The Crisis of Identity in Our Society

It’s been three and a half years since I posted “A New Earth” on the blog of Translator srl , guided by E. Tolle’s book of the same name.
The post began with “This may be one of humanity’s most beneficial moments, one of humanity’s most important opportunities.” and ended with
“We need non-competitive education, education in the spirit of understanding the natural processes of life, … we need “Education of Consciousness”.
This, rather than flying to other planets, is the most important task, the noblest “work” of every human on this planet. Everything else will come by itself.
We have been given our mind… we have an obligation to educate it.”.

That piece of writing carried along my limitations back then, but it was most certainly forward-looking, beyond the linguistic structure dictated by the context.
Today I would say, “We have the mind…we have the Choice to educate it, so that we can see the World, Life, the Universe, as they are, balanced in meaning and manifestation.”

What has brought clarity to this anticipation of mine and to the way I see and perceive life has been the realization that we are in an evolutionary stage that brings along a profound identity crisis, as natural as it is challenging.
An identity crisis explained by a crisis of personality, of personas or masks with which the mind of the human being identifies and which each of us has constructed for ourselves at various stages of life.
A crisis of identity or of personal and therefore social identification, the effects of which are increasingly visible in all areas of human life.

From the traditional family structure, following the pattern of the old identity, to all the other aspects in which Humanity has structured its life in its material form – Education, Food, Health, Economics, Politics, Justice, social, community or housing structures, Spirituality, all are evolutionarily challenged to change.
A change that part of the human mind cannot easily understand and accept, although change is the only constant in life.
That part of the mind that naturally wants to be safe, but becomes a hindrance and a sure path to atrophy and decay, even physical decay, when the #main focus is directed that way.

This is such a vast and complex topic, much like the human mind, and yet it can be as simple as Life itself in its evolutionary choice.

This text targets 2 main aspects:
On the one hand it is meant to clarify and somehow simplify our understanding of the misunderstandings that “confuse” us, shedding light on the very nature of the stage we are all in.
So much so since society is the likeness of its cell.
On the other hand, it paves the way to solutions that make this evolutionary stage easier to run.
If we manage to see, to observe the process more clearly, Supporting it becomes aligned with the natural flow of Life.

One-the primary unit, the point, the target, the attention, the focus.
Where I look, where my attention is, where my reality is, that’s what I create. I materialize with intention enhanced by focus.
It’s what Quantum Physics has brought us in terms of understanding over the last 70 years.
Translated into day-to-day life, as long as the focus of the human being has been on meeting “basic needs”, conceptually known, in a much larger sense, thanks to A. Maslow’s pyramid, then the solutions and structures defined and created by man have also been a result of the chosen target. Consciously and mostly unconsciously.
Fair and useful from the moment man entered the first cave for shelter until the “basic needs” were met.
It was, undoubtedly, a successful endeavor.

The human being and, as a result, the human mind faces the imperative need to move forward, however, not just anyway, but consciously in terms of meaning, action and choice.
In all material and immaterial aspects.

The crisis itself is the very lack of Life-aligned focus.

This being settled, we can identify sustainable “solutions” to this evolutionary step.
Two-the seeming separation, the searching, the evolutionary push, the bouncing between one and more than one, the answers that come with the illusion of a debate between “good” and “bad”, all the way up to the Three that settles it all.
About “solutions”, a specificity of my inner structure and the possible opening of one of the paths, in a later post.
…just one of the paths, the path that forces you to face the world with integrity.
