Self-Empowerment

Self-empowerment begins with self-reflection. The question What is humanness? is obviously a part of any serious self-reflection. For Sigmund Freud and others, humans simply occupy a position on the evolutionary ladder, a position with more “gray matter” and therefore more inhibitory ability. Humankind’s marvelous brain was not only more sophisticated in terms of its ability to reason but more powerful in its ability to inhibit impulses. The latter is critical because, according to Freud, the unconscious is a seething cauldron of animalistic desires that have to be held in check. No higher self, per se, inhabited the unconscious or anything else about the human being. To the contrary, humans were beasts separated from other beasts chiefly by their ability to hide their beastliness and engage their intellect in unique ways.

Philosophers have long discussed humanness. In a day and age faced with so many possibilities and opportunities (or problems, to some), we might think that the basic tenets of what makes us different might again be a subject of great interest. It’s easy to be cynical from a historical perspective and agree with statements such as: “Mankind educates his children to become absurd and thus normal,” and “In the name of God, mankind has killed…” However, if we choose to become awake citizens, then settling for such forecasts is simply unacceptable.

The world changes one person at a time. I believe that within every human being is the capacity for such specialness that one day the question What does it mean to be human? will be as trite as trite can be, for the answer will be as obvious as obvious can be. Perhaps we’ll all learn to stay a little more in our right hemisphere. We may know more of “now” and the interchange of our collective energy and know a little less about the particulars that we use to set ourselves apart from everyone and everything else.

The bottom line for me is this: I believe in you! What’s more, I know that when each of us believes in the others, a fundamental shift will result. This is the big change that holds the promise of a world at peace.
