We need to acquire a new, global, integral awareness

By default I don’t care much about others or the environment, as I am “programmed” by Nature to care only about myself, and about a small circle that is crucial for my day to day, egocentric and subjective survival.

And as we saw very clearly through the pandemic, this is how most of us operate, with complete disregard to the well-being of the others and in relation to Nature.

We care about ourselves not to become infected, but we couldn’t care less if others are infected by us.

And this is very dangerous ignorance in the globally integrated world we evolved into, where we all depend on each other and we are all absolutely responsible towards everybody else - regardless of whether we want it or not, as Nature’s laws of integration obligate us.

So we will need to learn above, against our instinctive reactions, attitude, program how this unprecedented “mutual responsibility” works, including how we relate the the Natural environment our life depends on.

According to Nature’s plan of evolution we are at the start of a new era, characterized by “one for all, all for one”. And Nature is not like a Human judge, cannot be appealed to, can’t be bribed. We either learn and keep the laws of we don’t.

This is the true meaning of “reward and punishment”, we reward or punish ourselves by compatibility or incompatibility with Nature’s laws.
