The laws of nature are immutable. However, we lack knowledge of the laws that are related to the human level of development. We somehow understand child development, but in general, the progress of humanity presents us with surprises all the time. The best example is how we are suddenly discovering that we are all dependent on one another, that what happens in one country affects everyone else.
The integral education explains the law of the common body, the common family, and how we can advance harmonously together toward a better future. Understanding the forces operating on our world that help us build better relationships between ourselves is the only way to reach harmony with Nature. In this Nature gives us freedom to grow independently. But if we do not do this, then we will feel the new stage in the form of blows: the crisis, war, natural disasters.

A few days ago, I spoke to my longtime student and friend Leonid Makaron. He reminded me that soon after the turn of the century, I told him that America was on the decline. It wasn’t so obvious then, but…
Not long ago, a comment on one of my posts stated that adapting society to the harmonious and integral nature we live in is impractical. At the moment, it is indeed impractical since people see no reason to be harmonious…
We like to think that we are masters of our own lives, but are we really? If we had our way, would we have asked for the coronavirus to derail our lives from their carefully planned routes? Would we have…
Public discourse now speaks of a second wave of COVID-19 when the first one is far from over. Just when we thought the epidemic was under control, the opening of the economy has brought new contagion outbreaks around the world.…
There used to be liftmen who would press the right button for you. And before there were refrigerators, there were icemen who would cut large blocks of ice and deliver them to customers. The world of work is in constant…
If we thought that the pandemic was under control, the time has come to think again. The second wave of the coronavirus is already being widely discussed, even though the first wave never really stopped. The economy’s reopening has helped…
The global economy needs an intensive care unit. And just as no medicine is yet available to prevent or tackle the spread of the coronavirus, no cure for the precarious health of businesses and industries is at hand either. Soaring…
