A renewed system

June 5, 2021 Recently, there has been repeated mention of the need to express that the current system is unsustainable and that a new one is required. Okay, okay, but what exactly do we mean by "system," and what should the new system look like? When someone refers to a system, they may be referring to it in general or to specific areas: social, legal, political, educational, healthcare, etc. Criticisms generally concern the unsustainability and the need for renewal of these systems and structures, both individually and as a whole. This is not a new demand. If I take my field of research, environmental regulation, as an example, for years now, every researcher has been pointing out the inadequacy and unsustainability of the current regulations. In fact, I can state that there is a scientific consensus that systemic change is needed everywhere on Earth. Therefore, this demand has long been articulated by the scientific community. The difference now is that these messages, which once had a minimal emotional charge, are now being recognized not just in the relatively isolated realm of science, but in everyday life. People are not drawing these conclusions from articles, studies, or statistics, but simply based on the fact that they feel something is wrong, that things are not moving in the right direction, and many are now openly stating that this is not acceptable. However, in many cases, these messages carry strong emotional weight, which can confuse many people. Under such circumstances, it is easy for us to become so distracted by the pain of our current situation that we forget to articulate what we actually want. Many already sense what they do not want, but perhaps they do not yet know what they actually do want. We can achieve meaningful change if we not act against something, but for something, both individually and collectively. I am working for a future in which we accept that, alongside our earthly identity, we are also transcendent beings, part of the Supreme Transcendent Being. That is, we have both earthly and spiritual needs, and we take both into account. We live and experience that we are all deeply interconnected beneath the surface: humans, animals, and plants alike. We are capable of thinking with our hearts and feeling with our minds, living in harmony between heart and intellect. Since we educate ourselves and our children in this way, shaping our culture so that this is not just a theory but a living practice, we experience that we are able to live together in inner and outer peace, freedom, mutual respect, and love, both with ourselves and with others. We shape our human culture and systems, in harmony with nature, to support the realization of this deep truth.
