Well-travelled, much discovered, much worked—I have spent 50 years exploring academic worlds, sometimes very thoroughly.
Over time, I uncovered and questioned many worlds more clearly. Today, I pose questions to the 8 billion people and challenge their quest for meaning. This topic, therefore, resonates deeply with me as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Zurich).
I always ask: Do you know why and for what purpose you are here on this Earth today?
So far, no one has ever provided me with a meaningful and reasonable answer. The 3,000-year-old religions, in fact, have become obsolete, and genuine alternatives remain rare.
The truth is, however, profoundly simple: Human beings grow from within, starting prenatally. Neglecting “nurturing,” therefore, stunts this inner development. From the age of 18, individuals must take responsibility for their inner lives. Throughout life, we bear the task of cultivating our inner being.
It seems, though, that humanity ignores this inner responsibility. From the age of 18 onwards, every person must grow inwardly. Indeed, humanity’s unfolding involves lifelong development through various phases. Therefore, each of us must assume and continuously nurture this responsibility.
We must all understand that our inner life always accompanies us. As we age, the accumulation of our lifetime’s past becomes unavoidable. Consequently, failing to periodically cleanse our lives builds up inner guilt.
Every person, however, has the opportunity to evolve and enrich themselves from within. Yet, the modern world revolves entirely around external life. Those who neglect their inner lives, as a result, risk accumulating severe guilt. A life focused solely outwardly ultimately leads to the impoverishment of the soul.
Throughout life, we receive countless impulses from within, urging us to unfold. Unfortunately, religions have failed humanity by subjugating and betraying it.
In other words, life offers endless opportunities to move forward, even in small steps. However, society discourages meditation, critical thinking, and questioning.
In short, humanity must grow from within and seize every chance to act rightly with ethical values.
