Psychological Unity

PSYCHOLOGICAL UNITY

written by 

Brij Sachdeva

The human body consists of nearly fifty trillion cells. It is nothing but an organic unity of fifty trillion cells. In this organic unity, all the cells are in a relationship with one another. They work for one another and have affinities and attachments. There is a great relationship between the roots of a plant and the surrounding soil. Roots draw water and minerals from the surrounding soil and in exchange, they give strength, vitality, fertility and much more to the soil. It is a kind of love affair. Similarly, when two or more human beings establish a relationship and start working together, it becomes a psychological unity.

 

All the nations, religions, communities and organisations are psychological unities.

This seems to be the law of existence. This seems to be the nature of the things. Electrons, protons and neutrons combine to become atoms. Atoms combine to become molecules. Molecules combine to become compounds and minerals. Minerals combine to become human cells. Human cells combine to become human beings. Human beings combine to become families, communities, religions, organizations and nations.

Political Psychological Unity

One billion people combine in a relationship to form a psychological unity called a nation and put all their collective power into a book of rules called the Constitution. Now they can live and die for it because it gives them security, a system and a subsidy. A nation is a political kind of psychological unity. All the citizens of a nation behave as a unique entity. There collective mind is governed by their sense of belonging to their nation. The strength of a nation depends on the sense of belonging amongst its citizens.

Religious Psychological Unity

People belonging to a particular religion behave as a unique religious entity. There collective mind is governed by the commandments mentioned in their religious scriptures but largely on the preachings and the interpretations presented to the people by the preachers of that religion. A significant number of religious scriptures are composed in poetic form. In poetry there is every possibility that the interpreters may convey  the meaning which is influenced by their confirmation bias.

To be concluded ….

Regional Psychological Unity

Individuals residing in a specific region exhibit unique characteristics in their behaviours, inclinations, preferences, and priorities.

Ideological Psychological Unity

Throughout human history, various ideological narratives have emerged, significantly influencing large populations and profoundly shaping their behaviors. This phenomenon can result in individuals adopting a collective mindset, functioning as a unified entity. For example, left-wing and right-wing ideologies have split  the world into two distinct psychological unities. In fact these two ideologies have become global power centres. 

As far as my vision is concerned, there is every possibility that all the human beings living on this earth are going to combine as the greatest psychological unity by putting all their collective power into one greatest entity known as AGI, ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE, which I prefer to call 'THE ARTIFICIAL GOD'.
