Do you know what the Osterich said when he stuck his Head in a Hole?

Higher awareness begins with you ability to see the world as a beautiful, harmonic, movie-like dance. The way to do this is through acceptance of all things as if these things are meant to happen.

Accept things as they are? Sorry, I cannot accept the starving people of the world, children being raped etc. Where is our humanity if we accept such things?

Currently, most of us believe that the world is corrupt and needs to be changed. These people want a more loving world. What they have failed to see is that they are the ones who are truly unloving. To have unconditional love and love the world, you have to have unconditional love and love the world. Wanting to change the world is an expression of your dissatisfaction with it.

I would say it is WITHIN our humanity to see the place darkness has in our existence.
To strive to help those in need but still love those who commit terrible acts.
To love oneself despite the flaws we all have.
That is where the divinity of man lies.
In my own humble opinion of course.
A neutral good character does good for goodness' sake, not because he is directed to by law or by whim. Such a character will obey the law, or break it when he sees that it will serve a greater good. He isn't bound strongly to a social system or order. His need to help others and reduce suffering may take precedence over all else. A doctor who treats both sides in a fight and somebody who feeds the starving in a war zone are both examples of neutral good characters.

I'm happy you also discovered the Beauty idea; that all of reality/existence are all expressions of beauty.
But what happens when the New World Order comes? What happens when slavery comes? Should we sit back and see the beauty in that, or should we go against it like all of the slaves have in the past to regain their freedom?
