Inherent in human beings -fitted within our natures- are the possibilities and the opportunities to improve by ordered steps higher conditions for realizable perfection.
We possess the faculties and will -physical and spiritual- to repair the retarded conduct that has kept us at odds with one another and our environment, from the beginning of our existence on this planet.
We are not animals and we claim to be above their natures. And yet animals can be domesticated. Man remains wildly violent.
Kindness, goodness, generosity, trust, compassion, grace, patience and humility are inheritances mostly forgotten in our gross bodies. They remain -precious treasures- suppressed within us, while we struggle, with the liberty of slaves, to bring meaning to our existence. We are slaves because we don’t live the fullness of the freedom to renew our thinking and exemplify our superior humanity, our own and that of other beings, through our actions. We are slaves because we fail to overthrow the dictator in our midst -our Ego, which tends to look mostly after “number one.” Slaves because we ask, “What can I possibly do?" when the question should be “How can I help?”
Wealth alone is mad love for things, its satisfaction is short-lived. True wealth is happiness. Happiness is peace, internally and with your surroundings. It is knowing that you have breathed into your life activities the understanding and conditions that give life to all. That your every action is a token of appreciation for what the universe has provided for you without ever asking for pay back.
In these hours of sadness and darkness spreading across the globe’s vast horizons we are the only source of light that can lift up the whole cloth of our existence and let in the Sun. Only when we have awakened to this urgent call will the UNIverse, return to set our course aright.
Life gives unto life.
We have gobbled down all the “free lunches”. It’s time for us to feed and nurture the Unknown treasures waiting in the Wings.
Peace,
