Why is humanity crucial for evolution?
Question from the Internet:
“Why is human survival so important on the bigger level?”
Humanity has a very important role to play in Nature’s system. There is a reason we are the “peak of Natural evolution”.
Nature is a lawful system with a precise and deterministic evolutionary process. The whole system is based on and developed by a single, all-encompassing plan driven by a single, all-encompassing force field.
The Natural system is perfectly balanced by the selfless, mutually complementing cooperation of all of its parts — except human beings. On the other hand, the system lacks an independent consciousness that is consciously aware of the system and all the processes unfolding in it.
All the levels of Nature — inanimate, vegetative and animate — are instinctively and automatically integrated into the system, blindly and perfectly executing their individual and collective roles and functions for the system.
But without an independent consciousness that could attain and partner with the system “from within”, the system remains mindless and vulnerable.
This is why evolution “brought forth” human beings.
But in order for human beings to become the missing, conscious presence within Nature, we need to go through a unique, “supernatural” development that is unparalleled in Nature.
We had to be born with a nature, consciousness and perception that places us outside and against Nature’s otherwise fully integrated and balanced system. Only by consciously, purposefully and methodically learning and implementing seamless integration into Nature — above and against our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic operating software — can we reach the purpose evolution predetermined for us.
This is how we can become the Natural system’s only fully conscious, integrated and at the same time independent “insider” observers and equal partners.
This is why the survival of humanity is crucial for the whole system, and when we start to willingly and purposefully prepare ourselves for our role, we will find incessant and ever-present assistance from the side of Nature.
We just need the right method that can help us harness and use Nature’s developmental forces towards achieving and fulfilling our unique, evolutionary Human purpose in life.
