QUESTION OF THE DAY: SELF-REFLECTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVAL

Thank you for your comment, AC. Interesting, isn't it, that to grow up in harmonious surroundings should cause problems later. It should be a stable start to life. But as the level of spirituality is so low on this planet, it means that one can also be easily duped, or led into depression when you encounter the "real world", or make one incapable of standing up for oneself when under attack ... and also the whole education system needs to wise up to educating children in a way which STRENGTHENS THEM rather than dumbing them down and forcing them to be passive and quelling natural curiosity. So much to change.

It must be quite a shock, I was already in that world so it was just business as usual for me, I didn't know any better back then. I see a similar thing happening with my little dog, he's never encountered 'violence' so when other dogs snarl and go for him he gets really confused. He jumps back with a really puzzled look on his face as if asking wtf are you doing? He just wants to play all the time.

OP do you think that there's such a thing as Human Nature? Or is it just Human Programming?

Interesting to hear about your dog, AC. It is indeed a great shock for those who are used to peace to then encounter violence, and the great challenge is then HOW TO REACT, because allowing violence to continue - through one's own passivity or love of peace - is not high moral ground.

Sometimes it is necessary to "enter the den of inequity" to really see what is going on there, and this involves not giving away that one is actually "of the light". This sort of action is necessary to understand the depths to which humans can fall. And without this knowledge, it is not possible to turn the situation around. There are many now who are in this situation - they possess the knowledge, and they are, so to speak, angels disguised as devils. But all this will become clear as more is revealed.

Thank you for your question, AC, which is "OP do you think that there's such a thing as Human Nature? Or is it just Human Programming?"

There are some people who believe that humans are innately good. When we look at babies, this certainly seems to be the case. Adverse programming - whether this occurs through unloving, supportive parents, or through the media or through schooling - would often seem to be the downfall of this "good nature".

Yet there is more to this. There is deliberate propaganda in place - through religions are other institutions - that we are helpless, and powerless, and that it is our main aim to struggle through life which inevitably ends in death. We are not taught that we are sons and daughters of the DIVINE, or that we have an important and specific task to complete here on earth. Neither are we told that this is only one life in millions of lives, if we choose it. Neither are we told that we are always on the receiving end of the actions we initiate (some call this karma: it is the cosmic law that we will reap what we sew, because we are all ONE). And indeed some souls are here on earth TO WORK OUT THAT KARMA, and to DISCOVER THEIR DIVINITY, and to CORRECT PREVIOUS CRIMES THROUGH CONTINUING SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. Some will make it, some won't.

So, in a nutshell, we are cut off from our DIVINE NATURE. Knowledge of this would change everything. Human nature which is uncorrupted will naturally strive for increasing perfection and spiritual growth. This has been driven out of us.

Thank you again for your participation, AC. Your questioning is part of the learning process which is so important for everyone right now.

This is a very time question: it is all the more poignant in this time of lockdown (also self-imposed, in the final analysis ...)


What self-imposed barriers have so far prevented you from living life fully?

This is a good one - so many constructs and beliefs which prevent us from seeing WHAT IS COMMON TO US ALL, and WHAT WOULD HELP US ALL:

What will change when you release your ideas of right and wrong in favour of what works for you and for humanity as a collective?

This question is very important: our whole lives will change once it is is clear that life does not end with "death":

In view of the fact that we enter this life with nothing and leave with nothing except the insights we have acquired, what is your dream?

This is a very important question: what is divine knowledge, and where is it to be found? It can be retrieved from INSIDE OURSELVES. It is a still, small voice inside ourselves which acts in our best interest and provides advice to those who ask for it, who listen to it, and who act upon it. Some people might call this INTUITION or GUT FEELING. If you are unfamiliar with any of this, close your eyes for a while and simply ask WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW. The words, ideas or visuals you then receive will be important.

How would you act differently if you were convinced that you have access to divine knowledge?

BUMP or BEAM ME UP? - Both good. Thank you

What do you see and feel when you look into a mirror?

And here it is necessary to point out that THE WHOLE WORLD IS OUR MIRROR ...and what we see in the WORLD MIRROR are parts of ourselves.

The Dalai Lama agrees with you OP -

''The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.''

Thank you for your thoughts, AC. We can discuss all problems the world has in a very rational and practical and logical way, finding solutions, making laws, persecuting criminals, making provisions and cutting back to prevent present problems, AND YET THESE PRACTICAL MEASURES WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY IF WE WERE ALL AT A HIGHER SPIRITUAL LEVEL, BECAUSE A GLOBAL POPULATION WITH A HIGHER SPIRITUAL LEVEL WOULD NEVER ALLOW PROBLEMS TO DEVELOP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

This is why our focus - every one of us - must be on our personal spiritual progress - a journey towards increased compassion, increased integrity, increased critical discernment, and increased CONCERN FOR ALL, AS PART OF A GLOBAL FAMILY. If people understand this, they will stop comparing themselves to others and concentrate on their very own personal path of self perfection.

How would we know OP?

Thank you for your question, AC, which is HOW WOULD WE KNOW THAT WE ARE PART OF THE DIVINE? There are several things which occur to me here.

The first is: WHAT IS THE DIVINE that we are part of? The Divine could be classified as something GREATER THAN OURSELVES WHICH WORKS EFFECTIVELY BUT - due to our lack of knowledge or experience - MYSTERIOUSLY.

If we focus upon growth, for example on a bean sprouting, a small green shoot suddenly and mysteriously appears above the soil, which then develops leaves, and within a couple of weeks it has reached amazing heights and is almost a high as ourselves. Why is this? Because the bean is not a forget-me-not, which is programmed to grow only a few centimeters tall.

Each plant starts from a seed which grows in accordance with its DIVINE BLUEPRINT. Why would it be any different for us? We also grown into human beings, but we don't always grow into the SAME HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE SAME SKILLS AND POTENTIAL. Our potential is UNIQUE and part of our DIVINE PROGRAMMING. It is up to us whether we recognize that potential, or indeed to recognize the HAND OF THE DIVINE in our daily lives.

This comes not only in the form of the divine plan, but also in the form of OPPORTUNITIES which are placed into our path way by DIVINE HAND. What is this "hand"? Chances or opportunities may seem like CHANCE, but when looked at carefully in hindsight, it is possible to see that they are DELIBERATE, in order to further our learning process.

Some people put this into the category of "amazing coincidences". Our unseen guides (also representatives of the DIVINE) can and do arrange such meetings or "coincidences". "Coincidental" meetings can lead to incredible "synergy effects", especially when meeting new people with whom one shares ideas.

Those who are very hesitant to share, or who shy away from anything new which is placed in their path, will not move forward at a fast rate. They will consider themselves small and insignificant. This underestimation holds them in a certain place, and it prevents them from entering into the DIVINE PLAN. They see themselves as separate rather than something which cumulates and results in something magnificent. I hope that this may shed some light on what this question is referring to.
