Aggression is present in all of us everyday life. You can see it at on every corner of the street, in social human behavior, in television, movies, history. Somehow, to be violent it is embedded in our nature. In time, we lived and evolved in a world full of violence, in a savage habitat where violence is the dominant characteristic: The gazelle is eating quietly some vegetation and the lion is hunting it to eat it to the dinner.

There is part in the human brain responsible for the aggressive behavior: the small brain which comes directly from the ancestral evolution. At the beginning, the brain was small and in time added new layers, the superior layers of the brain. The basic layers remained in its centre and are associated with the primitive instincts like: reproduction, defense, survival , eating. This is the place where the aggression behavior lies also. These instincts are literally written in the very basic structure of the brain and you can’t ignore them. They are written deep inside you. When someone is attacking you, your first reaction is to defend yourself against the attacker. This is the behavior you’ll have.

When we speak of these basic instincts the conscious mind is far away. In such a moment, you can’t have consciousness because you are living at a primarily level (defense). This is not existence where you are, this is survival.

Humanity has never been completely at a higher level of existence, only parts of it. Some developed nations have a wealth status although, and consequently, their people gained a higher state of consciousness. They don’t need no more to gain their existence by using the primordial instincts because they have all they need to survive and even more.

But in the developing countries like the most countries of Africa, the situation is very problematic. There are people which die because of starvation. Consciousness here does not have its place and the control is taken completely by the primary instincts of survival. Talking about ethics and morality here is a nonsense. Life itself is not moral for those people living at the limits of survival. They can do actions which are helping them to maintain their lives, no matter what these actions could be. Men, which are at the limits of survival are capable to do things for which they can’t be completely blamed.

There is emigration, ethnic conflicts, there is steeling, even killing,. Situated at the lower limit of their lives, primary instincts are fully present. Poverty is one of the main sources of all problems in our world. People from poor countries are committing actions against the people from developed countries. Terrorism is the answer that poor people are giving to the other people who live in good conditions. The acts of terrorism have appeared because of their hate for richer people and societies and also because those people, at some point, took advantage from the poor people.

There is no action without a reaction. This is a universal principle and it applies also in this case. Exploiting the poor people and taking advantage from them has a long but sure response. They will surely one day come against you and try to knock you out. They hate you and they’ll do anything to see you down. Because the wealth nations and citizens are well defended militarily, the organizations which are represented by the  interests of poor people have found a new way to react : the terrorism. The terrorism does not require extensive funds of money and people with these convictions are trained to do everything against the richer people. That is why these days we are living these threats.

We must help the developing countries to rich a standard of life which is better that it is now. We are not isolated ones from the others on this planet anymore, even if we are living in different places, cultures, habits and mentalities. The global communications and the globalization process moves us much more closer and the interactions are made in lots of ways. If we help a little the unlucky to attain a certain level of prosperity, we will contribute also to our stability because they will not be situated at the survival state where primary instincts are situated.

Morality, ethics and consciousness reside at a higher level of existence where all the people from this world must be. But to accomplish this, major differences between people must be passed. It’s not about communism and living all the same life, having the same culture. Globalization does not means that we all need to be the same. It’s about having common ideas about life, having the same purposes and to share the same space where we live: the Earth. We must acknowledge all of us that everything we do has a consequence even if this is not immediately seen. For this, a level of understanding and comprehension is needed.

Life is a circle. You can be very rich but you can’t not enjoy life even if you have all the reasons. You can be poor and be happier. It’s an equilibrium. Life is taking your energy equally. If you have a lots of money and you don’t have the capacity to live free, you’ll be the slave of your money. Your entire energy will be taken by the money and you’ll not have the capacity to enjoy the most simple and beautiful things. Life is us and near you, peace is within us. Humanity must pass this obstacle that represents the surpassing of primary instincts and go further to another stage of evolution. This must be a dream, an ideal, but think that without a common ideal of the humanity, humans by themselves don’t have the power to move further into existence. A collaborative effort must be done by all of us.

There’re lots of things yet to be said. The entire world depends of us. Everyone of us must be aware of its own actions. Living quietly is not so difficult after all if you take things quietly. Having peace is the natural result of wealth of every human on this planet. And this is not be only a possibility, this must be a certainty.

Every structure, every system, everything that exists needs a space where to reside. The space make possible for things to exist inside them. We are not talking only about the physical space. We rather consider all kinds o space: it could be informational space like the one on a hard disk, it could be interior space in a human or other form of space.

All things in this world are build because space exists. All things work and are functioning in this Universe because time exists. Space and time are the foundations of any kind of Universe. But they are only the first 4 Dimensions of it. Which are the next ?

Let’s refer for now to the human, inner space. Do you think we have an inner space, an inner world ?

Well, of course there is. Let me argue that.

Firstly, we have the physical body which function in relation to the Physical Universe. Information is stored in there on the cells and in all human body. The cells are structured in tissues forming organs which together form an entire organism, a living organism.

There is a concentration inside any organism of cells specialized in storing and transmitting essential information: the nervous system. The nervous system has a central part which is in charge with every change: the brain. The brain is a very high concentration of neuronal cells interconnected and developed to assure specific capabilities to that organism. For example, the part of the brain of a dog responsible for the smell sense is more developed that the part brain smell sense of a the human.

Going on, the brain gains more and more intelligence as we go upwards on the evolution scale. As we go further and further on the evolution scale, we remark that the intelligence becomes more and more evolved. Humans are the most evolved specie from the animal reign. Their intelligence is more evolved, but we are not talking about the intelligence referring to do complicated calculations, the superior brain. We talk about the inferior brain which is responsible for the functions of the body. The small brain.

Besides the small brain, the organisms, specifically the humans have emotions. Emotions are the direct result of sensorial feelings like vision, hearing, taste, touch and smell but in a complex correlation with the brain. You a sensation from your preceptors and give an inner feeling. But, the emotions are also related to the capacity of the human to evaluate specific life situations. In contact with other things, other beings, other organisms the human body and human brain also have a certain feeling which is identified at the brain level. Feelings are just sensations and they are primary to thoughts. They are called instincts.

But a specific thought can also generate a specific feeling. They are interconnected together. When a situation occurs the first thing we remark is the feeling. Then, based on that feeling the brain can generate specific thoughts. At this point a cascade of feelings and thoughts can occur over and over again. Sometimes they just can’t stop. They are coming and coming because they generate each other: emotions and feelings are like electric and magnetic waves which generate the electromagnetic wave. They generate each other.

At a superior level we have the superior part of the brain. They address the logical and rational thinking, the concepts, the reasoning, the understanding, and complex processes related to the process of thinking. In other ways, the superior part of the brain gives the knowledge, the social relations, the creativity, the power to combine different information and deduce others.

Above the superior intelligence we have the psychic. The psychic has the role of controller of the intelligence processes. It’s like a sort of supervisor which verifies all the time the state of the actions taken by the intelligence. The psychic is very very complex and it is formed in time. It is in relation with the intelligence and emotions but the psychic can control them if is sufficiently developed. A weak psychic will lead to be driven by the powers of the emotions and intelligence. In this case the psychic is no more a controller, it’s a worker, a slave. If you let your psychic to become a slave you are condemned to a life full of unpleasant things, an unhappy life and it will influence even your way of action.

But if you develop your psychic and you take care of it by putting always before feelings and intelligence, you will be a success. Psychic can control, diminish, evaluate, stop, begin actions that are taken by the mind. If you neglect him, you will be lost in contradictory feelings and thoughts that will driven your entire life.

And, finally above all these, meaning above physical, basic brain, feelings, superior thinking and psychic it’s the spirit. The spirit is the result of all the enumerated constituents. This is where consciousness appears. In fact, all these are forming a new system, a new entity which will have an entire Universe within it. Consciousness, the soul or the spirit are just other words for the same thing : AN ENTITY.

An entity is an entire system, a Universe that’s functioning independently. Well, not so independently because it depends of the external factors to exist. Energy changes taken at physical levels. You need food to sustain the physical body. the primary neuronal system or base brain needs energy to function and to sustain the base processes of the organs. The emotional part needs stimulus in order to exist and sustain the body to function. If the emotional factor disappear we have an organism which does not make actions. So we can’t have an organism without emotions and feelings, unless it is a dead one. Superior intelligence needs stimulus for the mind to work. And the psychic enters in action always when emotional and intelligence factor is present. It can’t exist in their absence. So there are very complex processes which are forming an entire world, an Universe, an Entity.
