We need a revolutionary change in our perception of reality

Question from the Internet:

“In what area of life do you want a revolution?”

We need a revolution in our perception of reality.

By default, we only see a very limited and distorted picture of reality through our inherently egocentric and subjective viewpoint. And whatever we see, and experience is connected to our 100% self-serving and self-justifying “pleasure/pain” calculations.

And this introverted approach to reality is very much working against us now when we evolve into a globally integrated and interdependent world.

At this stage, we can’t even comprehend, let alone find solutions for our mounting global problems, since each individual and nation care only about themselves and try succeeding at the expense of others.

This is why we urgently need to go through a unique revolution in our perception of reality when instead of only seeing ourselves and our close circle, instead of making calculations only for our own benefit, we could start sensing the whole world as a single system we are all integral parts of and thus make calculations for the benefit of all.

This is the key to global problem-solving and safeguarding our collective human survival in Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system.
