IMAGINE if people always remained calm and never got angry about
anything, because they were taught from an early age to control
their emotions and realised that everything they said, thought
and did came back to them - positive and negative!
If people never blamed anybody else for anything, and they looked
at their misfortunes as gifts for growth, realising that they
created them especially for that reason.
If joy were always a natural state of being. If people never spoke
badly about anybody else and had no interest in the misfortunes
or fortunes of others.
If people communicated telepathically, so thoughts and feelings
were always exposed.
If people always lived in a state of complete integrity, sharing
and kindness, and trust was never even questioned as there were
no greedy, fearful people.
If people loved the Earth so much that they continually praised
and thanked her for the gift of life, realising that everything
they thought, said and did, and all the negative stuff made her
sick.
If people realised that harmony was the most important state to
be in 24/7.
If people realised that discordant thoughts, feelings, words and
actions sank into their own bodies, the planet and all around
them, including the water, of which we are 90%!
If people realised that their chaotic thoughts and emotions caused
the all the chaos in outer world, including the weather.
If people decided to only be polite to each other - no matter
how rude the other was - i.e. two wrongs make a bigger wrong,
and it is better to turn the other cheek.
If people were taught how to create the necessary boundaries in
their lives without creating any discord in the process.
If people didn't get sick, as their thoughts and actions were
pure and good and this reflected in their bodies.
If people realised that all forms of competition were merely a
means to satisfy our inadequacies and human egos and could never
allow for peace on earth.
If people knew they had the power to heal themselves completely
and instantly from any malady, including broken bones, cancer
and the like, just by loving themselves enough and realising they
had the power of God inside them that was far greater than any
treatment!
If people loved others so much that, no matter what they did,
there was no need to forgive, because only love for the other
existed.
If people never compared themselves to others and realised that
we were all different, with our own unique gifts and talents,
and comparisons only created feelings of inferiority or superiority.
If people never felt guilty or disappointed as they realised they
were infinitely loved and there was no threat or insecurity.
If there were no fences or borders as there was no fear, and people
loved to share. If people realised that having more material possessions
than we actually needed was just burdensome and that simple living
gave us great freedom and peace.
If people only ate harmless, organic food and no killing or harm
was done to the Earth or animals in the process.
If people were grateful for everything in their lives, no matter
what the situation, good or bad, and expressed it openly.
If everybody understood the law of the circle - the more love
you give, the more love you get, and vice versa.
If everybody realised that they were a son or daughter of God
or the Divine Principal, and not separate, just a smaller part
of the whole and all connected.
If everybody realised that they had the same powers as the Divine
Way-showers of ages past - because we do, all we have to do is
believe it and live it!
If everybody realised that there was only one God, and that God
was love and we were not separate from it.
If people had no desire to control anybody else, as they had no
fear of the outcome, their trust in their Higher Self was so strong,
they rather allowed it to unfold, knowing and trusting in the
guidance of their own God-Self that was far wiser and more powerful
than their Human-Self.
If everyone felt complete contentment and no separation, judgement,
or superior or inferior feelings.
If people shared what they had, knowing there was plenty more
as they had mastered their God-given talent of manifestation from
the Universal Source. If people decided to respond rather than
react to situations.
If people lived without any fear or struggle and had enough faith
in God or the Divine Principal to know they were safe and all
their needs would be provided for always.
If people only desired to get closer to God, the "I am" in themselves,
and all other outer worldly desires faded as there was nothing
more rewarding, comforting or liberating!
If people realised that death was a choice! Our original blueprint
was immortality of the physical body, shown by Jesus (and other
immortals) at the time of his resurrection.
If people realised that it was not necessary to worship idols
and, far more importantly, to live the same life as those they
idolised.
If people realised there was only one God or Divine Principle
and we were all loved the same, no matter what religion we were
born into, and that status or wealth was irrelevant in the eyes
of God.
If people realised that all they needed to do was focus on loving
themselves, their families and all and everything around them
unconditionally.
If people realised that life was about service to God, in good
harmonious ways that created peace and happiness on our planet.
If everybody saw the Face of God in everybody else - no matter
what colour, creed, race or shape!
If people realised all this ... there would be no prisons, police,
armies, hospitals, old age homes, religions or countries. Wars,
defence budgets, corruption and environmental damage would be
a thing of the past. There would be peace and goodwill on Earth.
Environmental threats would fall away and our beloved planet would
be treated as the sacred, conscious intelligent being that she
is.
Poverty and sickness would not exist, and wealth would be a measure
of kindness, spiritual advancement and service. People would stop
competing and start living through their hearts, with kindness,
tolerance and generosity. People would start to realise that they
are hosts to the Divine Principal and need to behave in a befitting
way.
This is a choice. We can decide to look at everything positively
and be grateful for it. We can change how we live, step by step,
and not be discouraged if we make a mistake, but persevere and
slowly reprogramme our conscious and sub-conscious minds. We can
try every day to better manage our emotions, thoughts, words and
actions, and create harmony to make our world a different place
- the way it used to be and as it was always meant to be.
