The possibility of stepping into a higher plane
is quite real for everyone. It requires no force
or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than
changing our ideas about what is normal.
Who am I? is the only question worth asking and the only one never answered.
People get violent when 3 things happen:
1. When their personal safety or survival is affected
2. When their family's safety or survival is affected
3. When their way of life is drastically affected
Then people have this survival instinct and they become violent.
When I see violence I ask myself the following questions: How can I make that person feel safe? How can I make that person feel safe with their family? How can I not interfere with their way of life?
If we could do this with our perceived enemies we would not have to have a war on terror.
In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
The uncertainty you feel inside is the doorway to wisdom.
Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.
...there's a disconnect between public and private morality. What corporations and governments do (ruining people's retirement funds, killing an enemy en masse) is unthinkable for the individual. Few societies have successfully bridged this gap. The only answer I can come up with is that only consciousness can prevail. When you find yourself having to make a difficult moral choice, your choice comes intuitively. One person automatically resorts to violence, another automatically resists violence. In the larger scheme this doesn't mark the difference between good and bad. It marks the stages of evolution that consciousness has always gone through and will continue to.
