What is wrong with humanity today?

Question from the Internet:

“What is wrong with our humanity today?”

If I wanted to be funny, I would say that the fact that we do not what is wrong with our humanity is what is wrong with the world today.

We already know that something is wrong; we already see how desperately helpless we are in trying to solve our mounting problems. We are almost resigned to the fact that our civilization is collapsing, that wars and socioeconomic hardship are coming, and that more plagues and climate change-related extreme weather and natural events will chase us from our homes and deplete our food and water sources.

We see how badly and ruthlessly we treat each other and that we keep succeeding at the expense of others — which we wildly enjoy — in this “dog eats dog” world.

But we still do not know why.

And this is the biggest problem. After all, without the right diagnosis, we keep trying superficial and symptomatic treatments and “solutions” — through politics, diplomacy, economics, social means or military actions — which only make everything worse.

But revealing the true diagnosis is very difficult. For that, we would need to recognize and accept that the root cause of all our historical and contemporary problems is within us. We would need to recognize and accept that instead of blaming, correcting, censoring or destroying others, we need to blame and change and further develop ourselves.

And this is the last thing our inherent ego wants. Our ego wants to serve and justify itself in any given circumstances, even in the face of imminent destruction. Our ego would make us sacrifice even our physical existence but to accept the need to change ourselves. This is where we are now when our ego basically drives us towards a collective suicide by refusing to accept the crucially necessary self-change and self-development.

But we have the conscious ability to want to separate our “self” from the ego and to aspire for changes and further development above and against the ego.

Everything depends on mutually developing and strengthening a desire in us for unprecedented and fundamental self-changes with each other’s help.

And when we develop such intolerable needs and desires to change and further develop ourselves that we can literally no longer accept life and human existence in its original, egocentric, subjective and individualistic way and want to rise to a qualitatively much higher evolutionary state, then the necessary changes will start and develop with the help of a unique method.

That method will help us harness and use all the available means and forces in Nature’s system that can assist us in developing a completely new, selfless and altruistic attitude and approach to others and life, which will lead to a completely new, Nature-like, finely balanced and mutually integrated humanity.
