The humanity is destined to reach its perfection.

The perfection is the future of the man. Philosophy of history and human destiny

Facing so much violence and genocidal behaviors, the sensitive man imagines his world managed by the absurd and the chaos, the humanity unavoidably destined to his own disaster.

With this work, we try exactly to demonstrate the opposite. It is an explanation to make clearer the natural and inevitably attraction of our specie to its last step of perfection beyond the puerile aggressiveness of our primary feelings.

We were natural primates, we are builders men, we go towards the accomplished human being, here is the basic triptych on which is going to become established our theory.

Some people consider the existence of the big monkeys (gorillas, chimpanzees, Bonobos, orangutans) more enviable, in certain ways, than the human existence.

Our natural primate cousins seem effectively carefree, free, friendly, respectful of their environment, lacking in perversion and incapable to imagine the war. From his part, the man shows sometimes to be “wilder", more “bestial”, he is often very far from the Homo sapiens (the wise and reasonable man) that he affirms he is.

Because of this terrible side of the human being, some people consider the appearance of the man as an "accident", an "error of nature".

Philosophy of happiness and of love

Obviously, we do not share this point of view.

According to our theory, on the contrary, the way of life of our monkeys cousins are not so enviable. Subjected to the whims of their instincts, of the dominant, the predators and the climate, they are incapable to ask the question of the sense of their presence in the world.

The man, on the contrary, by leaving the realm of the nature, succeeded in exceeding these limits.

Our recent appearance in the big evolutionary chain of the life, has thus a first meaning: develop the alive out of the constraints of the nature.

But the new things brought by our specie to “the magic quest of the alive ", do not stop there.

They include much higher, much nobler and more spiritual contributions.

The evolution to the spiritual, the rapture

Actually, not only our specie improves its behavior, its environment and its questioning, but all this singular progress, according to our theory, guides the humanity to a particular purpose: the supreme wisdom, in other words " the bliss, the rapture ".

This evolution of our specie to "the absolute love" is difficult to recognize. The presence of the "evil" hides its subtle signs.

And nevertheless, to reach the good, the human being needs this opposite value. Therefore, until we succeed in turn ourselves into "the accomplished human being", the evil will certainly be necessary as a part of the elements of our evolution.

The necessity of the evil

This negative value results from the conflict between our desires to live some drives and the morality which condemns them.

Every single human being is composed of drives.

According to the main human values, some drives are considered as positive (it is the case of the love, the friendship, the mutual aid and the parental love) the others are considered as negative (desire of dominion, aggressive tendencies, predation, hoarding of the privilèges).

The humanity left the nature to go beyond many constraints. The humanity has to free itself from the necessities of its environment, from its own uncontrolled behavior, and resolve its questionings.

Control of the environment, the behavior and the questioning, are three tasks to be carried out by the man to reach his perfection.
The perfection we mean is a state of wisdom and awakening.

It is the holiness, the rapture, the nirvana, about which talks the Hinduism, the Buddhism, the Judaism, the Christianity, the Islam and most of the philosophers.

Why the human specie

When we were natural primates, our spirit lived out of time as we know it today. It was immersed in a sort of carefreeness and of immediacy that were identical to the attitude of the natural primates.

Gradually, our specie achieved the temporality and its neighboring powers: the faculty of intentionally plan ourselves to the past and to the future for example; or the faculty of accumulate knowledge and to pass on it; or the faculty of judge or own acts to learn how to control them.

All these news "abilities", opened us the access to the culture, to the civilization and to the progress.

Shaped by these cultural tools, some inflexible sides of our primativeness (aggressiveness, egocentricity, clannishness, dominion-submission) weaken for the benefit of more peaceful, creative, social and spiritual behaviors.

We think that eventually, the culture, the technique and the éducation, will succeed in liberate the man from the contingencies of the nature, from the aggressive drives and the fears resulting from the questions without answers.

In other words, the progress eventually should succeed in set the man free of all its agonies. When the environment, the questioning and the behavior will be controlled, the humanity will have reached the peace, the serenity and the carefreeness.

This state of peace, serenity, peace of mind, is well known by philosophers and mystics. It is expressed in different ways: bliss, nirvana, supreme happiness, ataraxia, enjoyment or rapture and it is considered as a state of full presence in the world, of immediate fullness. For the religion and for a large part of philosophers, it represents the highest level of the evolution of the spirit.

Such is the perfection to which the humanity is going, according to our theory.

Back at the immediate

We think that this perfection humanity is joining corresponds in an evolution to a state of psychic immediacy.

In other words, the spirit of the blissful, of the rapturous, is immersed into an absolute present. He is free from the "cultural time", from the clock used by the "ordinary" man to elaborate the world.

It would therefore be a question of a sort of return to the timeless of our natural previous history.

But there is a big difference between the psychic immediacy lived by the natural primate and the psychic immediacy lived by a man in raptures.

Definitely, between these two forms of immediacy, the humanity will have given up its aggressive drives, the dangers, the questionings and the ego. The reason is that all these psychic processes do not let our monkey cousin reach the bliss in spite of a spirit immersed in immediacy.
