2.3.1 This World and Beyond

To successfully make use of the opportunities of this world, you have to go along somebody’s wants, yours being free for it, or those of a target group in a job, or as an entrepreneur. In addition you have to provide the motivation for the targeted people to use your services and adequately compensate you for your work.

Thus depended on each other, the free market philosophy of this world promises the optimal satisfaction of the basic human needs 1) to grow with joy, and 2) to belong to a group of people with common values, goals and rules.

Associated with it is the fear to fail and/or be rejected. Thus the superficial money and seeming resource problems reduce to the problem of wrong and misunderstood attitudes to what matters, and thus gets too little meaning. Such thinking catastrophes lead to human catastrophes. The US-Presidents Dwight, and John F. Kennedy warned against secret or non-transparent agendas#1,2,0 in clear cut ways on YouTube....

The man-made world, is today mainly a knowledge work system wrapped around the financial system in itself a self-destructive trap, a fact which since the financial crises 08/09 is public knowledge. It reacts equally rejecting what is wrong, such as crime that resulted from an attitude of what preceded present morality, as to what transcends its closeness. It rather encapsulates itself in comfort zones. And all this all begins with putting wordy philosophy in the centre of publically organized science.

Thus in such pre-trans-traps the lessons from failures are not followed-up, and solutions relevant to real people's lifefulfillment are demeaned at all levels organized in a mere grow-joy-groupie spirit . In the above spirit about 8% of all people owe about as much as the remaining ones with all the environmental and social risks that entails. The signs are on all walls, mixed in with blood, and cries to heavens of the most of the approximately 100'000 million human lives which ever lived on earth, for being wasted, and now of the living spaces itself!

In short, the above worldly approach, as necessary as it may appear, is not sufficient for…???, lifefulfillment beyond social Darwinism, discussions via tongue, or other means, wars, trail and error, casino-capitalism, blind trust in destiny, anything goes, and other philosophies void of substance, and so on!

What is sufficient for lifefulfillment can only be found in the understanding of what urges us to fulfill, about, and with our personal life. In technology, it is to found in making the laws of nature operational.

Has our life a lesser quality than technology? Certainly not! But why do we try to manage it in a lesser way than it deserves? Because we want what seems more, outsmart the Creator of it all, so “anything goes” for us overstanding him in our minds. That has led to the above path of greed of the sorcerer’s apprentice! How can such a critical number of such sorcerer's apprentices be transformed in time to masters of his or her life- through task fulfillment, that is the question! Each person’s life contains a puzzle piece towards the answer! How can it be found? Who can do it? With which abilities and resources? Trust yourself to find the answer based on what you know and have experienced, and then try it out, understand the substance involved, and implement your insights.
