生物革命

While learning to recognize emotional patterns from childhood, emotional traditions of our family and their consequences, and how to heal and change them, it’s important not to ignore biological aspects of our everyday behaviour.

如果没有意识到我们的生物遗产在敦促我们做什么，我们就会 合理化 such urges, finding ways to follow them in spite of the ideals we claim to cherish. Practically every system in history, based on new, humanistic ideals, failed or was quickly corrupted because of such behavior: religions, communism, democracy, New Age … all of those systems gained followers because they promoted promising, progressive ideals, and then became a 操纵和权力斗争的背景因为他们的追随者接受支配性、侵略性个人的领导。如果不了解和认识这些过程，人类社会就会继续产生和追随自私自利、不择手段的领导者，而不管他们公开宣称的理想是什么。

Humanity, just as all the other species, was developing for millions of years in an environment in which the most important, but difficult task, was to survive and reproduce as much as possible. From a purely biological point of view, everything else was not important. It’s actually impressive to see how many people have 前已提出 仅仅通过教育和宣传，我们就能改变这种心态。然而，我们仍有许多工作要做。

进化背景

自然平衡需要捕食者的存在 它们将限制可用资源的耗竭。捕食者的存在要求每个物种和个体都必须为确保尽可能多的健康和有能力的后代而战。这就导致 你争我夺 to prove oneself, not just among individuals, but among communities, tribes and nations. On one hand, this enabled the development of whatever consciousness, intelligence and creativity we experience now, and on the other hand, it’s currently causing short-sighted waste of resources and lack of concern for the future, that might cause our (almost) extinction as a species. I don’t plan to proceed with misanthropic criticism of human nature – any other animal developed in same circumstances, i.e., on Earth, would probably act the same if it had our level of intelligence and technological development.

竞争和争权夺利的冲动，为成功繁衍后代而吸引尽可能多的优质性伴侣的冲动，在社会中根深蒂固，在每一个步骤中都可见一斑。 愈演愈烈，愈演愈烈, as those less extreme and less manipulative become common and thus not enough to distinguish oneself. It’s similar with 选择冲动、好斗和自信的领导者正如历史上大多数人类社区所选择的那样，这样才能与邻近社区竞争。但在过去，当我们需要专注于繁衍才能作为一个物种生存下去时，这种方法是行得通的，但现在，当我们所有人的生存都取决于我们是否有能力向前思考，是否有能力 深谋远虑 和合作。囤积财富是不可持续的，再加上人口过剩和缺乏生态意识，会导致大规模战争和饥饿，因为我们的资源会一个接一个地耗尽。

未来的革命

我们需要实现的真正革命是 主要不是社会性的，而是生物性的 – to stop choosing sexual partners and political leaders based on their ability to hoard wealth and dominate, and start choosing them based on their ability to cooperate, empathize and be responsible. If we don’t make that change quickly by ourselves, we will be forced to do so through global painful experiences.

这意味着我们要面对和处理自己的冲动。一些科学家推测，即使是我们的推理和提问能力，也不是作为个人和团体进步的工具发展起来的，而是作为一种争夺统治权和权威的方式发展起来的。这一点在论坛讨论中表现得淋漓尽致，几乎任何话题，无论多么善意，都可能很快演变成一场权力斗争。我也推荐这篇有趣的文章： 5 个逻辑谬误让你错得比你想象的更多.

创造平衡

有时，几乎可以这样说，人类的进化需要一部分人具有暴力性和剥削性，这样，其他人就可以通过学习识别不同类型的暴力和操纵并加以应对来实现进化。归根结底，似乎是 进化推动我们发展意识与合作其中，当前的世界局势似乎是关键时刻之一。即使进化是以自私的竞争原则为基础的，但它最终迫使我们发展出无私与合作，这是在看似消极和相对积极之间的一种令人印象深刻的博弈。

不同的精神修炼方法大多忽略了这一信息，并用邪恶或自我的观念来解释自私，而根据这些哲学，邪恶或自我是可以而且必须通过精神发展来消除或控制的。但是，它常常被扭曲为 压抑而不是意识他们不是在控制而不是理解，不是自我憎恨就是虚伪，而不是找到一种健康的平衡。

你无法消除自私的生理冲动，但一旦你解决了自己的情感模式和不成熟的信念，你就可以更容易地处理它们。根据我的经验 被压抑的童真情感比生物性情感更强烈，影响也更大 本身。我们的生物会如何表达自己，主要受我们在童年学到的东西的影响（我们可以不学这些东西）。一个在健康、平衡的家庭中长大、情绪健康的人，他或她的生物冲动不会有太多问题，并会想方设法把它们引导到一些有建设性的事情上。一些人类社会成功地创造了 和平、合作与宽容的社会.如果我们开始在仁慈中竞争，在宽容中证明自己，那会怎样？

因此，你越 解决源自童年的自我憎恨和自我贬低问题, the less you will feel the need to fight for power and be selfish. You will be able to think: “Ah, that’s just biology” and direct it into something constructive. You will be able to recognize the urge to follow (or love) someone who appears powerful and dominant, and understand that it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are competent and emotionally healthy. You will be able to find fulfillment within, instead of outside. Teach your children about all of it too – that is most important.
