Problems of Humanity, What and Why
James Simmons	Posted on: Wednesday 09 January 2008 6:00:34 am
	It it not complex but really pretty easy to understand. We live in a world of division. Each has his/her own space and viewpoint therefrom. Advance this a bit and we find groups of people, families, citizens, races...etc. All together, yet apart in a sense. Advance this in time and we find groups with very different philosophies in all areas of life. These differences, as many as there are groups of people, may be seen by the objective eye as "problems" that people have. The challenge here is to expand this theme to discover what else might be just out of sight, to refine and restate, to simplify and to act out, thorough ourselves the beginnings of a remedy. A question to begin: We tend to want things. Is this part of any pattern which may be a "problem"?
Is there a Problem?

	If Energy follows Thought then won't focussing on "problems" just create more of them? Just a humble question... Light Love and Power
Just a Question?

Perhaps this is an answer

	Synthesis - A Vision for the Future Infinity I, 266. The great law of the oneness of life unites all Being. The oneness of life in Cosmos is expressed by the fiery impulse...The one life in its manifest power sets up the chain of manifestations which are linked together. The endless interlinking process is confirmed in the tension of creation..." The true nature of all things, including Humanity, is Divine. Everything that exists is part of an endless chain of existences. What is Humanity's task in this chain? A very wise person recently quoted a Sufi saying: "...the heart is a mirror whose main task is to reflect God, and that our job in life is simply to keep polishing the mirror." Humanity, the microcosm eventually will reflect the macrocosm--its true identity all along--the sparks return to the One Flame and in doing so, transmute and bring light to all the planetary substance that is contacted or used in the process. What wondrous things the Future holds for Humanity. Perhaps it is wise to remind ourselves of the largest picture of The Synthesis of Being we can envision, to insure that the steps we plan and take are in line with that ultimate vision. In the meantime, we are here now in the present and all that wondrous glory seems very far away. What Vision for the Future can bring Humanity together. What common synthetic vision and Desire of the Heart can we share that will ultimately assist the evolutionary process? "What humanity determines to have, it ever succeeds in achieving. This is an occult law, for desire is as yet the strongest force in the world..." EA 579. When Humanity's desire is for the Brotherhood of Mankind to be made manifest, based on the recognition of the essential unity of the Higher nature or soul of each unit of the human kingdom, then perhaps the Will of the Whole can begin to work through this organized, integrated Brotherhood of Souls. "Desire works from and through the material form upwards; Will works downwards into form, bending form consciously to divine purpose." EA 583 "The secret of the will lies in the recognition of the divine nature of man. Only this can evoke the true expression of the will. It has in fact to be evoked by the soul, as it dominates the human mind and controls the personality. The secret of the will is also closely tied in with the recognition of the unconquerable nature of goodness and the inevitability of the ultimate triumph of good." EA 580 "..."...certain concepts, relationships and parallels which may...lay a foundation for future teaching around the year 2025. That is the mode whereby all revelation comes. A thought is given; a symbol described; an idea portrayed. Then, as the minds of men ponder up it and the intuitives of the world pick up the thought, it serves as a seed thought which eventually comes to fruition with the presentation and the unfolding of a revelation which serves to lead the race of men nearer to their goal." EA 589 The sense of Synthesis, even though we are told it will not bloom into full expression until the next Solar System, may be what is needed at this time for humanity's progress. Each person will understand the idea of the Whole in their own way with their own developed capacities. Some will begin to get a sense of the Brotherhood of Mankind as a Whole part of the planetary life; still others will see the entire planetary life as a whole. on up the whole scale of the Hierarchy of Life through our Solar System, the cosmic intermediaries connected with us, the One About Whom Naught May Be Said, and finally with the ONE ABSOLUTE, the Boundless Immutable Principle. Can we cooperate with this process by bringing this idea of the Unity of the Whole (however each one will define and express it) down into our planetary life in language that is suitable for not only the evolutionary age or stage of individuals or groups, but for the type of mind of the recipient. This might require communicating in a universal language that is understandable by everyone and in particular those members of the New Group of World Servers who have not been exposed to esoteric study, at least in this lifetime. If the New Group of World Servers is a model for the One Humanity (and certainly in the United States of America--in that 'melting pot' as DK mentions, there are members of this group from every nation, race and culture), this sense of the 'seed thought' of the Synthesis of the future will be easily ascertained by them and radiated outwards into the body of humanity. Perhaps this will be the True Temple of Power on the Physical Plane.
Patterned Thinking and Behavior
Glistening Deepwater	Posted on: Wednesday 09 April 2008 6:00:20 pm
	The tendency to view the world and everything on it as objects in space and to believe that the world of perceived form is all there is to know of could conceivably be considered a problem. The materialist, empiricist world view fails to take in to account the fundamental underlying nature of reality and this lack of vision has led to confusion about the true nature of ourselves, our relationships with each other and with the cosmos. Without the understanding that all the 'things' which we believe exist separately to ourselves are in fact of the nature of objects of perception and only exist because we have our attention focussed upon them, we fall into the false assumption that there is a world 'out there' which is somehow separate and different to ourselves. This set of false assumptions is the basis upon which we formulate our relational behavior toward all that we perceive as separate, and different. When we are in this position there arises difficulty in accepting the fact of our inherent oneness.It appears, from our limited understanding, that there are things in existence which are somehow wrong or unfathomable and about which we appear powerless to change or to truly know. It is only when we make a dedicated effort to realize the true and transcendent nature of reality that the Light dawns upon us in such a way that our minds can perceive the interconnectedness of all that is. Once the individual has reached a level of understanding that they are indeed a part of a larger whole the desire for ( or wanting of ) things can subside, and the knowing that all needs are automatically provided for in due course allows one to interact with reality in a holistic and inclusive manner. Setting an example of living with this understanding and endeavoring to communicate ways to reach this level of knowing could potentially be of enormous benefit to humanity if enough people were able to do it.
If Energy follows thought then if we focus on problems do we not create more of them?

	As we all know energy does indeed follow thought and if we focus on the problems of humanity with good intention and with the intended thought of looking at possible solutions to the problems we should be creating a thoughtform of goodwill. This goodwill thoughtform should lessen, if not stop, any tendency for our thoughts to create more of the problems. Either that or it will be a case of we have to make problems worse by thinking about them before we can make them better by thinking of solutions. Another way to ensure that we do not cause more problems would be to ensure we spend more time and thought on the possible solutions and spreading goodwill than what we do looking at the problems themselves. That way we should be sending more energy along the lines of solution than we send along the lines of the problem itself.
