Admitting Determinism
In the actual context of human organization, man can never admit individual determinism.
We have to go very slow, or else human organization will crumble; society, values, hierarchy, religions, ...since everything hinges on refuting determinism and holding man responsible for things he never chose.
Determinism will organize humanity in a different way, in fact in the only possible way, since it will be based on fact and not on some sort of inherited "truth".
Admitting individual determinism is the lacking ingredient that will lead to human maturity.
If man understands the scale at which he is individually determined, then humanity will be saved from all illusion and consequent irrelevant manners of self-organization.
Man will see clearly that he is better than this, better than whatever he thinks he is, better than whatever others say he is, better than whatever society says he is, and even better than whatever religion says he is. He is better than all that is thought and said about him, because each individual is the vessel in which life has stored a part of all the characteristics of life and humanity, to be kept, interacted with and transmitted, without asking him, and without consideration of good or bad, useful or useless, precious or common.
He will begin to see himself, his whole self; mankind.
This will make the person be aware of his own undeniable usefulness and importance for the whole species.
He will know that he matters, like every other person, even if he was always considered, even by himself, as being of insignificant worth in the scheme of things.
Every person, instead of being reduced to being the hero of only his own story, will realize that he, as a collective, is and always was the treasure of nature and of the universe, although he has been repeated the contrary all his life.
Everybody always under-estimates his real worth, and over-estimates his admitted worth.
Being individually determined to be what we are at any given period of our existence is not a bad thing, on the contrary.
Individual determinism makes sure that all qualities and characteristics are conserved till needed. And if we consider that the same characteristic or quality can have positive or negative manifestations, then we understand better the need to transmit all characteristics and qualities and eventually their evolutions.
Imagine everybody being able to choose his nature, nurture and eventually, his soul. Who will choose to have characteristics and qualities that will be useless and degrading in the period he will be living in, and waste his only life, just because all characteristics and qualities need to be conserved and transmitted, until the time they are needed again?
We, humanity as a whole, should see the relevance of individual determinism and do nothing to impede it, but only to impede its abuse that assigns value to characteristics or qualities according to their relevance in a particular time frame of human existence.
We need to see the whole picture, not get lost trying to compare, accuse or praise each and every cell, when cells need to be different to give complexity and adaptability to the body, which by being complex and adaptable through time, insures a better well-being for each cell. Each cell doing what it wants and multiply as it wants without consideration of the whole is called cancer and after a period of giving in to its own particular desires at the expense of the whole, will eventually destroy the whole and itself with it.
Maybe we cannot be compared to non-sentient cells, but the analogy holds. Realizing our common desires and working for them will transform humanity to a single body that will act with coherence, and allow all its constituents to be as efficient as possible for the whole, and the whole to be as efficient as possible to supply the constituents with what they need and want.
THIS IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE AN INVITATION TO A WORLD GOVERNMENT.
A world government is the final stage of the current existing system of organization, and will seal the fate of man.
World government should be avoided at all costs, and resisted actively.
Human organization should simply seize the chance to have all this variety and possibilities assured by "individual determinism", and put them to good use to achieve what we desire, since we are collectively determined to do what no other species is capable of doing;
EVERYTHING.
Everybody will start appreciating himself for his real worth, his random characteristics and his abstract mind, which even untrained or badly trained, uneducated or badly educated, forbidden to be used or misused, is the treasure of the cosmos which he will surely transmit to his descendants, who (hopefully) having on a planetary scale the right environment to have their abstract minds well trained, well-educated and well used, will be no different than the descendants of people who have marked their time by intellectual accomplishments.
You might have people in mind whom you cannot "see" as being useful for "this kind of thing"... Don't be fooled by your arrogance; their children may be better than your children for "this kind of thing".
Instead of seeing ourselves as the limited individuals that we are, or seeking power that will only confirm these individual limitations, we have to start looking at everybody as parts of the whole and individually containing characteristics or qualities that may save humanity someday.
Get used to having any characteristic or quality, even genius and "idiocy", always popping from unexpected places...
Welcome to humanity.
I read somewhere (in French) that intelligence results when nothing hinders intelligence.
I simply bow before the person who defined human intelligence in this magnificent manner.
What everybody feels about being more than what he is made to think he is, is the never acknowledged truth about ourselves, felt simultaneously by our entire species and reflected in our individual consciousness.
What makes man better, is the knowledge that he already is better. It is something that all of us "feel" instinctively, but are made to attribute that instinctive feeling to the sentiment of need for self-importance.
This inner certitude, common to all our species, of being more than what is admitted, can be the end result of out abstract mind subconsciously probing itself and the universe, and recognizing its unique capacity to have the awareness of the universe and especially the awareness of the existence of the laws governing it.
Only this recognition can lead to our inner awareness that with time and effort, we can understand all the laws governing the universe. We can be able to do anything, and finally find our unique place and role for our own species, life on our planet, and the universe.
This awareness leads to the subconscious frustration that we all have, since our conscious mind has been made to neglect our real strength and its domain of application, and is forced to be occupied with scarcity-related issues far benieth its category.
Is it an insignificant facts that we are the only creatures with an abstract mind having a factual link with the cosmos, and that given enough time can understand all of the universe's workings?
This fact about being the exceptional and unique part of the cosmos is the utmost fact about us... We all know it... can't this fact induce in the subconscious or unconscious part of our minds the felt "certitude" that we are much more than what we have long considered ourselves to be?
It is the absence of this "certitude" that would be unnatural and consequently be considered illogical.
We have every right to feel more than what we are admitted to be, because it is the ultimate fact about us.
Whatever happens, it remains and will always remain the only unshakable sentiment that endures in all of us, in spite of eons of pressure to admit the contrary, that is, to admit being "shadows and dust"...
Everything around us including our bodies might be dust, "stardust" to be exact, but something about us can reignite this stardust in a magnificent comprehension of everything there is.
Yes our bodies are the dust of light, but this dust can ignite and irradiate the most precious kind of light, the light of knowledge that will go faster and further than any light irradiating from any star that produced the "dust" that made us.
This is the ultimate fact about man, every man, whether he consciously knows it, admits it or neglects it.
So what, if we are individually determined to be like this or that, or like that or this, or like whatever, when we are collectively determined to deal in the most precious kind of light, using the most powerful tool and the rarest scarcity in the entire universe...
Our minds make us the living jewel of the universe, certainly not "shadows and dust"...
