Your atoms make up molecules which make up tissue which make up cells which make up skin tissue which make up organs which make up systems (such as the nervous system), which make up a body. Each one of those aspects must work together in harmony with faith for the system to continue and not break down.They must have unwavering faith that what they do will be for a higher good. If they begin to act independently, attacking other cells or leaching onto the cells reproductive capability to grow at a rate for it's own purposes, this is known in the body as a disease.
Faith is necessary for survival of cells, or at least an entire "body" of cells. Similarly, for a particular system in reality, faith is necessary. The financial system breaks down for example when people lose faith that their money is there, or that the currency will be redeemable by others. Without faith in the court systems, the economy breaks down because people don't believe or have faith in things like the concept of "ownership". It works far beyond the economic system, or court system, but that is probably the easiest "system" for me to use to illustrate the importance of faith in ones self and one's fellow man/woman and/or in a particular "system".
The human species for survival needs not this exclusive "self interest" "survival of the fittest" mentality, or worse, using power to bring harm to other people. And they certainly don't need to only help others because of and through an aggressive "medium" of some sort. It is Synergy that allows us to be much more powerful by cooperation than by working independently. Self-interest can certainly within the right system collectively serve society in a productive way, but synergy allows there to be more influence and mutual beneficial assistance for a better world for everyone.
Now what I am still trying to learn and explore...
I think there is a great reality we are mostly unaware of that functions as a result of our efforts. In other words, if you think of individual cells working together in harmony with different sometimes separate functions to produce and maintain a healthy body as unaware of the results of it's effort and the larger collective as a metaphor for what humans do when we work together for the great cell known as the earth and the great unknown beyond the solar system and galaxies and universe, then perhaps you might get a general idea. Carl Jung had referenced a "collective unconscious" in relationship to cell inheritance when he talked about the "collective arm" but also alluded to a presence of a divine mind connecting basic archetypes together. Ralph Waldo Emerson discussed of an "over-soul". Adam Smith referred to an "invisible hand" but mostly referred only to the productive abilities of society and material, for societal and technological advancements and didn't really go beyond that. I believe in spite of man's attempt to hijack the natural tendency of humans to gather and rejoice spontaneously and believe in something greater, that a general sense of faith is a component of a healthy society. It is not about having to define it by a representational system such as language because it transcends that and incorporates many of the elements that wise men and woman have discussed. It is not about giving this greater collective a name. It is about harmonizing in love in that there is something greater and believing in faith and that everything will work out. Cells work in harmony together to produce something greater than themselves and this concept is in many ways explained and defined by the word "synergy".
But although I have different ways of expressing my understanding, I still feel in many ways the initial video understands and explains it better, but this text can serve as a quick supplement for those without the time, only willing to skim and go back if they find it interesting.
Ultimately though, this is the intuitive knowledge and harmonious love that I feel in some ways transcends the basic 5 senses which are filtered through the amygdala and subject to delusion and manipulation and false associations and contradiction and biases that you really must "connect" with to like Neo, truely become "the one".
