SUMMARY
Nature and the Universe form a single, indivisible entity. The beings that constitute it are its offspring, endowed with all the inherent provisions needed for their survival and perpetuation. Yet, humans differ from all other beings due to their unique privilege of Free Will, an unrelenting drive for ever-deeper knowledge, but also the urge to indulge in base passions.
All natural and universal beings live according to their nature. They are free. The entropy they produce is absorbed by Nature itself within a framework of mutual solidarity and reciprocity among beings.
Humanity, however, stands apart from all other entities. Humans possess the privilege of ascending the Ladder of Knowledge, becoming freer and more noble, or descending it by indulging in baser passions, amassing wealth, and exerting power at the expense of many. The abuse of wealth and authority disrupts societal and natural balance, leading humanity toward decay. This imbalance diverts us from our natural path and brings about inevitable upheavals and vast, possibly existential, catastrophes.
INTRODUCTION
Indeterminate millennia have passed since humanity began inhabiting this small speck of Earth. Yet, it seems that only in this Mediterranean area, during the 5th, 4th, and 3rd centuries BCE, did a nova burst of light illuminate the world, marking the beginning of our understanding of it. Since then, an unquenchable, luminous script has become humanity’s heritage from the Greeks, extending across the globe. This nova burst also enlightened the Eastern peoples. For tens of thousands of years, only a few enlightened individuals shared in this communion. They understand that Ancient Greek Logos and the Wisdom of Eastern Nations remain unsurpassed to this day and are unlikely to be eclipsed.
The majority remain bound to ancient perceptions, derived from sensory experiences of their environment, and remain enslaved by forces that, since the dawn of history, have sought to subjugate them.
This uncritical acceptance of our enslavement, passed down from the darkness of history, has led humanity to consolidate his fear of the elements of nature and natural phenomena, until the invention of private gods and the deification of wealth and base passions, formed the unbreakable chains of his subjugation and self-destruction.
PURPOSE OF THIS ESSAY
Since the dawn of existence, Humanity has aligned itself behind the shadows of fear born of ignorance, instilling a sense of belonging to them, at any cost. For millennia, these shadows have shaped human thought, molding the modern slave.
A few enlightened individuals have attempted to understand the greater, unknown force. They expanded their knowledge and horizons, often paying with their lives under the persecution of oppressive inquisitors for their daring defiance. Yet, through their sacrifice, these few pioneers illuminated Truth, exposing their tyrants. Gradually, private gods lost their allure, becoming increasingly repellent and distant. Slowly, the dormant inner God, a luminous, universal, and cosmic force, awakened. The insatiable desire for ever-greater and deeper knowledge of the world and self, and for greater creation, continues to grow inevitably.
As our understanding of Natural and Cosmic Laws, as well as of ourselves, deepens, we become wiser, freer, less fearful, and more capable of dispelling these phantoms, further expanding our horizons. Yesterday’s local wanderer becomes today’s global traveler and seeker of the Infinite. Embracing its wonder and complexity, humanity strives for an ever-deeper understanding of it. There is an innate drive toward alignment with the timeless, spaceless, and supreme world, seeking to rise to higher levels of comprehension. Charged with fields of higher energy, we pursue Freedom, as our true nature commands. But this path is for the few.
The majority, blinded by the light, perfection, and supreme marvel of creation, distance themselves. They become the opposing force, occupying the post of the opposite Pole—that of evil, darkness, and the void—driven by their negative internal impulse. Yet, the imbalance between forces of good and evil is aggravated by humanity’s excess and the entropy generated from this unavoidable Battle, which cannot be absorbed by Nature’s provisions, leading to imbalance and destruction in human societies and the ecosystem.
INEVITABLE EVOLUTION
The forces of evil and our excess have squandered our inherent forces for good, diverting humanity’s natural inclination, turning it toward unrestrained hedonism and irrational accumulation of wealth, all for the pleasure and dominance of the few. This deviation destabilizes the balance and harmony among individuals, as well as society’s overall balance with Natural and Moral order. It strangles individual Free Will, and collective free consciousness, promoting ultimate disorder, rampant entropy, and an irreversible imbalance. The compatibility between Natural, Cosmic, and Human Order is disrupted, and as a result of this incompatibility, humanity surpasses the limits of natural and moral endurance, leading to inevitable catastrophic outcomes.
This evolution can only be reversed by humanity itself, through the reformation of collective consciousness, which must remain aligned with the laws of Nature, the Universe, and Moral Order. It must be charged with higher-order energy fields, seeking ever-greater degrees of Freedom for the greater whole. Every creative endeavor must be included within these parameters.
CONCLUSIONS
With these dynamics in mind, we can understand the evolving forces when humanity’s collective consciousness fails to maintain vigilance in order to shape the perpetual STRUGGLE between good and evil in favour of the common good. When one force dominates with the intent of destroying the other, imbalance ensues, equivalent to complete destruction.
In religious interpretations, the dual nature of the world is often understood through the lens of two opposing forces and the necessity to vanquish evil. Yet, such an approach, as noted, leads to inevitable and complete destruction. These religions do not envision the Salvation and glory of humanity but rather the defeat of the opponent. Only the collective consciousness of humanity within a framework of Direct Democracy can intervene as a stabilizing, regulatory, and Creative mechanism in the tendency of evolution.
The arts of Hephaestus and Athena, the political art of Zeus, Modesty, Ethical fear, and the Sense of Justicem the inner search for Eros in the face of a single, heterosexual Human being, and their ‘fusion’ into an undivided and indivisible Dipole, compose the Divine force that will propel Humanity above its base passions into the realm of Light. Igniting this force is our duty within the framework of our Free Will. The realization of this ingrained impulse occurs through the continuous and unobstructed succession of Homelands and Nations governed by the regimes of Direct Democracy. This political art will expel enslaving forces and unleash creative ones.
The organization of these Homelands into broader entities will multiply benefits for the common good, forging mutual understanding, solidarity, and reciprocity. Otherwise, humanity will build on sand, doomed to self-destruct and will continue to recycle until it acquire a conscious of its existence and its Freedom, thereby identifying with its nature and ascending to become a citizen in the realm of Light.
