Seeing A Terrible World
We feel existing in a hostile, crisis ridden world. All our lives we are competing, fighting for resources, survival, trying to outsmart others, succeeding at their expense.
Today we have reached the unprecedented stage where on one hand we realized that we inevitably act this way driven by our inherently selfish, egoistic and hateful nature, on the other hand we also started to see that if we don’t change this paradigm we won’t survive – perhaps even beyond our generation – in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world.
But before we could exert changes, implementing true solutions, we have to learn about our perception of reality.
Distorted, Subjective Perception
It is true that the world we see is far from perfect, it looks terrible actually, but in truth the problem is not with the world.
As much as it is impossible to accept yet, the world, the system of reality we exist in is actually perfect. It is us who see it in a distorted way.
Due to our selfish, egoistic nature our resulting perception of reality is completely skewed. We see everything from a self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, subjective point of view in order to help our “personal computer” in its introverted “pleasure/pain” calculations.
Thus we don’t see reality “as it is”, we see a highly reduced, filtered, individual version of it. And due to our egoistic and hateful nature the picture we see is egoistic and full of hate.
As a result we find ourselves in a vicious cycle, in a “self-fulfilling prophecy”. Our inherent nature with its instinctive distrust expects the worst from the world, from others, and our subjective perception distorts the picture “reaching us” thus reinforcing our expectations, showing only our own subjective, negative reflections of anything and anybody.
All our thoughts, actions are based on an already distorted, negative, hateful picture we perceive and since we ourselves react accordingly, in a negative, hostile, revengeful way, our reactions just make everything even worse.
And since everybody acts driven by the same inherent nature, operating software, the constant reciprocal distrust, hatred, ruthless, exclusive competition only grows, intensifies.
Unfinished, Incomplete Product
It is important to note, understand that contrary to what some philosophies, religions state we are neither “evil or sinful”. We are born with this nature thus we had no choice about it. Moreover human beings acting like this by default agrees with the general plan of evolution.
We have to consider ourselves as a species that is incomplete, “unfinished”. We are like a product that was released “on the market” before the final touches, final adjustments could have been applied.
This is all purposeful. Human beings are supposed to direct the final phase of their own development consciously. We ourselves have to determine and then request the internal changes, adjustment we would need to go through in order to reach our final, perfect form.
This is in order to prepare us for our unique Human purpose in reality: becoming the fully conscious, “all knowing” collective intelligence, benevolent partner and guardian of the whole, vast, cosmic system.
Thus we have to use the unique, human, analytic mind capable of critical self-assessment to fully diagnose the problem and them initiate, request the solution from the “force of evolution” that is waiting for us in order to assist purposefully.
Preparing To Edit The Distorted Picture
So if we want to take our fate, development into our own hands, if we want to find the true solution to the worsening, historic vicious cycles, we would need to snip the above described process of vicious, hateful cycle in its “bud” state.
We need to change how we see the world, we will need to complete our imperfect, distorted view like restoring a damaged photograph.
But what can we use for this restoration? What “image editing software” could we use complementing our inherently selfish, egoistic and hateful software which we cannot suppress or delete?
We can’t get rid of our inherent nature, inclination. We will always approach others and the world around us with distrust, rejection, trying to exploit everything for our own sake.
We have enough historic experience proving that the instinctive human nature installed in is by default can’t be tricked, forcefully suppressed and it can’t be reasoned with since it can’t function in any other way. Instead we would need to supplement this given baseline with a new software, like installing dual operating systems on the same computer.
True Love
Wise sages who know the fundamental laws of nature and inherent human nature call this upgrade as “love covers all transgressions”. In other words the instinctive distrust, rejection, “baseless hate” remains, but we have the capability of awakening a new love on top of hate, neutralizing, overriding our.
We can acquire a loving, embracing clothing over our hateful nature, like covering inherent destructive, individual cancer cells with a unique membrane that allows them to interconnect and form higher quality, multi-cellular organisms.
This “love”, the unique clothing, connective membrane we need to acquire is something unprecedented, something we have no experience, knowledge about.
Here we are talking about “true love”, which is the completely selfless, altruistic, unconditional service of another, making calculations solely on the desire, necessities of the “beloved” while fully ignoring any selfish, individualistic calculations, needs.
This is what the archaic principle of “love your neighbor as yourself” describes where the notion of “love as” actually means “love others more than you love yourself”.
This is obviously completely against our inherent nature. It means “death”, “suicide” from our inherently selfish, egoistic and hateful point of view. This is exactly the reason why this principle – which in fact describes nature’s most fundamental law for maintaining balance, homeostasis – remained a mere slogan, nice headline despite being at the core of all religions and spiritual teachings.
Thus this “true love”, the clothing, membrane complementing our egoistic and hateful matter needs to come as a “supernatural” supplement, addition, upgrade.
The Human Advantage
No human being is capable of this “true love” but at the same time we exist in it like an ocean surrounding us. The whole natural Universe was “created” and exists by “true love”.
Only this notion of selfless, altruistic and unconditional service of “others” in between elements, particles, cells can maintain balance and homeostasis in order to create life and facilitate continuing positive development.
Of course in nature it happens instinctively, automatically, the particles, plants or animals are not conscious about it. And as a result they don’t “know, attain” the magnificent perfection they are part of, they simply can’t marvel at the miracle of life, the almost incomprehensible miracle of the natural Universe we exist in.
Conscious recognition, attainment is only possible from within contrast, as a result of comparative research, and by proactively working to achieve the state one marvels at.
This is the reason why Human beings, who are supposed to become the conscious element in the Universe had to enter the system in such an incomplete, opposite state, so we can ourselves work for and attain completion and integration ourselves.
Recognition Of The Missing “True Love” Leading To A Miracle
The first part of the process is the recognition, the acknowledgment that the picture of the world we see is distorted, incomplete. We ourselves have to arrive to the precise, undoubted conclusion that from the distorted picture of reality we see it’s “true love” – which could complement, neutralize inherent hate – that is missing.
The lack of this “true love” causes us seeing the distorted, hateful picture, leading to all the problems, crisis situations humanity is suffering from.
The final part of this initial stage is reaching – after repeated efforts in trying generate the benevolent connection among people – the desperately helpless recognition, that such “true love” doesn’t exist in us. We have to admit that by ourselves we would never be able to conjure up such a quality as we have no devices, software for it.
This recognition leads to a involuntary, unstoppable need, yearning, request. We need to come to a true, visceral sensation that without receiving “true love” in order to cover our instinctive hate our lives have no meaning. We have to be grabbed, crushed by a sharp feeling that even death is better than continue to live like this.
This is the state when we receive assistance from nature’s evolutionary force, when seemingly a miracle happens and we receive the capability of “true love”, selfless, altruistic and unconditional service of others “from the outside”.
The Reactivated Software Of “True Love”
Of course there are no miracles in a natural system that is based on strict, unbending natural laws. Although we are not aware of it we are actually capable of “true love” but we can’t activate it simply “switching this quality on”.
Our capability of “true love” is hidden, buried underneath our actual selfish, egoistic and hateful operating software.
We have remnants of the instinctive natural software in us from before we have become conscious human beings. After all we have evolved, arose from the same perfect natural system all other living creatures did.
But under the overriding selfish, egoistic “human software” we only have partial, broken fragments of the altruistic software, partial DNA segments remaining that by themselves are incapable of functioning.
In unique “laboratory circumstances”, a sufficiently large enough, committed human circle can activate this “primordial, natural” software by combining their individual fragments while at the same time reaching the above mentioned critical point of desperate helplessness.
This combination of desperate need for “true love” and the precise knowledge that only within their committed connections it is possible to activate it has to coincide. Then the primordial software becomes activated with the help of nature’s evolutionary force.
As a result the members of the circle can start sensing a unique, unprecedented double perception, sensing both the original, hateful nature rejecting them from one another, and the revived primordial, altruistic natural software providing “true love”, connecting them together above that hateful rejection.
The Accidental Observer
The new double perception is very sharp. The two contrasting sensations are very clearly separated from one another.
Without a unique purposeful connection in between the two, sensing two such opposing, contrasting abnormal states is simply intolerable. We need a way to merge, harmonize those two completely incompatible impressions, combining them into a single notion.
We can’t tolerate, comprehend the vast opposition, contrast until we keep relating them to ourselves, as if the hate and love originated from us, as if they concerned our own relation to others, to reality.
We can only perceive, research and scrutinize these states if we start looking at them independently.
So we have to develop a brand new, “out of body” experience as if we accidentally fell into “someone else’s reality”, watching someone else’s emotional impressions, turbulence, contrasts.
We have to completely exit our own point of view as if “I” truly didn’t exist but I am just an accidental observer of another reality.
This “out of body exit” will unfold in the previously mentioned “human laboratory” where the recognition of “intrinsic hate”, the absolute necessity of “true love” is revealed.
Within that same committed circle of people the members can achieve such a mutual devotion, self-annulment towards one another while finding the contrasts on between hate and love, that a unique, transparent, selfless observer point develops in between them.
Then through this selfless observer point they can develop the tangible sense that they are observing the reality of the very source that created and sustains the natural Universe. They can start observing everything from this source’s point of view.
Thus both the hateful rejection and the loving embrace, both kinds of operating software driving reality are traced back to that source while the observers simply experience them flowing through their circle, within their mutual connections.
Neither the hate nor the love belongs to them. As they can emotionally detach themselves from those contradicting states they can start researching, understanding, justifying how those seemingly incompatible, mutually exclusive emotional states comprise a perfect whole.
Through their unceasing mutual work – although they frequently get caught on the burning hate our all consuming love as those contrasting influences intensify – they have to refine, tune, rearrange themselves so they can keep returning to the perfect, independent, objective observer point of view.
From there the balance, perfection of the system becomes perceptible so they can fully justify the source and its perfect reality.
And by constantly changing, refining, clarifying their attitude, their relation and point of view towards everybody else and the system, justifying everything as perfect, they suddenly sense and infinite, overwhelming happiness, contentment.
But even this happiness is not their own. They sense the contentment, satisfaction of the source and the whole system as if they handed back a previously lost, damaged but now restored very dear picture to its original owner.
The “accidental observers” found, restored and handed back the perfect picture causing great contentment all around.
