What does it mean that the world has become a single family?

Question from the Internet:

“What has made the world a small family?”

You are right. The world has become a single, all-encompassing family.

We say we live in a globally integrated and interdependent world. And most people think it is something human beings do with the economy and trade, with politics and media and so on.

But we have become a single family as a result of Nature’s strict and unforgiving laws moulding and pushing us to become compatible and integrated with its system.

Nature is a single, finely balanced and mutually integrated system, where those laws of Nature govern the general balance and homeostasis — that depends on the mutually responsible and mutually complementing integration of all comprising pieces — that life and optimal development depend on.

In fact, we are not only members of the same family; we are like single cells of the same living organism.

Of course, this is against our illusory, inherently individualistic, egocentric and subjective worldview that makes us believe as if we were independent, standalone beings that can dream, calculate and do whatever we want.

Somehow this human illusion worked to a certain extent until now, and we built a human bubble in Nature as a result. But we have reached a critical threshold in our generation, and this incompatible and harmful bubble has burst, and it is collapsing.

Our collective problem-solving ability and our collective human survival depend on understanding and viscerally feeling the completely integrated and interdependent system we exist in, why we were “outside of” this system so far, and how we can finally achieve compatibility and integration with the rest of the system before it is too late.

We can achieve this through a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method that can activate and use our special Human intellect and emotional system that is capable of true sensations and critical self-assessment.
