Changing Ourselves Together

In our times physical actions don’t determine anything. Nature is demanding the right attitude from us. And this is the problem. We shouldn’t give out free help to people or take the last shirt off our backs. What’s required from you is a different attitude. You have to change yourself rather than the way you act.

Until now we acted physically, the way our egoism or false altruism desired. We gave out bread to the poor and generally speaking, tried to change the world any way we liked. But it’s been enough. The results speak for themselves. From now on, we are the ones who have to change.

Instead of changing the world, we want to change ourselves with the help of external forces. This is the new tendency. On this path we will see how everything we have managed to concoct is becoming corrected.

Beautifully said ..... I have just recently come to a similar conclusion, I am putting my foot down for self love for myself, leading by example and offering the truth to help others. Personal responsibility and the way of the heart!

Our thoughts, words, and actions create our physical reality.

It's not the circumstances that create the happiness. It is the happiness creating the circumstances.

Any thought that is given emotion will manifest, in my opinion. Energy in motion. Raw and pure energy combined creates. Enough energy in motion creates matter. Not as in the sense of manifesting magically, but if you think of something long enough and you feel like you have it already, there will probably be a time where that thought comes true in reality. Faith and belief is powerful for manifesting something or an emotion.

I love your wonderful words moke64916!

Moke, well said.

For many centuries & by many religious groups, including some New Age ones we were told it was a given, an absolute truth that the Best Highest Purpose was to be of service to others. This was never questioned.

While this may have seemed noble initially & was an easy idea to sell, particularly coupled w/ the notion that it was a duty owed religious entities who had sacrificed so much for us (major guilt trip), it served 2 nifty purposes for organized religion. It gave them many thousands of extremely low paid life-time employees willing to live an overly spartan existence to fuel their bureaucracy. Even more importantly it directed people AWAY from having the productive self awareness & self examination that is the beginning of any meaningful level of spiritual growth.

We are now moving towards Best Highest Purpose being having the wisdom to take care of our own energies first. This is reasonable, as we are the only ones who can do this for us.

We can make this shift to taking care of our own energies w/o having to have our or our predecessors previous intent be problematic or false. We were just doing what all of society steered us into thinking was the right thing to do. The vast majority of those reaching out to help others were doing so in an honorable & genuine manner.

I agree Mattie... Air flight instruction always cautions us, in case of emergency, to put on our own oxygen mask first before assisting children of someone else. If our own life isn't sustained in present awareness and self appreciation what do we imagine we could give to someone else?
