III. The process of humanization of the human being

        Many of today's people do not even have a clue about the success of their domestication, some of them are even gorillized, i.e., they depart from themselves, their humanity, they depart from their human features, their skills and possibilities of humanization, and as they are quickly domesticated and enter their ideas and a way of their life in the consumer and market society of a post-modern time.

       Their way of life is close to the way of life of domestic animals or even the wild animals that are close to us, such as gorillas.

       Since gorillas live from hand to mouth, for the present moment only, and are relinquish any motivation to improve, to develop themselves, or get better, why would they show extra effort?  Practically all they need, they have around themselves within easy reach, primarily they accept the present only and live for it.

       Those human dimensions that are part of past and future consciousness disappear with human conscience and humanity.

       Ever more often, human groups elect this simplified dehumanizing way of materialism of their existence, and regardless of all other world and human societies.  According to P. A. Sorokin, the "father of a new sociology", materialism inside the human being develops merely senses and instincts.

       It is an instinctive and sensualistic sense and could become a disaster for the human being, such as the Nazi movement, Fascist movement, Stalinist movement, and Fundamentalism.

       It is primarily a mechanical innovation, naivism and utopism, accompanied with the priority optimism and legalism that leads to ecological compromises and compromises in the relationship between nature and man, and thus contributes to the destruction of the human being even before he reaches prosperity, such as the socialist utopia in the 20th century.

       This rough political materialism leads directly to atheism, aggressiveness, and totalitarian movements that mean the end of a human being's life, the end of further humanization.

        As people, we have only two possibilities: either to further humanize ourselves, or dehumanize, or become dehumanized. The seemingly third way of maintaining the current level, to stay in the middle, would mean to stop and tomorrow enter the past and enter again the process of slow or rapid dehumanization.

       On the other hand, dehumanization is becoming the most important process in  current human society, because it also represents the peak, the continuation of the process of sapientation of the man, and will very likely continue including the future times of the human society.

       Even today, we may state that without further humanization, the existence of human society would be endangered. For the future, this integrating creative process related to each individual seems to be more important than the effort to reach his/her physical and psychological health.

       The humanization represents the final accomplishment of the entogenetic and phylogenetic development of human society.

        Is this humanization something new or is it a long used process, realized, but forgotten, neglected, and feared? Is it possible to further humanize themselves without the presence of God and without the help of God? And is the human being still able to choose the start of the route to 21st century?

        Man is always the "quinta esencia" of the creative powers of life on the Earth, and their strongest source (Die Liebe ist die höchste Bewegung des Lebens.)

       Therefore, humanization may be successful only as a process of integration connecting the efforts of teachers, scientists, and theologists with the professional and leisure activities and trying to accomplish cultural continuity, connection, and sequence, since this is a live and creative process.
