Who rules the world?

Question from the Internet:

“Does someone rule the world?”

There is not one person ruling the world. There is not even a group of people, alliances, parties, governments, kings, or dictators who rule the world.

We exist in a world of forces, laws, and developmental processes. It is these forces, laws, and developmental processes that rule the world. And we are simply observers and participants in the processes and events these forces, laws, and developmental flows govern.

How we experience our life and existence depends on how we observe these forces and processes and how we identify with them.

By default, we are all born with a 100% self-obsessed, subjective, individualistic worldview and set of calculations. We experience the world only in relation to what is happening to us.

Our sense of “right or wrong,” “life or death,” and “success or failure” only relates to our own introverted “pleasure/pain” calculations. We can’t even see, feel, taste, or perceive anything that is beyond our self-interest and calculations.

While we stay within our inherent parameters, we can say that it is our ego that rules the world. We perceive the world; we behave in it according to how our ego projects it through our egocentric and subjective filters. We see and interact with others and the world according to how the ego dictates and we see our own qualities, desires, and intentions reflecting back from anything and everything “around us.”

This egotistic and subjective perception and existence give us the picture of the world we see, together with its defined and limited coordinates of time, space, and physical motion.

If we managed to disconnect our “human observer” from the influence of the ego and started perceiving and using the world in a totally selfless and objective manner, existing and acting through the desires, needs, and viewpoints of other people, we would explore and recognize a totally different world.

Without the constant negative influence of the ego, we would live in a world that is permeated and governed by the actual, natural force of “true love and bestowal.” This force is Nature’s single, life-creating and life-nurturing evolutionary force that builds and moves everything in reality.

This force acts based on “true love,” which means the totally selfless and unconditional service and support of anything and everything outside of the sphere of the “self.”

When we ourselves learn how to act and exist like this force, we start to feel this force like a properly tuned radio receiver. Actually, it is not us acting. When we separate our observing “human self” from its inherent, egotistic shell, we start to feel Nature’s singular operating force acting through us.

This is how we can recognize this force — in contrast to how our ego operates, sensing the ego and Nature’s loving and operating force against it.

Then we finally understand what rules the world and how we can become partners with this singular operating force. And this would not have been possible without feeling and existing within our ego first.

And this is something very practical and realistic, and the feelings we gain our tangible and visceral. All we need is the right, purposeful and practical method that is based on the most fundamental laws and processes in Nature.
