Rising Above Irrationality And Instinct. by philoedu(m): 12:25pm On Jul 27, 2022
The so call multifarious aspects of the world is intertwined, that is not possible to stand apart and claim not to shares in its fabric in bad times and in good times. We are in just what one may call a period of return to the sources, no matter what is happening.. Often, we tend to wrap our body and mind, heart and soul around our presence called the almighty self. And we feel as individuals, which we are at a relative level. But in the absolute, we remain a part of the whole we cannot do without, each uniquely tailored to play its specific part in the arena of our individual life journey.

Of cause, we come a long way to a point that we must do the needful to reflect on our disconnectedness, due to our distraction, in order to counter the movement tending to the polarization that may lead to greater conflict in not too distance future . Therefore, no chance must be given to support the questioning of the long-held truth and much-loved certainties in the face of today's mighty challenge that tends to stare humanity in the face as never before. Make no mistake, this may be political upheaval, climate change, or personal trials, but life no doubt, is banging upon our consciousness on daily bases, in an attempt to awaken us to rise to the reality of our time. The process, no doubt, may look daunting and challenging and may take time, but it nevertheless demand an urgent response towards strive to honor each step to a birth of the deepest transformation shaped by the highest truth without feeling indifference.

In this same process, we may, make mistakes, to get our hands very dirty and in the dirtiness of the human realm, with wild emotions and crazy actions. But certainly, we may need to remove our mask of deception until we recognize ourselves, let alone anyone else knowing who we are. We are in a period of what I choose to call the “concept deconstruction” that requires everyone of us to begin to question what works and what does not work, almost like what takes place in the age of reason in the 16th century which demands authenticity in our evolutionary journey. This of cause, may offend in its honesty and passion, as it challenge the religious, political and social status quo of our time. The same is true, that we answer to no one, except our creator when it comes to the truth because it is its own arbiter as it leaves nothing to stand on its awake. The time has come for the most candid honesty to muster first and foremost with ourselves to move to the inward direction as to see where we have got it all wrong.

This transformation and freedom to carry out such assignment, did ask for enough courage to transcend any abstraction in adherence to the noble demand of the scripture, if a man is to have any value in the scheme of things. The meaningful life, or value, that does not come to depend on material possession only in other to survive, but taken cognizance of the sacredness of human life. The same is true, that in the avoidance, of misplacement of concept. As it were, to defy the inability to strike the balance between what, is ontological and logical and indeed, what is spiritual and material. It must be emphasized, though, that technological progress, does not force anyone to advance, instead, it is but the very requirement of organizing a society, because, any devaluation of human life in the process comes to destroy the very foundation of the basic established order of progress. History, in all intent and purpose, cannot be ignored, and cannot cease to exist, hence, such phrase- ‘ ethical standard and tradition, remain a word to guard and a word of honor, that must be preserved because it is an embodiment of both reconciling and condemning element, in what is wrong in any system.
The same is true, that the family as an institution, and the source of any society, must not only be preserved and promoted but also must be defended from any possible misrepresentation of its true value, hence, the need for a shift value to a new level of value system of concept reconstruction. Because what is injurious to the family is also injurious to any society as an institution. Echo, the very need not to lose sight of the tremendous effort demanded from everyone in combating any form of denigration of the value and dignity of the human person of which we all are stake holder or have a shear.
This must start from the very small privilege working companions that compete on daily bases to the very law that sometimes keep an entire group marginalized and often brutalized in the mix of opulence lifestyle in the nearby quarter. What looks like a period of societal paroxysms,(meaning a sudden expression of uncontrolled emotion), definitely demands that we must be prepared to come to terms with our individual reality and the reality of our time without fear or favors for the sake of posterity of doing away with any form of injustices and oppression.
The same is true, for the sake of equity and justice, without an attitude of dominance and disputes, in an atmosphere where no one is prepared to take the first step.
It is a known fact, that no scientific research has ever brought directly an expected great discovery, rather any discovery or solution often comes to be found where it is least expected. As it were, human problems often tend to resist some theoretical solution, which often can be found when everyone is willing to shear and no longer want to oppress one another. But it is imperative not to shear away from any sense of self-criticism and lack of fair play through introspection, of which any meaningful change can always take place. If there is to be any such meaningful charge, our inner world and the outer world must come to match, coupled with an insight into the transformation of life in our evolutionary effort for our collective survival.

This write-up is for those who may desire exclusively to achieve and grow individually without the concept of disconnection, both material and spiritual well-being of life. The kind of individual who is not content to simply exist for the sake of existence. But with the sense of what one may choose to call destiny whether they are aware or not, and indeed, of the inner awareness of eschatological fulfillment of which every human being is destined, despite the pain and suffering. Such that one is meant to be a part of that solution and not the problems, of which the task-oriented individual must strive and know there is a job to be done. The same is true that just living without developing the inner resource of the heart is but the highest form of selfishness and self-deceit. Because the lack of insight is but the neglect of the heart that gives attention to other fellow human beings.
