While it’s true that most of the people on the planet are nowhere near abandoning their current fear-based way of life, I believe that it may be possible to transcend it and leave it behind over time. Keep the following in mind:
1. The primary cause of suffering is operating out of fear. All suffering that occurs on planet Earth, whether internal or external, ALWAYS starts with fear. The only way to end physical and psychological suffering is to begin operating from a place of love – towards ourselves and towards others. Bringing about this transformation in you is the chief hope of this website.
2. What you do to another, you do to yourself. You can’t escape the consequences of your actions and pretend hurting another will have no impact whatsoever on yourself. As the saying goes, “what goes around, comes around” and whatever intention we express eventually comes back to us.
3. Thoughts are things. Any expression of the fear-based consciousness, i.e. judgment, hatred, resentment, anger, guilt, or any other manifestation, starts with a thought. If you want to transcend the fear-based consciousness, then start first with changing your thoughts. As Jung revealed, the collective unconscious is the one mind shared by all of us. Our individual thoughts affect the whole and the world we see is the out-picturing of those collective thoughts. Change your thoughts, change the world.
4. A spiritual reality is desperately needed to solve our problems. I didn’t use the word ‘religious’, because in my view, religion can not and has not solved most of our problems. With few exceptions, organized religion has caused more suffering than any other thing. That does not mean that all religions are bad, or that God doesn’t exist. Just that there is a deeper spiritual dimension that exists in each of us and employ spiritual solutions to solve our problems.
5. Evil is real. If you are on this website, you have an open mind and I encourage you to keep it that way. There are human beings even worse than garbage, because they actually enjoy making other people suffer. It’s the personification of the psychopathy, sociopathy, and narcissism disorders. One can’t study atrocities like the Holocaust or any other mass genocides, and deny that there is not something deeply evil and debasing going on there. I have spent an unnerving amount of time in my life studying evil. It’s real, I don’t care if you believe me or not, and it’s high-time that we acknowledge that fact.
6. It is time for spiritual people to step up to the plate. There is no way that things will change, unless those of you who are willing to walk the walk, do it on Planet Earth. There is a time to raise your consciousness, to resolve your internal psychological blocks, and then there’s a time to start expressing yourself and to be a light unto the world. Our main job is not to convince anybody; our main job is to simply offer an alternative to the status-quo. How you do that is up to you and whether they listen or not is not your concern. But it’s time for you to step up to the plate and swing for the fences.
