Today we observe a very interesting phenomenon in the development of nature. For the first time in history, we are developing not blindly as before when our egoism was pushing us forward and forcing us to break through in all kinds of possible directions. We used to suddenly make some discovery in one area, in another one, in third one and thousands of people would engage into this, develop, and promote the produced goods one to another. This was the way of progress.

Suddenly there is a total standstill, as if for the first time we have to face the truth and figure out: What has happened, where have we come? Our children already do not take our example and seemingly they ask: Why did you give birth to us, what do we live for? But we ourselves cannot answer this question. We kept running and running constantly without a stop. Suddenly we have stopped and we are thinking: “But where should we run, what for, what is happening, where did we end up?”

We look around and become horrified. This is some dry, lifeless desert where there is nothing. And the most interesting is that what is required of us first and foremost is to understand and realize the state we have come to as a result of our entire history of development. Everyone has to recognize it and understand it; without it one will not be able to reach mutual participation with the others.

Some time ago this was the prerogative of the chosen few; a few scientists, politicians, sages, a king or some other ruler gave commands how to advance forward and established laws.

However, today we are beginning to reveal the law that has to be realized by every one of us. You cannot act differently; therefore, you need education. It is impossible to enforce this law by force, by issuing fines or imprisoning everyone who does not obey it.

It will not happen this way! A person is obliged to put his heart in the execution of it, in his connection with others. This is not a calculation of buy-sell: how much I give you and you give me. This is the uniqueness of the new state that many people write about, which reveals that there is some process beginning from scratch in our time that belongs to the different level of development.

This is called human development in which we are building a mutual system of connections between us,  the image of one unified human being. It is impossible for anyone to refuse to join it whether he lives on the other end of the world or in Manhattan or in Europe. We are obligated to deliver this to everyone. After all, if everyone depends on everyone, we have no choice.

First of all, it has to be a real transformation in the upbringing of children, the new generation. At least the next generation will start a new life, beautiful, balanced, filled with mutual participation, secure, and self-assured. No one will be selling drugs to a kid, no one will force him to sell his body or will not beat him up.

Look at what we have done to our children; they are a precise copy of ourselves. We are unable to do anything with ourselves and therefore we cannot save our children so they would grow to be different people. How can I demand my child to be different if I am myself the same?

Therefore, we look at our children and we see that we are losing them. They turn out even worse than we are. But in essence, they continue the same pattern. I cannot call them bad. If I am rolling down a slope then they are just rolling a bit ahead of me, since this is the next generation.

However, we have an opportunity to seriously understand this, to go through all stages of the inner revolution with the help of this course and switch to the new path because life is forcing us and not because some smart head invented it.

We have to check everything where we can get help from science, psychology, experience from our everyday life and see together how we can build a new world. After all, our unique course is intended exactly for this purpose.
