Jon AltoParticipantYes. At the level of the Creator, it is our duty to build a sustainable society. Everything points toward a resource based economy, but the change doesn’t happen yet. Why? That would mean to strip away titles, proprieties and wealth. Many people will not do that, and will cling back into it even after they lost all of it.
We should then try to build a sustainable society beside the current one, so people naturally adopt the new one. Luckily we have the work of Jacques Fresco to guide us through that. Unfortunately, who really listen?

ChrissyParticipantOur natural egoistic drive often gravitates us towards self-interest, leading us to seek pleasure solely for ourselves which can harm others and the world we live in, in our selfish pursuit. Therefore just going with it, our ego can lead us astray driven by self-serving motives. We can transcend our current state of existence and attain a harmonious balance between egoism and altruism, by learning to harness our ego for the greater good. We can uplift not only ourselves but also humanity as a whole, recognizing the interconnection that binds us all. The teachings of Kabbalah illuminates this spiritual path, guiding us on how we can direct our ego towards selfless pursuits, thereby enhancing our society and deepening our connection with the Creator.

EwelinaParticipantWe need to learn how we can use our ego to develop ourselves on the spiritual path of light. There is only good, what exists and everything what happens to us we can and should use it for our growth.

Lu LuParticipantTurn off the TV and keep it off and allow nature to guide you. I think people are too dependant on what to think and not connect with the earth. I think this will help.

ParticipantI think that Nature gave us the ego so that we can use it positively in all states of life.
