Thought exercise: what should be the characteristics of a “new and improved” human being? And can we pretend to become such humans right now?

[Mihaela]

A new and improved human must be a friend of Nature, to know Its laws and patterns, to understand his involvement in the unfolding of all Its events. It must be integrated both in itself and in the self of others, without having ego crises. He must be free and know how to love, know how to dissolve his boundaries and unite with the whole.

Some people are already like that, others have a good chance of quickly becoming like that in a favorable environment, but there are also those who still need to be educated.

I am at a loss. It seems futile to list a number of virtues. That’s been done long a go. Western society has to change to a more awake, humble one…

True altruism, guided by the corrected man

In my experience – recognition of the idea that we are all connected and essentially one being evolves each one into an improved version of the self.

We can never say that we are reformed human beings, because at any moment, in response to what is happening around us, our selfish nature may prevail, and if we think that the work of reform is over, it is a kind of narcissism.

[Jan Koons]

A new and improved human would be one that spends more time in nature and learns to love all.  Of course we can pretend to be such.
