Greed, Ugly Greed

Those with sufficient means are not the only ones who are greedy.  I have seen many poor people that were greedy.  In fact, it is one of the most common vices to keep people poor, greed!  Greed mixed with laziness is the most common combination that I have seen that keeps people poor.  The heavens often respond in direct correlation to the type of person we are.  If we are lazy, the heavens will be lazy with us.  If we give excuses, the heavens will give excuses with us.  If we are generous, the heavens will also be generous with us, in direct proportion to our generosity, and that also according to how pure our motives are, etc.

Perfect Love

Perfect love allows the blessings to flow from Heaven.  The more selfless we are, the more we share with others, the more the heavens will share with us!

Being Humble

 

It can be so difficult to address problems in today's society.  But, if we want to get the results, then we need to see things as they are, without excuse.  This is the first step to change.

Good Advice

 I have been working so hard this winter, that I have little time to write or make videos.  So, I would like to share a few ideas for contemplation and practice:

1.  Get in touch with Mother Earth.  No matter your age, take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the earth, climb a tree, touch the grass, walk along a beach, swim in a lake, find that connection once again.

2.  Replenish the earth.  The earth provides everything for us.  It is only kindness and respect that we replenish her.  Plant a tree, pick up litter, clean the water, grow a garden.  If we care for her, the earth can provide more than enough for all!

3.  Take responsibility.  It is up to us to be the change in the world that we want to see.  We cannot control others, but we can control ourselves, and be a good example to others.  Be accountable for everything within your reach!

4.  Stand up for what is right.  There are many people who live in suffering, and are only waiting for our voice.  Do no harm to others, but alleviate all suffering.

5.  Speak only truth.  Never lie.  Always speak the truth with gentleness and kindness both.  Only the truth will give the solution to all situations.

6.  Learn cause and effect.  Most all problems can be avoided by the simple things we do each day.  Many problems arise because of the cumulative effects of our consistent actions.  Therefore, consistently make good choices, and good results will be consistent in your life.

7.  Learn all you can.  Never stop learning.  Find solutions to every problem, so you can help your family, your friends, your community, and all people!

8.  All things are possible.  Always be positive!  A positive spirit will uplift and encourage all people.  It is imperative to think positively to accomplish the greatest good possible.

9.  Forgive.  No matter what happens, forgive!  Let the person have it.  Retaliation will only destroy.  Always use good measures to improve life!

10.  Love.  Love is the dominant creative power.  Love of others will allow for us all to work together in creating peace.  Make all your actions, all your speech, all your thoughts, and all your emotions Love!
