The humanity is destined to reach its perfection.

Evolution of humanity – Sense of the world

For more than a century, the big metaphysical questions seem to have left our main questioning. However, they did not disappear from the human mind. When the life places us, at a moment, out of the excitement of the world, the fundamental questions come back quickly and powerfully.

Does universe has a sense?
Does humanity has a sense?
Why am I in this world?
Do our existence and our actions have a sense?
Is there something divine in the world?
What happens after the death?

Even if the market tries to hide these spiritual questioning under a big veil of noise, stress and compulsion, hard labor and insistently pleasure,, these questions come back to our minds in our silences and when life slackens off.

Does world has a sense?

By watching TV and all the fears which are emitted by it, we can easily sink into a pessimistic vision of human evolution. It is easy to imagine our specie in decline and dedicated to its destruction.

But we can also reveal there a positive evolution, a constant and global development of the condition of man. It looks like a successive passage, from stage to stage, guiding our specie towards its peaceful union and its real perfection.

It is not humanity which is more and more nasty; it is our sensibility opposite evil which grows....

That is the point of view which we are going to support and develop here.

World values and sense of evil

Talking about positive evolution in this period of transition is difficult, especially after the human monstrousness of the 20th century.

It is difficult because it is necessary to agree, at the same time, with these 3 paradoxical suggestions: thinking of "evil ", justifying the necessity of its presence and considering its presence as a scandal that needs to be eradicated.

To leave this deadlock, it is necessary to consider "evil” as a supplementary element, in constant decline and which the only function is to develop "good".

We also have to accept the paradox of evil considered necessary for human construction, and at the same time superfluous, so it declines gradually until completely disappear.

Evil, torture

Let us observe the matter of torture for example.
It is an antique inhumanity still practiced nowadays. Television and Amnesty International reports are eloquent on this subject.

Therefore, to demonstrate the positive progress of humanity in spite of the presence of torture, it is necessary to be able to say:

1/ Humanity has not reached its threshold of perfection yet but it goes gradually towards this direction.
2/ during millenniums, torture was a systematic means to obtain confession or to take some pleasure. It was an institutionalized and usual practice.
3/Gradually, following the evolution of the consciousness, this horror was questioned. Philosophers, humanists, monks, fought for its disappearance. Thanks to this long work of humanization, torture was forbidden, at first by Sweden in 1734, then by Germany, Norway and Denmark and finally by France in 1789.
4/Today most of countries forbade this custom.
5/The inhumanity of torture was unequivocal for the humanity because it is the only big inhuman behavior to be explained in the international papers (even if some white collars executioners seem to look by all the means to restore it a legal motive or to minimize its importance).
6/Today, torture still exists, but it is forbidden. Practicing it or to giving orders to somebody else to do it, is punished by the law. Thus, that shows evolution.
7/Day after day, numerous human beings work on the disappearance of this sadistic perversion.
8/And finally, as the torture left human customs, its practice acts against itself. In fact, when fortunately, individuals reveal its presence, it engenders a real scandal at the level of the world opinions obliging the dominant to justify itself, to apologize.

So, even if the torture still exists in the 20th century, showing our real level of evolution and even if certain democracies divert the laws to practice it, its progressive decline cannot be questioned.

And it is valid for all the fields where evolution of the humanity takes place.

Ambiguity of market

There is something else that do net let us notice clearly the progress of the humanity towards the good.

It is the sensation of moral, social, human and spiritual decline that we feel since these last 30 years.

This decline exists, but it is occasional and it concerns only certain fields of evolution.
Humanity in its global nature continues its progress.

The necessary contesting

Quite as most of individuals, human corporations look in the contradictory groups, for the limits of their expansion. In other words, the presence of a consequent opposition is fundamental to avoid the problems engendered by all-powerful.

Liberalism considers himself all-powerful, its pride increases and also the risks of absolute dictatorship.

By corrupting gradually certain principles, by imposing the dominant values (egoism, aggressiveness, hoarding money, and narcissism) the movement of neo-liberalism explains the democracy decline. Indeed, democratic values require choosing people values (mutual aid, humility, equality, sharing, peace of mind), as values to be followed.

In a political doctrine which favors the dominant, the living conditions decline gradually towards those of our previous history, those of natural primates. We can verify it by observing the neo-liberalism of these last decades. That is why precariousness, aggressiveness, violence, sexuality without feeling, fear and unconsciousness are, like in the country, expanding since around thirty years.

Necessary decline of the values

If this decline of spiritual values towards bestiality and its drives, seems obvious, it is however occasional and partial.

It is the return for a more important evolution: the globalization.

The globalization is an obligatory step of humanity; it signs the rise of national towards universal.

The decline of certain human values is the direct consequence of the control of the way of spreading these values by the trade system.
The domination of market values is the consequence of the control of the globalization by the market.

This management is completely explainable; it joins in the big evolution of humanity towards its unification.
Indeed, if an American, a Chinese, a Russian, Japanese, an African, a European, an Oriental, can meet on common things, these must be neutral and transnational.

No religion, no political ideology, could gather this way the variety of the world around universal values and being convenient for all.

Only objects, fashion, music, cinema, tourism or industry, in other words what the market offers, can assemble the human majority today. Only the market can open the way to a worldwide and universal functioning and agree to develop its national and community practices towards new universal laws.

The universalization by the market is thus just one of the mechanisms of the expected world peace.

As a matter of fact, the globalization prepares the fusion of ideologies and spiritualities within a common and universal quintessence.

Market has to regulate itself

Nevertheless, this control of the globalization by the trade system begins to pose a real problem to all human beings.

It has a cost: the systematic marketing of all the pieces of society including the human being and his spirituality.

When the market dominates the spiritual field, it diverts naturally man from reflection and spirituality, because they have no market value. By flooding body and soul the human being in the material things, the market reduces the man to the simple state of consumer and merchandise.

When the market dominates the military field, it reduces the weapon to the rank of simple product of consumption. Thanks to it, weapons spread on the whole planet leading to the damage we know. The market can also influence wars just for its development.

When the market dominates the ecological field, its impulsiveness does not allow prevention instead of cure. It is then incapable to obtain in a short time enough money for the research in clean energies, obliging the humanity to repair incessantly its damages.

When the market dominates the political field, it uses this one for monopolizing new pieces of society. And so it took little by little the control of the media, with all the aberrations which we see there. Today, the market aims at the education, at prisons, at the research, at the medicine, etc.

When the market dominates the educational field, it guides gradually the education to the only disciplines which interest it: practical, mercantile disciplines - to conceive, to construct and to sell - are overestimated to the detriment of intellectual, artistic and spiritual disciplines. If it needs manpower, the market does not hesitate to question certain rights for the schooling to have young and submissive workers. On the other hand, when the merchant is over the educational field, it infiltrates gradually the school to sell its products and his advertisements there.

When the market dominates the cultural field, it quickly impoverishes the variety and the quality to reduce its production costs and increase its profits. In mass media, only some standard artists fill the cultural pages, shrinking the intellectual people space, its consciousness and its critical spirit.

When the market dominates the media, it ravages gradually the mission of the journalism. It transforms it into a simple instrument of propaganda and advertising. It converts television and press in vast shop window of objects to be bought. It disguises journalists and presenters as standardized and “benevolent" street vendors. It annihilates little by little the citizen debates, the cultural programs, the critical programs and the real vision of the world.

When the market dominates the justice, it is not any more afraid of deceiving his employees. It neglects the social experiences to increase its profits by paying fewer and fewer workers who have to work more and more to be given working and living conditions lower than those whom they enjoyed 30 years ago. Its omnipotence thus leads it inevitably to make the humanity return to the stage of the slavery.

Finally, when the market dominates the people, it looks for their impulses and their dependencies instead of wanting what is good for them. It constantly tries to sell always more merchandise to stimulate addictions, weaknesses, tendencies and perversions. Voyeurism, gambling, venality, overeroticization, overconsumption, narcissism, elitism, etc., keeps gradually the whole spirit busy.

This observation will sustain until the market is completely dominated and finds its natural place in the humanity, in other words the last one on the scale of the influences to society.

The market must be subordinated to these fields: spiritual, ecological, political, educational and cultural, to media and to people.

As you can see, this work is going to follow two very different purposes. On one side, we are going to think about the global and spiritual evolution of the humanity towards its perfection...

Of other one, we shall analyze the faults of our society, to open our consciousnesses and lead us to challenge ourselves.

What are the real values in progress concerning our specie? What are the sense and the purpose of our evolution? Here are some of the questions that it seems fundamental to ask today.
