand what life means, what it means to be Human?!

So far whole Human history has been a blind, instinctive affair, all of us simply “going through the motions”, helplessly repeating recurring, vicious historic cycles, while individually also falling into the same traps, crimes, and mistakes.

Despite making those mistakes, stumbling from crisis to crisis we kept ignoring the warning signs, as even today most people impatiently wait for the pandemic to pass, so we could return to the “old, normal life”, which meant sleepwalking towards seemingly inevitable self-destruction.

The pandemic removed our ability to cover the problems, to apply the usual cosmetic surgery with bailout and economic rescue packages. The gradually evolving socio-economic crisis will remove all the obsolete, non-essential production, services forcing us to scale down to the optimal parameters of natural necessities and available resources.

Of course, this will cause unprecedented unemployment with billions of people remaining without work. The already visible tensions, inequality, tear within societies will grow, people are already spilling onto the streets for riots and protests, the government will fall regardless of how much they responsible for what is happening.

If we do not find a way to snap out of the usual predictable, instinctive timeline, then we will arrive at a world war, like in the 1940s, but this time on a truly global scale.

And this imminent threat will force at least a healthy minority, “critical mass” to wake up and start thinking about the root causes of all our problems.

And when we recognize that all the historic and present problems that threaten our lives originate from the same, self-centered, self-serving, self-justifying and exploitative nature that drives each and every Human being, we will be able to start true solutions — instead of “solving” the superficial consequences, symptoms of the real “disease”.

This will lead to a completely new Human society that is based on Nature-like, mutually responsible and mutually complementing Human interconnections, collective intelligence, collective decision making, while we will live according to natural necessities and available resources. As a result, we will integrate with each other and by that, we also integrate with Nature.

Through the new Human society that adapts to Nature’s laws sustaining balance and homeostasis and the acquired collective intelligence, system consciousness and perception, we will all rise to a qualitatively much higher level of Human existence, partnering Nature and fully understanding enjoying Nature’s perfect system and its abundance we could not touch, comprehend before.

We will know how to find the most optimal, mutually responsible and mutually complementing activity for each Human being and how they can all receive everything they need to cover their necessities according to their individual conditions, abilities, contributions.

And this is not mysticism, New Age spirituality, this has nothing to do with political agendas religions. We can reach this special, new life right here, right now through the openly available, empirical Natural science that follows Nature’s fundamental laws of integration “religiously”.
