How Are We Supposed to Live?
How then do enlightened men and women actually live?
Ask yourself.
Meditate on this question.
Find concrete answers.
Find solutions that you know in your heart will work.
This is what I envision:
First of all, life on Planet Earth, humanity as we know it, is evolving. This means we are capable of evolving, becoming better, higher, more loving.
We must“do unto others”... There is no other way, no other viable solution for ourselves or for the Planet.
And this“doing unto others” includes right thinking, too. In the next stage of our evolution our thoughts will be visible. (For those who are sensitive, they already are. ) Thus...“doing unto others includes” envisioning and seeking for others the very same Good that we envision and seek for ourselves. Yes, the Good of One is the Good of All.
This also means seeing the Divine in everyone, including people we dislike and our so-called“enemies”. We may condemn the way other people behave. In other words, we may dislike the outer man or woman and denounce his or her behavior, but we must recognize and salute, at all times, the Divinity within each and every person we meet on our way. We must wish them well and envision the Highest Good for them too, or again as Frederick Bailes put it: constantly entertain“an intense desire for the well-being of others.”
With this in mind, we will always make the right choices, for ourselves and the Planet.
Make That Shift Right Now.
Now is the time to practice Right Thinking. Now is the time to focus the power of your thoughts on the Highest and Best you can conceive of. Now is the time to move from old, outdated, worn-out models of existence and ego-based competition to actions which are in harmony with Nature and which promote love, health, peace and harmony among all Creatures and Beings on the Planet—for the Highest Good of All Concerned.
