The true benefit of deep human connections

Question from the Internet:

“Do you believe that a deep connection with another human being facilitates hope? Why is that?”

A deep connection with another human being — especially if it is a connection with multiple others, without any instinctive, hormonal connections but building connection above and against instinctive distrust, animosity — facilitates, builds much more than hope.

Then in such unique, purposefully, methodically built interconnections — while also sensing the instinctive, selfish, subjective resistance — we start to tangibly, realistically sense a new dimension of life, that is incomparably greater, qualitatively higher than the life we feel without those connections.

It is the difference between the life, meager existence of a single cell, compared to the life of a complex, multi-cellular organism sensed on the “systematic”, composite level like how we feel life above our own biological cells and organs.

Just as how multi-cellular organisms developed from single-cell organisms earlier in evolution for the obvious evolutionary advantage, in our generation, we have to start a transition from an inherently individualistic, selfish, subjective existence towards building a single human “super-organism”.

Looking at our desperate helplessness through the pandemic, climate change, and other threatening global problems even a simple, physical human survival is not possible without an unprecedented, global, positive and sustainable, mutually responsible, mutually complementing cooperation.

But above this physical, animalistic reason to survive in this world, there is a much higher reason, purpose for our cooperation as mentioned above: we can acquire a so far unprecedented, incomprehensible dimension of collective consciousness, collective intelligence, a completely different form of sensing life above and without the inherently egocentric, subjective limitations of time, space and physical motion.

This is not mysticism, science-fiction, it is all “natural”, predetermined by Nature’s relentless evolution. We are now invited to take this process in our hands consciously, instead of waiting for increasing blows, physical suffering to wake us up and push us.
