Similar Physical, Vital, Mental Makeup
There is a similarity in the makeup and composition of the individual, business, society, and universe. They each have an essential physical, vital/life, mental makeup.

Humor is the savor of life. it can enable evolution instead of revolution. (Paraphrase of MSS)
Untitled
There is a destiny and movement of the Force that is there that is the ultimate determinant in the outcomes. To note that it exists and see it particularly is very helpful in knowing the future movements.

The ego-sense is what helped form the individual human in the past. Now it has become the barrier for the present and future humanity. The same holds true for the social entity, the social class, the nation, etc. Acting from within the ego sense brings its corresponding negative reactions. An individual can show ego with his focus on others, and distain for others. A social class can look down on another class as an ego movement. A nation can push its interests at the expense of another nations detriment. All have negative repercussions.
Play of Light
Light shining on an area reveals the physical deficiency of the object, such as its lack of cleanliness and orderliness. In a similar fashion, Nature's Way, through its slow and meandering method, forces its light of truth through conflicting forces in life that end in emerging higher harmonies between them. Likewise, illuminations of knowledge, entering one's thoughts when living in the plane of spiritual mind, sheds new light of understanding and perception of the true truth; the fuller knowledge of the situations at hand.
Infinite Potentials
The infinite potential of society to develop parallels the unlimited potential of the individual to grow, which parallels the unlimited potential that exists in the universe, which all relate to the underlying source of these, the divine consciousness.
Harmony for Individual, Society
Just as a human can evolve to create harmony and integration of his being, so society is moving toward unity and harmony.Overcoming Individual, Business, and Social Ego
Just as an individual evolves by overcoming his limited sense of self (ego) and enjoins the needs of others around him so to the business overcomes it's limited sense of self (e.g. by involving its customers heavily in it's decision, by participating in the needs of society when considering new products), and so too the nation state overcomes its limiting self-importance and enjoins the nations of the world (e.g. global trade, global unity, a divine life on earth).When one overcomes the ego one opens to the greatest possibilities, even infinite possibilities. That's because when one goes beyond he ego of self one moves into the domain of unity, harmony, connectedness, which is in essence a connection to the unifying spirit of the All, the Divine. When yoked to the All one enters the realm of infinite possibility.
Coordinated Energy
When two or more conflicting groups move closer together to create a greater harmony, they are actually tapping the highest aspects of organization, which enables a vast coordinated power of energy to be released that can result in vast accomplishment.
