Question from the Internet:

Is there a scientific definition of a “true human” or is everyone genetically unique? Can anyone be considered truly human?

My answer:

Yes, there is a scientific definition of being “truly Human.”

This state is the purpose and peak of our “human evolution,” and it is a state evolution expects and obligates us to reach.

In Hebrew, “Human” is “Adam” (or Bnei Adam) from the expression “domeh” which means similar. Becoming “truly Human” means to become “similar” or even “equal” to nature’s all-encompassing force and quality, the force or quality that creates and nurtures life.

This unique “natural” or “evolutionary” quality is characterized by such notions as “true love and bestowal,” meaning the notion of totally selflessly and unconditionally serving and fulfilling the whole system of reality without any interest in reward or “self-recognition.”

“Nature” has no thought or notion of itself in any way; nature’s system simply creates and nurtures life and drives the whole system towards a final, most perfect, totally integrated, and mutually complementing state.

There is a reason why human beings are considered the peak of natural evolution — provided we achieve our highest, “truly Human” level.

If we manage to consciously and proactively change and upgrade our inherently egocentric, self-absorbed, self-serving, and exploitative nature — evolution created us with by purpose — to a nature that becomes similar to nature in terms of its qualities, we will become nature’s only fully conscious, actively and methodically integrated element, nature’s actual consciousness, and partner.

This is why we have to start from a state that is opposite to nature’s, so we have the free choice and ability to take our human development into our own hands and achieve the above-described “truly Human state.”

This is something extremely realistic and practical. The last and conscious phase of this human development starts only in our own generation, where a vast number of people start to ask about our human purpose in life while we also recognize that our previous and present, totally selfish and egotistic development is driving us towards a global catastrophe.

We live in the most exciting time in Human history, in a generation that can achieve the “truly Human” state natural evolution created us for. There is no other purpose for our existence.
