Stop Trying To Fix The World

We're right on the verge of a new level of development. The past and present no longer serve our interests, and the future is unknown. So stop telling us what or how to fix things. Because no one actually knows what really needs fixing. The world is headed into a new global integral format, which will involve restructuring on all levels.

For thousands of years, the ego was king. We worked, conducted business, and made money. Now we are suddenly locked in a global network with countless elements that we cannot control and do not understand.

Can We Stop Pretending We're Fixing Things?

So if there's something wrong, and we're not even aware of it yet, how do we expect to fix anything? Sorry to burst your bubble on the top challenges we like to proclaim we're fixing -

Climate change: Just because hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised to "fix" climate change, and there are VIP conferences on this topic every week, and talking about it makes leaders look good - doesn't mean we're actually fixing anything. As long as we keep treating the planet like our personal garbage can, things will continue to be out of balance. So far nature has been very gentle.

Restoring trust: How can we repair human relations if we don't even understand what's wrong with us? How can we restore the kind of deep human connections required to restore trust when we don't even really know what we're dealing with.

Immigrants: Donating millions of dollars to international organizations doesn't fix anything because they spend all that money on themselves - their campaigns, their events, their hotels, their travel and expenses. If you really want to help misplaced people, then send people to the border to help.

Food crisis: There is no food crisis. We have plenty of food to feed everyone on the planet. But due to human greed there are people starving in certain regions. So this isn't really about the food shortage, but rather a shortage of human decency.

How We Got Here

The world is changing very quickly. The forces operating on us are forcing us to move to another level of awareness. It is demanding that we begin to understand nature’s governing laws, to look at the world we live in from a higher perspective, more expansively and globally than our narrow vision.

For thousands of years, civilization has been developing with an individualistic mindset. Each of us was driven by self-centered impulses that kept on growing. But now these impulses have brought us to a standstill. Today’s youth feel disoriented, uncertain about what to do with their lives and what they want from life. They feel like they don't fit into the mold we created for ourselves, because they're different than us.

For thousands of years, the ego was king. We worked, conducted business, and made money. Now we are suddenly locked in a global network with countless elements that we cannot control and do not understand.

Evolution's Lesson

We need to understand how this system we're in works. Every movement someone makes somewhere affects all of humanity. The butterfly effect has turned from a theory into our everyday reality. In such an integrated world, where everything is interconnected and interdependent, we have no choice but to take each other’s needs into account. Gradually, through bumping into more and more obstacles placed in our way, we'll begin to realize that unless we think of everyone, no one will succeed.

This will be humanity’s next great challenge: the transition to a new attitude toward all people.

The problem is that we're not designed to do that. Being considerate and caring to others does not come naturally to us. We will have to consciously acquire this new attitude together for the sake of our sustainability.

This will be humanity’s next great challenge: the transition to a new attitude toward all people. We will have to start by not doing to others what we would not like done to us, until we finally come to a state where we actually love one another, as fantastic as it may sound today.

This evolutionary change will happen regardless of our will. It is already underway. The only question is whether we will adjust to it without more blows that will make us painfully aware that we are all in this together.

Now is the time to open our eyes and learn to feel connected. Now is the time to teach ourselves a new thought paradigm—one that includes others, one that includes thinking more about the greater good, since everyone’s benefit is also my own.
