The valuable knowledge we all need to know
Question from the Internet:
“What is your most valuable knowledge that too few people know and you would like to share to improve the lives of others? E.g. something about health, good nutrition, making money, making good friends, happiness…?”
If we want to be successful in life and be able to understand and solve our problems, we would need to know ourselves and the Natural system we are born from and still exist in. Then we would be able to adjust and adapt ourselves to the system that gives us life and our survival depends on.
All our problems — both historically and in our times — originate from the fact that we are incompatible with the Natural system, with its laws and its evolutionary direction.
Nature is a finely balanced and complete, mutually integrated system. In Nature, life depends on the general balance and homeostasis that is created and sustained by the totally selfless, mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation of all of its comprising parts. If we want the closest and most obvious example, we can look at how the cells and organs of our biological body operate to maintain health and our physical survival.
If even the tiniest part of the body gets out of balance or starts acting against the rest of the system, illness and death occur in the worst-case scenario. Of course, in Nature, this general balance and the seamless cooperation of all the myriads of diverse parts is automatic and instinctive.
Human beings, by default, are inherently and increasingly egocentric, subjective, self-serving and self-justifying. We — knowingly or unknowingly succeed at each other’s and Nature’s expense, and we even enjoy it when we can prove ourselves above others. As our insatiable ego has grown through history, we have become like cancer in Nature’s and humanity’s fully integrated and interdependent system.
Today humanity is a cancerous organ of 8 billion all-consuming, all-destroying cells in nature’s body. As a result, we self-destruct, as if ejecting ourselves from Nature’s system due to our incompatibility.
Unless we recognize and accept this self-destructive incompatibility with Nature, unless we develop a real need and desire to change ourselves in order to reach the crucially necessary compatibility with Nature, it does not matter what else we try or do. We can start solving our mounting global problems and safeguard our continuing and collective human survival only if we rebuild human society based on nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated template.
This has nothing to do with any of our arbitrary and baseless ideologies or philosophies — all the product of our individualistic, subjective and self-serving egos. We must change ourselves and adapt to Nature according to Nature’s strict and unforgiving laws and evolution’s relentless direction towards the most optimal mutual integration of the whole system.
