WHAT WOULD IT TAKE ?
What would it take for all of the people in all of the world to come together in a peaceful harmonious community?
It would mean that all people, friends, enemies, those who didn’t speak to each other for any reason, warring nations (their leaders) - all would individually have to acknowledge the necessity of giving up some way of thinking.
For many this might seem like an easy thing to do - “first change your way of thinking”.
Yet, for many, this would take a huge effort, and the loss (that is, their status or stance, their attitude) would be the major stumbling block to this happening.
Peace - it requires peace within the individual mind. It is of no use a leader announcing that their nation will be at peace with their neighbours without the full and complete peaceful thoughts and actions of every last one of the citizens who make up that nation. Otherwise it would just be a lot of words with no real meaning, no real effectiveness.
An attitude that a person holds is about how he/she perceives him/her self in relation to other people/things/animals/environment/etc. around him/her.
So, to dramatically change the ingrained attitudes that involve ‘self’ at the core means we have to be able to perceive ourselves completely differently compared to how we have done up until now. This is what causes so much conflict in the world today - the fact that people have been so indoctrinated by the rules of family, society and religion about how they are supposed to be and think and act in relation to the world around them - this forms the “personality” showing how they are to the world and it is usually in some sort of conflict with some others.
In this case we can see how, to give up (change) those ingrained attitudes, means giving up what we are taught to believe is “our self”. The fear of becoming a ‘nobody’ i.e. without motivation, emotion, etc. is what keeps everyone the same as they always were.
But what we are talking about where complete peace and harmony is concerned is a lot of people giving up what they have become, letting go, and becoming like new people, like they were when they were born - a ‘Rebirth’, if you like, of all individuals who want to become part of the Earth’s Peaceful Community.
This doesn’t mean giving up all the skills and aptitudes we naturally possess, nor does it mean becoming mindless without our own thoughts. On the contrary, these are so essential to living in harmony. But it does mean giving up the rubbish way of thinking (conflict) and taking on the truly caring way. Transforming Ourselves.
This is Change with a big ‘C’ again - change for each of us who are to be part of this Worldwide Harmonious Community for the benefit of all.
Can you see it coming about?
Would you like it to come into existence?
Can you imagine how you would feel if it did?............
