Hi, I think this topic could have been addressed in the first thread, but now that you have started it, I'll reply here:
How do we become a better world/society, what is the all elusive secret, what is that complex quantum mechanical formula that will solve poverty and
war? There are no secrets, there are no formulas, there is nothing new that we can offer. You already know what to do, you always have, and have been
reminded over and over again from many spiritual masters, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna. And what they have all said, is to recognize the power of love
and peace.
Love and peace are the most powerful forces in this universe. This whole universe is held by an all creative and attractive force, that is love, and
when you are at peace, you allow that love to enter your life. God is that force of love, he is the most positive force, he is the supreme light, and
when you allow his light to enter you, when you remember him, you fulfill yourself and you flourish.
The first thing you need to recognise, that you cannot change someone elses world. The world you see today, that we call "society" is not your
world. The world is the state of the human collective consciousness, and all manifestations in it, be it war, poverty, disasters, are the product of
our collective minds.
But you can change your own world, which is the manifestation of your own mind, and when you change your mind, you change your world, and you when you
change your world, it changes our world. In self-transformation there is world-transformation.
That is it. As soon as you practice the universal values of love and peace, you allow the light of the universe to permeate you, and through you
light, you light up the world. You cannot change others, but you can change yourself
I am not preaching any religions to you, nor any far-fetched beliefs, all I am asking you to do is believe in yourself. As I said, you are a
multidimensional entity with limitless potential, you're a spark of divinity, you are magical, and believe in the magic you are, and you will do
magic.
