 THE PRINCIPLE IS GROUP

Among the countless traditions that our humanity practices blindly, as if there were no alternative, the most deep-rooted of all is selfishness, the blind belief that the principle of the Universe is individual, and that everything that exists and that is yet to be discovered must serve the purpose of perpetuating the concept that the individual is the principle of reality.

Well, there is little point in trying to argue about whether this tradition is mistaken or not, the fact is that, even though selfishness is a tradition that seemed eternal, nowadays it demonstrates its decadence, and the exasperation expressed by traditionalist minorities, who rise up and move all their power, in the name of good and their specific gods, trying to stop what, for now, is an idea, but which is the cradle of a new tradition, the group consciousness.

Group consciousness is different from herd consciousness, which is fed and preserved by the tradition of selfishness. Group consciousness is based on the inevitable interdependence in which we exist and the relative role we play in it, the interdependence of each other, of the same kingdom, and of our kingdom with all the other kingdoms of nature, visible and invisible.

And so we are, in gerund, inventing a new civilization, incidentally contradicting the traditionalists, who will continue to be exasperated, but who will not stop the purpose of our humanity acquiring confidence to live with itself and with the entire Universe.

Selfishness stimulates fear, and our humanity is exhausted by fear. Whoever bets on fear to try to obtain the results of the past, will come face to face with the spirit of the time which, in gerund, expresses a new wave of civilization, shaped on the group principle of the Universe.
