The driving force and source of development of the person and his communities. Юрий Михайлович НизовцевЧитать онлайн книгу.
with newly received information, responsibility for the committed, the ability to make any decisions, even the most unprofitable and useless, which in fact is the most vivid manifestation of liberty of consciousness.
On this basis the person tries to set to himself the purposes, to solve various problems and to change thereby by means of the developed representations the surroundings. For example, this being is capable to build to itself the dwelling not according to the standard, but as it is pleasant to it more, thinking out new ways of supply of materials on the course of the construction, changing a palette of walls and a roof, bringing into the extent of his intelligence, these or other innovations, in contrast, for example, from the invariable standards of the anthill.
New projects and ideas develop the mind of a person, his insight, contribute to the most effective manifestation of various abilities during life, lead to the thought of beautifying life, that is, the culture of one's own beingness and beingness of the public.
In the person both these antagonistic in relation to himself and to the surrounding, hypostasis, are merged together. Therefore, they do not manifest themselves separately, but operate in a hidden way, and the degree of their domination depends on the degree of development in a person of the highest consciousness.
And the person himself often cannot predict what in the next moment will become predominant: love or hatred, anger or sympathy, sincerity or hypocrisy, timidity or courage, discretion or recklessness.
The lowest consciousness "feeds" only on the sensations that give it everything, including the harmony of existence, i.e. something acceptable and even pleasant in our understanding in a certain combination of feelings if, of course, to distract from fight of each being for survival. Therefore, it does not wish to lose the sensations at all.
Similar the type of consciousness has natural egocentrism, automatically seeking to survive, no matter what.
In the process of development of the living beings, this type of consciousness undergoes relatively minor changes, since it is not able to withdraw own basic property – an unconscious desire for survival, based on the primordial activity of any living thing.
The highest consciousness which is contained in the person at any level of its development is radical contrast to the lowest consciousness.
In the presence of the highest consciousness in the living being, it begins as though to see the light, becoming not so much "poured" in the environment, how many separated from it, and, so it acquires the opportunity to look at it and on oneself from the outside, to appreciate this ratio in attempts to consciously set to itself goals in mind certain shortcomings in one's own existence, which, in the opinion of this being, could be overcome, and to try to obtain implementation of goals in actions.
All this obviously drops out of an instinctive and reflex sphere of action of the lowest consciousness, and even begins to contradict it as the highest consciousness often neglects utilitarian reasons, chasing something to unattainable, but kind heart and mind.
Being separated in self-consciousness from the environment, this being, in the course of time, in its development in relationship with the beings, which are like him, begins to feel the need for new forms, different from the primitive communal relations of still wild people, completely absorbed in the struggle for survival. In mutual communication this creature reaches such a limit that its various conscious aspirations begin to pour into significant changes in the environment, and not just in its use.
From gathering, a person passes to cattle breeding, growing cereals, other forms of economic activity and the corresponding exchange of the labor products. Inequality, ownership, the struggle for the preservation and augmentation of property, for power and et cetera are arising, that in turn requires establishment of some institutions of order in order to avoid chaos – the local states in the bosom of a growing and improving civilization were being formed.
New forms and institutions, on the one hand, ensure the accelerated development of communities already in a structured form, that is, as the states with the bodies of governance, security, courts, etc., and on the other hand, do not allow to the states to fall apart because of the contradictions, invariably tearing-apart the last.
Despite a certain progress in development of human communities according to development of self-consciousness, the essence of human consciousness which is expressed in dualism, more precisely, in divergent life-aspirations of the lowest and highest form of consciousness does not disappear anywhere, and cannot be substantially modified.
Both these parties of consciousness continuously conflict both in the person, and in the interpersonal relations: discontent with, visible inability to change quickly, the felt limitation of intelligence, abilities, etc.; the envy and hatred to competitors instantly would rip to shreds any human community if not the state with its institutes.
Nevertheless, each person manifests also qualities of the highest consciousness which are expressed not only in the intellectual and production sphere, but also in inquisitiveness, various religious and cultural forms and also in the affectional relations, somehow: friendship, love, experiences for relatives, for the fatherland, etc.
If the relationship between people on the basis of self-awareness slowly but steadily develops, then the lowest consciousness in the person remains unchanged.
Therefore, the ideal persons do not appear, and the lowest consciousness, despite any form of its disguise, acts at any stage of the development of human consciousness, being expressed in deep-rooted egoism (egocentrism) – personal and corporate, hypocrisy (masking), suspiciousness (caution), contempt for people of other circle (mistrust to other communities), animal instincts concerning an opposite sex, etc.
Thus, the highest consciousness in the course of its growth begins to oppose itself to the lowest consciousness more and more effectively – the struggle between them just distinguishes the person from animals, being manifested at early stages of development is hardly noticeable, and then – all stronger and stronger.
In other words, the growth of self-awareness, or raising the level of the highest consciousness in the struggle with the lowest consciousness, gradually, but with an acceleration, expands the human sphere of activity, ensuring the permanent development both certain persons in their generations, and the development of their communities.
With the growth of self-awareness and, thus, the increase in the self-sufficiency of civilization, the action of the majority of the above-mentioned natural factors are increasingly leveled, which means that they really manifest themselves as necessary external, but not the fundamental to the human consciousness.
Consequently, the intensive development of communities of the living beings – previously barely noticeable, and the main contribution to which was made by mutations (random changes in the genome) – begins only with the appearance in them of self-consciousness, and accordingly – with its interaction with the lowest (animal) consciousness, which does not disappear anywhere from these living beings. This interaction is expressed practically in incessant fight of these consciousness forms, merged together, as they mostly have opposite aspirations, what it was in detail told above about, i.e. their interaction mainly is expressed in hostility (antagonism).
As an example, can result in the manifestation of the antagonism of the lowest and highest consciousness is not in the class struggle of the oppressed masses and bloodsuckers-oppressors, – in those and other dominate the lowest consciousness, thereby stimulating mainly the struggle for survival, but not for the development of the community, – and informal intellectual opposition and the ruling elite, that mostly represent the struggle between the highest and lowest consciousness.
The faceless people masses get the development in the struggle of their representatives in power and in the informal intellectual opposition to power. Informal intellectuals, pursuing mainly goals that are contrary to the goals of representatives of the power elite, are compelled to appeal to the people, proving own rightness and anti-popular character of the oppressor-elite, and this elite, in turn, should justify themselves and stigmatize of rotten visionaries-nonconformists who can only talking, but not control and rule.
Thereby, peoples are willy-nilly are being involved by energy of this struggle into forward motion, which can be and evolutionary at the consent of elite with informal
