We can’t do anything against human nature — but we can upgrade and further develop our inherent nature

Question from the Internet:

“What are things we do every day that is against human nature?”

In truth, we cannot do anything against human nature as human nature is software that automatically — consciously or unconsciously — drives all of our calculations, thoughts and actions.

A human being is like a machine that is operated by a personal computer that is not capable of anything else by default but makes constant, very precise calculations based on a 100% self-serving, self-justifying and subjective “pleasure/pain principle”.

Whatever we think about our actions, everything we do in any given condition is to take us closer to ever-greater, ever more fulfilling pleasures while distancing ourselves from actual or expected pain and suffering for ourselves.

We cannot do anything else — unless we reprogram our personal computers with a unique upgrade.

What we are revealing and slowly accepting today is that our original software is harmful, because it actually makes us exist and behave like cancer in Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system which also made our human system globally integrated and interdependent.

As long as we are not capable of making any calculations, decisions and actions outside of the sphere of the self-centred and subjective ego, we inevitable cause harm to the whole system and through it to ourselves. This is why we need an urgent “upgrade”, further developing our operating software, so above and against the original selfish, egocentric and subjective program we could also make calculations for the well-being and most optimal development of the whole system — including Nature and humanity in it.

We have to become like other parts of Nature that have their own individual survival reflex and activities to cater for their basic necessities but that individual survival reflex and activity has to fit within the general balance and homeostasis of the whole system life depends on.

Our Human advantage is that we are the only part of Nature that can and has to achieve this adaptation and integration into nature’s overall balance consciously, by our own efforts. It is this conscious, proactive adaptation — above and against our original software — that will give us an unprecedented, intimate, insider attainment of Nature’s system, its evolutionary plan and all of the cause and effect processes that determine and govern life.

By that, we not only safeguard our future, collective survival but we also become Nature’s only conscious, integrated but at the same time independent observers and equal partners.
