Concept Homodicea - Justification of Human

"To present idea of Homodicea brifly and brighly let say so:
The evolution of normal religious alienation of consciousness have made monks out of monkeys!"

And in this sense:
religious fasts are tests, trials that answer the question "what influences a person's thoughts and actions more - the spiritual dogmas of religion or the natural needs of the body, the flesh?", that is, they answer the question "what dominates in the hierarchy of a person's life values ;;and determines his behavior, lifestyle, worldview"...

On June 28, 1995, at a meeting of the Philosophy Department of the Lipetsk State Technical University, a book by Gennady Yuryevich Zherebilov, a graduate student of the Philosophy Department, "Justification of Human. Homodicea", containing the main hypotheses and conclusions of his dissertation, was recommended for publication.

The head of Philosophy Department, doctor of Philosophy, professor L.P. Stankevich noted that the philosophical essay was written in line with the traditions of Russian philosophical thought and aimed at forming a system of high moral and ethical values; it used an interdisciplinary approach that is gaining strength, involving extensive modern scientific and philosophical, as well as religious material, allowing for a comprehensive study of human beings.

G. Yu. Zherebilov put forward a number of his own innovative hypotheses, including the hypothesis of the alienation of individual consciousness from the system of the human individ.

This metamorphosis of consciousness as a non-pathological degree of its alienation has to a certain extent become a new normal.

Or, figuratively speaking, it has become that necessary step that raised Homo sapiens on the ladder of evolution and has become the threshold separating him from the animal world.

Normal alienation of consciousness has made a human out of a monkey!

In connection with the high relevance of the topic and taking into account the usefulness of the innovative hypotheses and conclusions set out in the philosophical essay for specialists and a wide readership, the Department of Philosophy of LGTI recommends the manuscript for publication.

The term "Homodicea" was composed by Gennady Zherebilov from the words "homo"(human) and "dicea" (justification) in the image and likeness of the notion "Theodicea".

In the concept of Homodicea, the author developed the structure of the human psyche, developed by Z. Freud, and introduced into the instance of the human psyche, called by Freud "Super-Ego", the concept of the component "Extra-Ego" (Extra-Ego, or Ego-beyond-Ego), since it, in the author's opinion, most accurately reflects the involvement of this component in the individual and at the same time alienation from it, involvement in the world of ideas.

In addition, the author proposed to consider the instance in the psychic structure, called by Freud "It", as a psychic projection of "They" - instances of the psychophysical structure of human, rooted in the microworld (a term introduced into circulation by G. Yu. Zherebilov to designate a set of cells as substantial doers in a multicellular organism).

The author also substantiated in his book the hypothesis about the universal process of development of complex self-organizing systems through the alienation of a part of the cognitive system for its acquisition of subjectivity and return to the system at a higher stage of development. G. Yu. Zherebilov compared this development algorithm with the life cycle described in the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Physicists are currently working on the project "Genesis of Complexity".

The worldview in its genesis goes to the understanding of the world at the post-sectoral level.
And one of the steps in the spirit of "sweeping away barriers" was made by the author of the book "Justification of Human. Homodicea".

The concept of Homodicea
G. Yu.  Zherebilova continues, supplements with the concept of "wise love" and once again confirms the truth and vitality of the creative legacy of the greatest thinker and sociologist Pitirim Sorokin, who claimed that "the principle of love should be the basis not only of interpersonal relations, but also of economic, political, legal relations between states and social groups."

By and large, the essence of the concept and the entire book "Justification of Human. Homodicea" can be expressed in the author's appeal, which can become a kind of "formula of love" capable of transforming our world and man:
"Love the World as yourself!"
   
***

The Conception "Homodicea
 - Justification of Human".

It is well known that there are many versions, each in its own way answering the question of the origin and development of Homo sapiens.

In the conception of Homodicea, first outlined by the author - Gennady Yuryevich Zherebilov
in the book "Justification of Human. Homodicea" in 1995, an attempt was made to briefly and in its main features reproduce the probable model of the evolution of terrestrial living matter at the stage of development from a cell to Homo sapiens.

That is, the author was looking for answers to the question:

"What could have been the path of development of Homo sapiens from substantial doers, as the Russian philosopher Lossky defined cells, to speculative abstract mathematical thinking, which the human brain is capable of?"

Let's start with the fact that living matter began to organize itself into masses in order to break free from many external dependencies, as Teilhard de Chardin believes.

But even before organizing themselves into groups of living beings with an independent center, which are called multicellular organisms, active and relatively independent anuclear cells - prokaryotes, or, using Lossky's terminology, substantial doers, carried out enormous preparatory work.

According to one well-known hypothesis ("Geo"), it was these living beings as the main autocatalytic elements that did the work on planet Earth both for God, creating the habitat, and for the "serpent-tempter", entering with the preservation of a certain autonomy into the composition of more complex cells - eukaryotes, the evolution of which gave rise to the mechanism of sexual reproduction, thereby increasing genetic diversity.

Unicellular living beings - substantial doers - based on the principles of irreversibility of evolution, origin from non-specialized ancestors and progressive specialization, created "in their own image and likeness" a multitude of diverse multicellular organisms, while remaining relatively independent doers.

Organized groups of substantial doers in the form of multicellular organisms entered the expanses of the macroworld.

With the help of instincts, many of them successfully adapted to macroreality.

But the evolution of living matter does not stop there.

As scientists know, a self-organizing system becomes capable of cognition only when two or more hierarchical levels are created, and it is impossible for cognitive abilities to emerge from mutually unambiguous reflection of hierarchical levels of the system, and for communication between different levels of the system, many code transformations of information are necessary.

And the earthly self-organizing system gradually prepares the emergence of the human mind.

Primates are among the first living creatures, during the course of whose evolution the psychophysiological integrity of animals gradually decreased.

After all, it was as a result of the evolution of the nervous system of primates that human appeared as a creature with weak instincts, defective, by the standards of the natural world, doomed to extinction.

From there, from the well-being of the "animal Paradise", a human being looks like a degenerate animal, a degenerate.

But on the other hand, he is the crown of evolution, which, among other things,
is evidenced by the presence of the longest "phylogenetic trace" in the human individual system, which, according to experts, means the greatest functional complexity of the living system.

The English philosopher Arthur Koestler in his work "The Spirit in the Machine" claims that there can be two responses to the numerous challenges of the surrounding world to a living being.

The first - degenerative way - leads to stagnation and ultimately to the extinction of the species.

The second - regenerative way  - leads to survival through enormous reorganizations in structure and behavior, which in turn causes biological or mental progress.

This conclusion of Koestler fits perfectly into the concept of "Homodicea", presented by its author in the book "Justification of Human".

Human was able to respond to the challenge of the environment by developing mental abilities.

According to the author's hypothesis about the "alienation of individual consciousness from the individual's biosystem", presented in the concept of "Homodicea", the problem was solved by means of supercompensatory development of the brain.

In the course of its superdevelopment and complication (from 1600 cubic cm in Neanderthals to 2000 cubic cm in Homo sapiens), certain levels of the brain begin, so to speak, to be "burdened" by their position as a "servant", called upon to best serve the needs of the "master", i.e. the organism as a whole.

So, in scientific terms:
complex neurodynamic systems associated with the implementation of the intentions of our "I", the so-called I-systems, which represent the highest levels of brain self-organization, having acquired additional degrees of freedom in the course of advanced development, enter into a competitive struggle with the integral system of the organism, alienate themselves from it, develop their own or perceive spiritual needs from the outside, sometimes running counter to biological ones, and begin to "speak" with the outside world allegedly on behalf of the entire organism.

In the book "Justification of Human. Homodicea" by G.Yu. Zherebilov, 1995, it is suggested that there could be many causes and consequences of "alienation of consciousness" as a way of human development.

These include genetic changes due to closely related marriages in closed or limited in number communities of people and especially in hereditary ruling dynasties; and the development of abstract sciences, and so on...

According to the conclusions set out in the book "Justification  of Human. Homodicea", human evolution went through the following main stages:

- weak instincts (loss of animal psychophysiological integrity);

- overcompensating development and complication of the brain, allowing a person to successfully adapt to the environment (during which, figuratively speaking, the "elite" brain cells begin to be burdened by their subordinate position in the body's system - the "servant position");

- the emergence of religious and philosophical views dividing a person into an immortal soul and a mortal body;

- a metamorphosis of consciousness occurs, as a result of which the "elite" brain cells are, as it were, alienated from the rest of the body's cells,
figuratively speaking, the brain turns from a "servant" into a "master" of the body.

Let us emphasize once again that from a philosophical point of view, one of the most influential reasons that launched the process of "alienation of consciousness", which plays an important role in the development from a natural human to a spiritual human, in my opinion, were religious and philosophical worldviews that divide man into a mortal, perishable body and an immortal, divine soul.
Perhaps the reason for the beginning of this process was the unconscious protest of ancient man against the inevitable end of his earthly life.

As is known, the "psychophysiological problem" arose in the 17th century, when Descartes formulated a theory about the division of everything that exists into two substances: physical and spiritual.

The scientific discussion of the systemic interaction of the body and the human psyche continues to this day.

Answers within the framework of their scientific disciplines were given by philosophers, psychologists and physiologists, physicists...

In the spirit of an interdisciplinary approach, one cannot fail to mention the scientific findings of the researcher of human consciousness, one of the founders of nanobiology, neurobiologist, Professor Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose, a physicist and mathematician, who developed the "quantum theory of consciousness", according to which the basis of the human mind is quantum nature.

In this theory, the supposed carriers of, so to speak, "consciousness" are assumed to be protein microtubules (microtubules) located inside neurons, forming the cytocellular skeleton.

First, they assigned only the role of reinforcement and arrange intracellular channels.
But now we can assume that inside each cellular system there is a system similar to a quantum computer...

If we schematically compare the presence of the brain with a computer, then the structural asymmetry of the cerebral hemisphere can be attributed to the hardware - "hardware", consciousness - to the software - "software".

Based on this, we can understand why the consciousness of “Mowgli children” with innate asymmetry of the brain hemispheres differs from the consciousness of a social person.
This phenomenon arises due to the emergence of co-consciousness (co-consciousness, in this example, is individual knowledge formed on the basis of basic knowledge, myths, beliefs of the community), which plays the role of "software" - software inherent in the human community.

For my part, I would like to remind you that in the concept of Homodicea, a special role is given to the cell as a substantial doers, according to Lossky's definition.

In 1995, Gennady Zherebilov published his original hypothesis of “Alienation of individual consciousness from biosystem of individ”, which offers a solution to the “psychophysiological problem” based on an interdisciplinary scientific approach.

At present it is becoming obvious that the solution to the psychophysiological problem is possible only with the integration of all sciences studying human.

Professor Tim Crowe, a psychiatrist and researcher, is known, among other things, for his hypothesis that some part of humanity pays with schizophrenia for the different development of the brain from other creatures.

Two years after the publication of the book "The Justification of Human. Homodicea", in 1997, Crowe's article was published in Schizophrenia Research with the title "Is schizophrenia the price for homo sapiens using discrete language?"

In it and in an article published on the same topic in 2000, based on scientific experiments, Crowe argues that language and psychosis have common evolutionary origins - genetic changes, as a result of which the hemispheres of the brain began to develop independently.

Moreover, the structural asymmetry of the human brain was formed by evolutionarily ancient genes, which over time acquired new functions.

Timothy J. Crowe currently works at the Department of Psychiatry at Oxford University and is engaged in research in the field of psychiatry.
Their current project "genetics of asymmetry" is very close to the conclusions of Homodicea conception of normal alienation of consciousness as an essential characteristic of Homo sapiens.

Today, most scientists believe that both the left and right hemispheres of the brain participate in the organization of any mental function, but each of them makes its own specific contribution: logical-symbolic thinking is closely connected with the mechanisms of the left hemisphere, and figurative thinking is closely connected with the mechanisms of the right hemisphere.
This is the phenomenon of functional asymmetry of the brain.

At present, the problem of interhemispheric asymmetry of the brain is studied primarily as a problem of the functional specificity of the hemispheres, that is, as a problem of the specificity of the contribution that each hemisphere makes to any mental function. These ideas are based on the neuropsychological theory of the brain's organization of higher mental functions.

Therefore, it can now be assumed that from the point of view of psychology and physiology, one of the most influential reasons that launched the process of "alienation of consciousness" was the asymmetry of the hemispheres acquired during human evolution, which is a cardinal feature of the organization of the human brain.

This metamorphosis of individual consciousness from a "servant" to a "master" turned the human worldview upside down!

Returning to the mechanism of alienation described in the book "Justification of Human. Homodicea", it is necessary to especially emphasize that the metamorphosis of individual consciousness occurs in the process of stratification of the hierarchical structure of the psychophysiological integrity of human.
And since the hierarchy of structures is a sign of a holistic formation, then, consequently, the psychophysiological integrity of man turns out to be violated - that is, a kind of pseudo-integrity.

Evidence of this is the self-evident duality of the human being, explained by some researchers as a manifestation of the interaction of soul and body, by others - as a consequence of private property...

However, as the great thinker Goethe asserted, the destruction of the old integrity is simultaneously the process of formation of a new integrity.

In the case of human, as is assumed in the concept of Homodicea, the so-called animal integrity was destroyed, but a new one - the so-called "God-human" integrity has not yet been formed.

Let us pay attention to the psychic pseudo-integrity of man, which Hengstenberg calls incomplete.

In search of an answer to the question: "what is the basis of the human capacity for objectivity?" - he discovers in the existential structure of man a "gap" that does not exist in other living beings.

The German philosopher determines that this "gap" is overcome through the principle that is its cause, and for the sake of which this "gap" exists.

We see how close Hengstenberg comes to understanding the essence of the alienation of individual consciousness. However, following Scheler, he calls this principle "spirit" and interprets it from a metaphysical position.

At the same time, in the metaphysical definition of "spirit" many functions are found that are inherent in the instance of the human psyche, called by Freud "Super-Ego".

 But even closer in functional terms to the “spirit” of Scheler is the component of the human psychic structure defined by Gennady Zherebilov as part of the “Super-Ego”, which he called the “Extra-Ego”.

He also gave it another name, "Ego-beyond-Ego", since it, in his opinion, most accurately reflects the involvement of this component in the individual and at the same time alienation from him.

It should be remembered that in the concept of Homodicea "They" are a simple aggregate, a community of substantial doers, that are, cells in a multicellular organism, the projection of whose activity on the mental structure of the personality corresponds to Freud's "It". Whereas "Ego-beyond-Ego" - alienated consciousness - corresponds more to the "Super-Ego" in the structure proposed by Freud.

And indeed, through the "Ego-beyond-Ego", or "Extra-Ego", there is a gap in the mental integrity of human.

Accordingly, in the process of the origin and development of the alienation of individual consciousness, the animal mental integrity was violated, that is, the "I" subordinated "It", according to Freud's classification, and the psychophysiological integrity, that is, the "I" subordinated "They", where "It" is a mental projection of the "They's" activity, in the interpretation of the author of the concept of Homodicea.

Thus, the alienated individual consciousness inherent only to human is the cause of the "gap" in the mental and, accordingly, psychophysiological integrity of human.

At the same time, thanks to this "gap", the alienated individual consciousness becomes capable of objectivity, which, in turn, manifests itself in the "openness of human to the world" and is recognized by many researchers as an essential characteristic of the human being.

 Thus, a person can be characterized as a being whose roots are in the microworld, because the body is the form, and the content is the substantial doers (the level of "They"), but thinking in concepts and images of the macroworld (the levels of the "I", the Super-Ego), and entering into the higher system of the megaworld at the level of the Extra-Ego, or the "Ego-beyond-Ego", and also striving to know all worlds in their unity.

In addition, a person has an alienated consciousness, which with its gnostic, value and volitional features is presented in the functioning of neurodynamic systems of type X as self-organizing, self-governing systems of the personal level of brain self-organization in the system of a human individual, which are significantly influenced by informational reasons of an ideological nature.

Therefore, I draw your attention to the conclusion.

It can be argued that the degree of alienation of individual consciousness depends on the "alienating potential" of the ideological systems it has perceived, which have a long-term impact on the life position of a person.

Basically, today there are three main roads that a person can take.

Let's remember the famous painting depicting a knight who stopped his horse in front of a stone at a fork in the road, wondering which one to choose.

The stone has instructions written on it.

If you go left, you will lose your horse (in our understanding - corporeality); if you go right, you yourself will disappear (for us this means - losing the humanity in a person).
The straight road threatens death to both the horse and the knight.

One of the roads turns back soon after the fork. This is the path by which the prodigal son can return to the lost "animal Paradise". It is easy. For it is only necessary to lower the level of the dam of moral traditions and moral demands, to weaken the position of the "Super-Ego", as the flow of passions will overwhelm the person. This turn is quite possible, since the main qualitative difference between human and animals is his spirituality, based until now, as it seems, on an alienated individual consciousness.

And, therefore, the guarantor of human's non-return to a semi-animal state are constantly acting informational causes (a system of worldviews that determine what is good or evil), affecting the self-governing system of the human brain and through it implementing causal control over the systemic properties of a lower level of whole organism.

Let us recall, for example, the "Mowgli syndrome" - a set of symptoms observed in children who grew up in conditions of complete isolation from humans' society.

In other words, when a system of views, conventionally speaking, "worship to the Golden Calf" prevails, preaching the achievement of wealth and power as the main goals of life only for the most complete satisfaction of base carnal desires, then a person takes the path of degeneration into an animal.

However, following Franz Baader, Friedrich Schelling and many other thinkers, we have every reason to assert that human can only be "either lower than an animal or higher than it". For, given the high level of thinking abilities of modern human and weak instinctive regulation, we have the right to assume that, unlike animals (who rarely kill their own kind and live a moderate sex life), human will begin to use such sophisticated methods of coercion of his own kind and ways of gratifying the flesh that he will become a true fiend of hell. Therefore, defining this path as the road leading to a "beast likeness", in the worst sense of this notion, people of good will reject it.

The second path seems to us, as far as it can be seen from the standpoint of modernity, to be the road to  a  "robot likeness".

The fantastic achievements of modern science and technology tempt the alienated consciousness to follow the path of alienation to the end: to the realization of the dream of a complete lifetime liberation of the "conscious" higher levels of the brain from the remaining levels of the individual's system.

In ideological discussions, the advisability of the emergence of so-called bionic people, in whom all body parts will be artificial, is being proclaimed ever louder.

A possible scenario of endless alienation, in our opinion, is as follows: by replacing all body parts with artificial ones, elite brain cells will be "freed" from the "shackles of the flesh", from the "prison of the soul", from the influence of dark passions by getting rid of unconscious ordinary substantial doers.

This will certainly cause a gigantic leap in "consciousness", but most likely will lead to a tragic alienation from living nature and unpredictable changes in consciousness itself.  After all, along with dark passions, bright feelings will also disappear: love and compassion.

The logic of dispassionate thinking will inevitably lead to the replacement of the "smart" cells themselves - neurons with "smart" artificial non-living analogues.

Living thinking beings will disappear, and with them living thought with all its advantages and disadvantages will die. Non-living thought - "Deus ex Machina" - will hover in the Universe. At least, it will reign on Earth, in near-Earth space.

Most likely, the final alienation of non-living thought will lead to a catastrophic contradiction with living nature, with the living self-organizing system of planet Earth...

And the real world, as we imagine it today, will be replaced by virtual reality.
How can one not recall the words of Stanislav Jerzy Lec: "Those who put on blinders should remember that the set includes a bridle and a whip."

Perhaps everything will not be so gloomy. But the logic of deepening alienation of consciousness dictates precisely these consequences. And maybe even more dramatic ones.

After all, modern human moves towards the cherished goal of omnipotence much faster than towards omniscience.
Therefore, the price of erroneous decisions is rapidly growing.

But thank God, there is a third way - the way of true liberation of consciousness!

This course is traced back to ancient beliefs and reflections and passes through religious and philosophical systems in which the body appears as a Temple, as a Cathedral of a soul.

As we see it, it is this that will lead us to a natural, not artificial liberation of consciousness by replacing the process of alienation with the process of liberation.

At the same time, liberation through the harmonization of the "soul" and "body" will exclude hostile, antagonistic relations between free individual consciousness and the organism of the individ, between social consciousness and nature, the superorganism of planet Earth.

The philosopher Vl. Soloviev understood this path as development from a natural human to a spiritual human.

It is precisely this difficult path of acquiring the "God likeness", the creation of a perfect human, that seems, according to the spirit of the work on the justification of human, to be the only path leading to true happiness.

The acquisition of godlikeness "in essence" will mean the ascent of the individual consciousness of human from a state of alienation or complete detachment in relation to the system of the human individual to a state of "wise love" for the system, for the inner and outer worlds.

In other words, "wise love" is that state of consciousness that ensures the harmonious coexistence of all levels of human self-organization in the God-human integral system, as well as harmony between the individual's system and other (external) systems.

We are talking about the need to search for that "middle way" and ideological teaching that will ensure an optimal relationship between spiritual and biological needs, and will allow a wise and righteous individual consciousness to guide the individual's organism, coordinating in it and through it the needs of the lower levels of self-organization with the requirements of the higher levels.

In the book "Justification of Human. Homodicea" the author expressed this in the mantram
"I and They - we have common goals", which is intended to develop the mantram of yogis
"I am the master of myself", more characteristic of the alienated consciousness.

The mantram "I and They" contains the following words:

"In a uniting rise to the upper worlds, trillions of living beings have merged in Me...

My wise love for Them is based on gratitude for the fact that My existence is made up of the multitude of Their existences, on the understanding of Their natural needs and on their reasonable satisfaction, on responsibility for the fulfillment of a common good goal that will lead Us to harmony, to the joyful embodiment of a full-fledged being."

Thus, having previously recognized the essential characteristic of a modern human as the presence of a certain degree of alienation of consciousness, we can now recognize that the essential characteristic of, so-called, the "God-human", or the perfect human, will be the presence of a "loving", truly free consciousness.

The universal essential characteristic of the human individual is the ability of self-governing neuro-dynamic systems of type X (forming the personal level of brain self-organization in the system of the human individual) to advanced development in compare with other parts of whole organism, which opens up the broadest possibilities for creativity and self-improvement for human.

So, the development of neurodynamic systems of type X (both phylogenetically and ontogenetically) produces new degrees of freedom that change the spectrum of possible choices. At a certain stage of anthropogenesis, this led to some alienation of consciousness from the individual's biosystem, and in the future, we hope, will lead to a higher sinergy of truly free consciousness with other levels of self-organization of the human being.

Consequently, having embarked on the path of acquiring godlikeness, or, more simply, striving for perfection, changing himself and changing the environment for the better, a perfect human will significantly influence the change of his future for the better, and will avoid gloomy prophecies.

A good question eventually becomes a great answer. I hope that this is what happened to my question posed in my book "The Justification of Human. Homodicea" in 1995:

"a self-organizing system becomes capable of cognition only upon reaching at least two hierarchical levels with mutually ambiguous mappings of the hierarchical levels of the system."

"Based on this pattern of development of self-organizing cognitive systems, it is probably possible to pose the question of a certain universal process consisting in the fact that during the emergence and development of any self-organizing cognitive system, a subsystem arises in it - a "thinking" core, which, depending on the level of development of the system, can successively go through several or all of the following stages of interaction with the system:

1) complete dependence on the system, on its lower levels;

2) a certain degree of autonomy;

3) alienation from the system, from its lower levels;

4) the highest degree of possible independence from the system - a state of uninvolved objectivity;

5) understanding, involved objectivism - a state of love, an all-good, all-powerful "advanced core" to the system, the inner and outer worlds." And, it is very likely, as knowledge of the development of such self-organizing systems as human, society, state, world civilization, and possibly the Cosmos shows us, the algorithm for the creation and development of a new hierarchical level in complex self-organizing cognitive systems is set out in the form of metaphors and allegories in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, as well as in other Sacred texts.

Let's make a mental experiment.
See at Homodicea as a rethinking of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in a new light...

Modern science claims the following.
The brain has a hypernetwork structure, that is, a network within networks, and so on...

Interhemispheric asymmetry of the brain in an adult is a product of the action of biosocial mechanisms.

The ability to speak, analyze, detail, abstract is provided by the left hemisphere of the brain. It works sequentially, building chains, algorithms, operating with a fact, detail, symbol, sign, and is responsible for the logical component in thinking.

The right hemisphere is capable of perceiving information as a whole, working through many channels at once and, in conditions of insufficient information, reconstructing the whole from its parts. It is customary to correlate creative abilities, intuition, and the ability to adapt with the work of the right hemisphere. The right hemisphere ensures the perception of reality in all its diversity and complexity, as a whole, with all its constituent elements.

In popular psychology, it is often claimed that one of the hemispheres is responsible for "logic" (left), and the other for "creativity" (right).

As shown by the research of E. Simernitskaya, the foundations of the functional specialization of the hemispheres are innate, but as the child develops, the mechanisms of interhemispheric asymmetry and interhemispheric interaction are improved and become more complex.

In the early stages of ontogenesis, most children exhibit a figurative, right-hemispheric type of response.

I suggest it is quite likely that in the early stages of human development, the "right-hemispheric style of thinking" dominated, and therefore religious teachings abound in allegories, figurative metaphors and allegories so that they would be accessible to contemporaries of ancient thinkers and prophets...

Long before the conclusions of modern scientists, there was a belief that a guardian angel sits on a person’s right shoulder (left hemisphere), and a tempting demon sits on the left shoulder (right hemisphere)...

Let us imagine that someone, incomparably more intelligent and knowledgeable than his followers, needed to outline briefly, figuratively and vividly, conditionally and schematically the process of asymmetrical development of the hemispheres of the brain of Homo sapiens, as a result of which the right hemisphere actively interacts with the body as a collection of cells, or, as the philosopher Lossky called them, with the community of substantial doers, including through the manifestation of their desires in the brain. A teacher also wanted explain to pupils that the left hemisphere, having gone through the path of "alienation", is capable of objectively and logically assessing the desires of the body, comparing them with the worldview and moral standards professed by it, and then by a strong-willed decision to prohibit or permit their fulfillment, as well as by force of will direct the activity of the body, often contrary to desires, to achieve the goals dictated by the worldview.

I think all this, including the establishment of harmonious interaction of the left hemisphere as a subsystem with the integral system of the human body, could be described in the simplest and best way in the Parable of the Return of the Prodigal Son.

The father's house can be interpreted as an integral system (metaphor - the body), in which the father gave birth to two sons.

The elder son (metaphor - the right hemisphere of the brain) maintained a strong connection with his father and home, fulfills his father's wishes, and the father tells him: "all that is mine is yours."

The younger son (metaphor - the left hemisphere of the brain) withdrew from family affairs and concerns about his father, left home, went through the path of alienation and, in the end, returned home with love for his father and brother.

But let's move from the parable to the philosophical law.

If the parable presented in images corresponds more to the right-hemisphere style of thinking, then in the same parable of the Prodigal Son and in the concept of Homodicea (the alienation of consciousness and its harmonization through "wise love") the left-hemisphere style of thinking will see the manifestation of the philosophical law of negation of negation, i.e. "turn full circle", but in a new quality.

In the course of human evolution, as has already been said, the so-called animal integrity was destroyed, but a new one, the so-called "God-human" integrity, has not yet been formed.

Animals and plants exist in the Earth's ecosystem and are not capable of independently going beyond its boundaries.
They and people are children of nature.
But Homo sapiens, creating the technogenic world, went beyond the "father's house" like the prodigal son.

Apparently, now in the psychophysiological development of human and, consequently, in the development of humanity, the stage of indifference, indifferentiation, which must be overcome in the transition from one integrity to another, is ending.

Humanity has to decide: whether to continue along the path of alienation, risking to perish, or, like the prodigal son, who has come to know himself and the values of his homeland, mentally and spiritually return home with wise love.

Moreover, in this sense, the great cycle in the development of humanity can be imagined as the expulsion from Paradise of the prodigal children of God - Adam and Eve, as well as the happy return to the Father's home of their progeny, who will "love the world as themselves", and that will be a sign of the fulfillment of Divine Providence and the beginning of a new cycle of the Creation of the World - the Era of Paradise.

We need remember that any mental construction or innovation is like on
"The Ax of Dostoyevsky" in the novel "Crime and Punishment"
- i.e. a janitor's tool or a villain's weapon:
because in the hands of people of good will it is an instrument of good deeds, in the hands of villains it is an instrument of atrocities.

And in this light:
Armageddon is a great battle between the forces of Good and evil and, above all, a struggle of worldviews for the mind and soul of each person.

The logic of Love leads us to the understanding that the Savior has to rise in each of us.

That is, like the Savior, each person must take upon himself the sins (the consequences of erroneous actions and thoughts) of all creatures that have ever lived on planet Earth.

More precisely, each of us is doomed to bear the entire burden of our own and others' sins, for they are either in us (i.e. passed on to us through genes), or around us (i.e. the consequences of the wrong actions of previous generations in the Earth System). And by and large, it can be argued that Salvation lies in repentance and atonement for all earthly sins. That is, in correcting erroneous thoughts and actions (metanoia - in the broad sense of this ancient Greek word means "change of mind", rethinking").

A true Homo sapiens has to become a human-savior!

And since human, consciously or unconsciously, builds a society, a state, a civilization in his own image, then it is necessary to replace the alienated consciousness of the ruling elites with "wise love" for the people, and the peoples of the world - with "wise love" for nature, for the planet, for the world...

The author of Homodicea calls to a human:
"Love the World as Yourself."

That is, love the world as an extension of a human, and love a human as an extension of the world...

In concluding a brief review of the work on the justification of human - Homodicea, I hope that I have managed to highlight at least a small part of the possible approaches to understanding and rethinking the phenomenon of human.

Moreover, the author strove to ensure that this highlighted part would not be segmental, but at least would form a small, but integral sphere of knowledge in the abyss of the still unknown.

Charles Darwin wrote to a friend in his declining years:
"In my most extreme moments of hesitation I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of God."

The author of the philosophical monograph "The Justification of Human. Homodicea"
(Homodicea / Homodicy is a neologism introduced into circulation by the author) declares that nothing in his thoughts and activities denies the existence of God...


According to Gennady Zherebilov, good ideas for the successful and harmonious development of human, humanity and the world could be his concepts of "Mosaic World" and
"Super-cooperatives", presented in articles in English and Russian and in the book in Russian "Homodicea - Justification of Human".
