We are causing Nature’s increasing pressure on us!

Question from the Internet, related to the picture above:

“So you’re saying with your meme there that this coronavirus is a result of human ego?”

Yes, although I am receiving feedback from readers that I should try to avoid using the word “ego” due to its negative connotations.

So what I tried to say is that due to our inherent “program”, which drives us towards an excessively consuming, ruthlessly competitive life, where we instinctively survive at the expense of others and Nature, we are incompatible with Nature’s perfectly balanced system.

(Just a note about this instinctive behavior, that it is neither sinful nor evil, as we are born with this self-serving program, thus we had no free choice about it).

As a result of this incompatibility, we awaken negative reactions from Nature’s system, which will treat us as a “foreign body” in its system, resulting in increasing “blows”, different natural disasters.

Basically we are in a unique, “cosmic” education process where we are supposed to consciously reach compatibility with Nature. And this can unfold either as a result of the increasing blows or through a proactive, fully aware self-change process.

This is our Human advantage above other animals, this opportunity and ability to reach integration consciously, by our own efforts instead of being integrated blindly, by default like all other parts of Nature. This is why Nature developed Humans “unfinished”, incompatible, so we would have this conscious opportunity to complete our evolution by ourselves.
