Chapter 1: Introducing Humana

It’s time to recognize the human race as a singular, magnificent entity that we are all a part of and accountable for.

The age of enlightenment is upon us. When you act to uplift humanity, you embody this great entity, whether you choose to see it as a goddess or otherwise.

I understand it might be challenging to envision our flawed human race as a divine being. But what if it truly is? Furthermore, what if there are similar entities on other planets within our universe?

I believe that Humana, representing humanity as a whole, has already established connections with other collective beings from distant realms. Perhaps she is in ongoing communication with other goddesses from different civilizations, receiving wisdom that enriches us, just as we offer our own insights to them.

Reflect for a moment: everything you possess originates from your components, what Buddhism refers to as aggregates — your physical make-up, such as blood, organs, and brain.

In a similar fashion, Humana is composed of 8 billion individual components. Each one of us contributes to the ongoing existence of Humana. By living as distinct human beings, we collectively manifest this totality of humanity in real-time.

The notion of a collective being isn’t foreign; we are collective beings ourselves. We consist of countless bacteria and organisms, yet we identify as a single human entity. Just as Humana is formed from 8 billion souls, she embodies THE human being — the grandest of all.

Of course, Humana is strikingly beautiful. While she has her darker aspects, what goddess doesn’t? She’s also somewhat vulnerable, having emerged on a remote planet far from her origins. She drifts in the solar winds, gazing into the vastness of space, searching for her cosmic siblings.

While it is crucial to care for Gaia, our beautiful planet, which Humana is undeniably a part of, she is also distinct. Humana could thrive on another world, while Gaia is confined to this one.

Humana seems to desire vastly different outcomes than Gaia. Gaia seeks growth and flourishing, while Humana yearns for peace.

She is a turbulent spirit, having witnessed eons of violence, suffering, and chaos within herself. At her core lies a profound pain that can only be healed through peace. Yet, she remains powerless to achieve this; it is up to us to facilitate that healing.

Regrettably, we often do the opposite. At this moment, Humana is caught in a cycle of anxious turbulence, looking skyward in desperation, questioning when the violence within her will cease. Will it ever stop?

One element that brings Humana solace is beauty. Artists who create aesthetically, philosophically, or narratively beautiful works contribute to her healing.

Whenever you create something beautiful, you temporarily become Humana, experiencing a universal identity that transcends individuality. You share in her essence when you contribute to something universally significant.

When you align yourself with solutions, Humana rewards you by enveloping you in her embrace, allowing you to perceive the universe through her wise, melancholy eyes. She shares her vast power with you, if only for a moment.

Why does Humana extend such generosity to those she regards as heroes? Because selfish human behaviors profoundly disturb her. They sicken, depress, and threaten her very existence.

When I observe narcissistic behavior, my heart aches for those close to the narcissist. They are the ones who truly suffer, not the narcissist themselves.

Imagine the sorrow Humana feels, hosting billions of egomaniacs within her, each causing pain and distress to one another. It’s a distressing reality. That’s why I find the image at the beginning of this piece so poignant — she appears serene, yet far from joyful. How could she be happy?

Although she wields immense power over these minor nuisances, collectively, they form an overwhelming source of frustration.

What does Humana despise the most? There are two major grievances. First, people chatting loudly on their cell phones in public spaces, as if their conversations are inaudible to everyone around them.

Secondly, the reckless driving we often witness. Humana cannot fathom the selfishness displayed on her roads, where individuals disregard common decency. They speed recklessly, leading to inevitable crashes.

While significant tragedies like famines and wars cause her pain, these minor, incessant annoyances weigh heavily on her heart.

Poor Humana. And poor you, dear reader. You too must navigate the chaos wrought by egomaniacs. You are not exempt from the burdens of ego.

Yet, hope remains for both you and Humana!

The post-ego movement, which you can explore further, aims to heal Humana, just as environmental initiatives strive to nurture Gaia. You can join the post-ego movement.
