Understanding and managing
existence and development, socio-cultural, political, economic, scientific and
technological development, at the level of the natural conditions of existence. In a
differentiated, but integrated, connected and related way, in their essence, in depth and
detail, within the natural parameters, the boundaries and limits of existence set by
nature. Not just continuing on the same path, in an environmentally more friendly, less
harmful and destructive way. Understanding and managing the role and responsibility, in
our existence and development, that by nature are individually ours to understand and
manage, where we are in charge and in control, individually in the mind and mental
existence. Not trying to manage the role of nature, that lies beyond human control. Trying
to improve external conditions and the world around us, through managing, controlling,
rearranging and directing the natural environment, natural forces, processes and
development. Understanding and managing existence and development, demands and challenges,
problems and difficulties, within existing and changing external conditions. Not creating
the ideal external conditions, of an ordered, stable, secure and predictable world, of
easy material abundance.
The natural conditions of
existence and development. How, traditionally and today, we understand and manage
existence and development. Problematic results and consequences, human individual, social
and environmental problems and difficulties. The direction of the answers and solutions.
The direction we need to take in conceptual and mental development, individually and as a
species. The understanding, mental powers and abilities, mental skills and practices we
need to develop. To sustain an expanding global human population on the limited and finite
natural material resources base of the Earth, and not contribute further to the premature
demise, in the long term, of the human species at its own hands.
