The Coronavirus — A Global Imbalance
By Sharon Pius March 24, 2020
The Coronavirus is a fascinating global phenomenon that manifested suddenly and spread throughout the world like wildfire. This virus became a global pandemic in under two months. And it’s not as if the world was in good shape prior to the appearance of this virus. We were already facing an onslaught of crises, and though science can aid us in discovering where it appeared, how it is spread, a vaccine (hopefully), all this does is help treat the symptoms. And this is what we must realize, is that the virus is only a symptom of the real illness. And if we don’t begin to treat it at its root, phenomena such as the coronavirus will continue to manifest in our physical world, except now it will continue with greater intensity and frequency, negatively impacting every aspect of life, until we treat the cause which is causing the imbalance.
The real sickness is the inability for human beings to develop correct relations between one another. We have never been more globally connected to each other as we are now, but we are connected in all the wrong ways: we look to exploit the other for personal gain, we need to feel that we are more, better than the other, instead of working in mutuality, in harmony to advance us all, we look to compete with the other and advance personally on behalf of the other. This is due to our evolving ego, the more it develops, to that extent, the imbalance we are causing will continue to manifest itself in our general nature, whether it be in the form of personal family and financial issues, health issues, a tsunami, the coronavirus, or worse.
A wise man once told me “everything begins at the head”, meaning that in this vast system of nature, the most evolved (complex) systems have the power to impact and influence the lower levels of nature. Human beings are considered the most evolved, the most complex, and therefore our actions, thoughts and intentions influence and have a very real effect within the entire surrounding nature since we are a part of it, connected to it.
We exist in a globalized, interconnected system. This is the general system of nature, we are included and comprised of its elements. Nature and all its elements, just like everything else over time, evolves. Our natural world, our physical universe developed from a tiny spark of energy devoid of any matter, and from there began the evolution of the universe. This natural development can be divided into four stages, and they are (from the simplest to the more complex): the still, the vegetative, the animal and the human stages of development.
Except for human beings, the creation of all other levels: animal, vegetative and still, exist in balance with nature and instinctually uphold nature’s laws. Their existence is intrinsic, they don’t possess the evil inclination which drives them to exploit others. However, they do receive nourishment from their surroundings, but this is not ego because the desire to exploit and do harm to others is nonexistent in them.
If we used our powers for good, by changing our attitude towards others and the entire general nature, and connect in order to fulfill the desire of the other, and the others would, in turn, do the same, then there would be no need for self-concern, all our needs would be taken care of by the others, and this would free up our time to do the same. This would restore the balance to nature. Instead, we use our ego to tear others down, we use it to gain power over others, destroy our land for profit, or even convince ourselves that our own worth is more important than another’s. The imbalance this is causing is becoming more and more apparent to everyone, and we can no longer ignore these symptoms of imbalance. We can all sense that this world, our reality is taking a very wrong turn.
Right our Wrongs
In order to restore balance to nature, humanity must be educated on nature’s laws. We need to develop a methodology of Integral education: a method based on nature’s laws which teach us how to correctly unite with each other in a mutual and agreeable manner. As a result of integral education, people will begin to act differently toward each other, they will fix the relations between them. And in doing so, they will be in balance with the vast surrounding nature. They will feel nature’s hidden systems, systems that run our lives, which control everything we perceive in this world. There is a reason and a purpose to everything which we don’t yet see or understand, but are able to, provided we all make the efforts to connect to all the others and abide by the conditions of nature’s laws.
I call out to all of humanity to take a part in this movement to build a connection, while we still have a choice.
