Patterns of Development

People develop themselves socially and fictitiously today as much as they desire, in the detriment of the rest of their skills, knowledge, and abilities, higher and lower. And this is why, currently, money, servitude, ignorance, unlimited pleasure, material life, vices, and trivial social values are desired the most, and they remain desirable for life, for you and for your children alike. With what consequences? What about the rest of your life values and abilities?

You certainly see consequences everywhere today, at all levels and in all domains. Yet if you had your own way, if you were ever given the choice to decide and determine your own development and developmental pattern throughout life, would you really follow the crowd to nowhere, while developing and decaying in an organized manner, or you would choose to develop in a more harmonious, personalized, meaningful, and fulfilling manner? And since your children tend to follow your own developmental pattern just as well, which one should it be?

Do you find society fair, along with all its rules and authorities? If you do, and if everything goes fine throughout life, this means that you are developed at the exact level of Society, along with everyone else. If you find yourself struggling continuously throughout life, then you might be underdeveloped, or you might be in the wrong developmental track. Yet if you find everyone around underdeveloped, along with their tight rules, predictable behavior, and superficial expectations, then you might be overdeveloped compared to Society, or you might expect more from yourself, from those around, from Society, and from life in general. The problem is not exactly why you are underdeveloped or overdeveloped throughout life, but why Society remains incapable to reach you in order to offer you the exact kind of development that you need, according to your genuine human nature, meaning, and fulfillment. And if you happen to find everybody having the same developmental problems as you do, then you might want to reconsider Society altogether. Yet I have a multitude of books throughout this series studying Society in its rigidity and partiality, while what we are more interested throughout this book is the human development itself within Society. More importantly, we are interested in the kind of development that Society offers, the kind of development that you seek, need, and deserve throughout life, and the manner in which it takes place. Because only when you manage to know all details regarding your own development, you are capable to conduct it in any manner.

The topic of this book is to study and understand everything about the human development in any pattern it may take place, how and why you develop, at what level, through what patterns, and with what consequences, in order for you to regain control of your own development throughout life, for you, for your family, for your friends, and for the entire society.
