When one considers society’s success equal to one’s own success, it provides correct motivation for everyone.
Our success is motivated and measured by others—we are constantly working to fulfill the goals of our society.
We are usually unaware of this dynamic and attribute all of our accomplishments to ourselves.
Our individual perception isolates us from one another—we are not aware of how we affect the entire system. At the global level, this creates crisis in all realms of life, threatening the very survival of the whole. We must change our perception to consider the success of society to be equal to our own.
This change in perception provides the correct motivation for all individuals, and the survival and prosperity of the whole.
This is the law of success.
We are entering a system in which we are all cogwheels, i.e. we are beginning to make contact with each other.
Our entire world is mutually connected just like cogwheels in a system; none of the cogwheels can turn independently without turning all the other wheels and being turned by them. It’s just like two clutch discs when they touch each other.
The law of development operates in this mechanism. First, the clutch pedal is pressed and the connection between them is still weak–at this point we don’t disturb but rather help one another by spinning but not feeling that we are connected.
With time, cogwheels become more closely connected i.e., the clutch pedal is released and the discs get progressively closer to one another, until they are very tightly connected. This is how all of humanity develops towards mutual cooperation: countries establish connections, international commerce and industry flourish, societies change, the number of different professions grow, and people are becoming increasingly interdependent until they are totally interdependent.
The integral system possesses a remarkable property we can’t comprehend: everyone is just as vital in it as the whole.
