Why is it that humanity has not yet made the transition from a materialistic society to one based on principles of harmony, respect and love? I believe it is because most human beings have been living in ignorance of the truth. We may have acquired much knowledge and information, but the majority of people on Earth do not have a clear understanding about their own existence. Thus, although the solutions to the world's problems are actually in our hands, we cannot see them because we are blinded by our fixed self-perception.
Every human being possesses a creative capacity. Pure energy is always emanating from the source of the universe, and each of us receives a steady supply of this energy. How we use it from moment to moment determines our own future and the future of the world. This universal energy has infinite potential. Each of us assigns a shape to that energy by means of our thoughts and words. This is the process of creation.
The thoughts, words and emotions that human beings emit each moment are constantly streaming forth from their bodies as creative energy. Each thought and word holds its own unique vibration. And those having a similar frequency band together to form a "creative field." When the energy of a particular creative field has accumulated to a critical point, it manifests itself on the visible plane in one way or the other.
From what I observe, there are many different kinds of creative fields. For example, there are creative fields with positive energy, such as fields for compassion, optimism, dignity, sincerity, courage, gratitude, peace and forgiveness. On the other hand, there are creative fields with negative energy, such as anger, fear, pessimism, anxiety, self-hate, suicide, discrimination and revenge.
As a creative field continues to grow in size, it exerts a stronger and stronger influence on people emitting similar thoughts. It will affect people's decisions, behavior, relationships and health conditions. And on a larger scale, it could even manifest in the form of war or natural disaster.
Words, in particular, are a concentrated form of energy and a powerful means of creation. Much has been written and said about the creative power of words. But it seems to me that few people truly understand this power. Words are actually alive. Words attract people. Words motivate people. Words are infectious. And words also have sharp edges. Words can give life. And words can even kill.
We must take responsibility for every word we utter. Our first step is to steadily monitor the words we spew carelessly out of habit. Next, we should train ourselves to intentionally replace the negative words with positive ones. With firm determination, we should resolve to create an entirely new habit, by rerecording only positive words over the old tape playing in our conscious and subconscious mind. By doing so, we can change the outcome of our own future, and at the same time, pour positive energy into humanity's collective consciousness.
The point I want to emphasize is this:
Everything that happens and manifests in this world is of our own making. It is the responsibility of each and every member of humanity. The pattern seen in an individual is reflected in that person's family, which in turn is reflected in his community, in his country and ultimately in the world. Everything starts from the individual.
The individuals' level of consciousness determines the level of consciousness of humanity as a whole. If one person achieves higher consciousness, the collective consciousness of humanity is uplifted by that much.
As I see it, the choices that people make fall into three broad categories according to their level of consciousness. These three levels are: the materialistic consciousness, the spiritual consciousness and what I call the "universal consciousness."
When we are at the level of materialistic consciousness, we make choices based on ego and greed for the best interest of ourselves, our own families and countries.
Then, when we are at the next level, namely the spiritual consciousness, we chose to share with others. We respect and love others and treat them as we would treat ourselves.
An even higher level is the universal consciousness. When we have entered this level, there is no longer any separation between the self and others. We are in oneness with nature and all of life. We will have restored our original power to heal ourselves and our planet.
Up till now, humanity has been driven by materialistic consciousness for the most part. In fear of scarcity, we have continued to pursue material gain from the outer world, taking from others and depleting Earth's natural resources. If we continue on this path, our world will no doubt be headed for destruction.
So which way should we go forward? If we are to make the right decisions and change the course of humanity, each of us must evolve our consciousness from materialistic to spiritual, and eventually to universal consciousness. Yes, humanity is entering the age of conscious evolution, and we must guide it consciously and purposefully.
In order to do so, we must ask ourselves the ultimate questions: "Who am I?" and "What is the meaning of my existence on Earth?" Each and every one of us must face up to these inevitable questions and find a clear answer to them. To know one's true self is the key to understanding the mysteries of the cosmos. In other words, if we delve deep into the nature of consciousness, we would begin to see the whole picture of the vast universe.
The true essence of our life is connected to the source of the universe. When we rediscover that connection and align our intentions with the harmonious universal intention, we will be supported by a marvelous influx of a higher-dimensional universal energy, which cannot be accessed otherwise.
So let us believe in our potential for building a peaceful and sustainable future for all life on Earth. As more and more people contribute to the creative field of our positive vision with their intentions and positive words, it will surely grow larger and more powerful. Together, we can overturn the old destructive patterns, and humanity shall evolve to new heights.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.

That some who even thought these great teache taught each person to become THE SPIRIT of the universe not far from what you say, but totally different from Creating Heaven on Earth except what you say that we will have heaven on earth when each person is self realized.
So let us believe in our potential for building a peaceful and sustainable future for all life on Earth. Yes, righteousness and grace was taught 2011 years ago by Christ, 24011 years ago by Buddha and 4011 years ago by Krishna.
But not for the purpose of making Heaven on Earth. That each person save themselves which save the world by becoming THE SPIRIT and knowing mankind is but their own spirit. It temptations and tresspasses are but our temptations and tresspasses. It is a degree and result of what you say, but not quit what you say. You seem to miss the FREE WILL and right action for becoming the SPIRIT. Not for man for GOD

Instead of saving the energy, save lives and have no need for filling the roadways wasting commuter time. We continue to rent office space when we could save energy by what 90% of all office workers. Cleaning up the air and preventing the damage to life and resources.
We could grow our own food close the the source of consumption, like we did less than 20 years ago before monopoly market share started growing tomatoes a mile high in colorado. Ever eaten a family farm market tomato, you can cut with a dull knife.
Sounds like you probaly know of Ian Mcharg and Design with Nature. What happend to intelligence of the 1970's.
I too have lost my only child and think I am more concerned with others children's future. I guess once you love you know love and not self motivation and greed
P.S. Your language suggest you are far more dangerous than any religion. You dismiss people who disagree with you as "nuts" and suggest that the Abrahamic religions cannot coexist or even exist. We do have a pretty convincing record to look to of people who have tried to eradicate religion. There is nothing to suggest any of their efforts brought us closer to peace.
Secular=/= Islam
what does cause change? not a sermon, not advice but a desire to become a sincere seeker of truth or at least into these mysteries of life.
it appears to become that sincere seeker, we need a moment of not knowing, to go back to zero and give up the idea that we know. our ego will scream and resist but until we go back to almost zero we will as you state be ignorant of the truth.
now the good news the universe makes sure in this life or another we go back to zero maybe many zeros on this path into the discovery of our real self.
I suspect you have had that moment in your life that you did not share here. no one is going to be changed by your words only your actions and their experiences over time.
tell us your moments that led you to make such statements about reality. souls will evolve to new heights in spite of humanity. the universe of spiritual "laws" demands it.
our american war like competitive materialistic culture is self destructing. thank the universe for that. that is the good news. the universe gives us perfect feedback but our awareness sees not.
from my awareness spiritual awareness is a higher level of awareness than universal or cosmic consciousness. awareness is primary consciousness is an expression of awareness ie isness.
But "we go back to zero" is quite contrary to my understanding of Karma. GOD reigns down on the Good and Evil. Righteousness of good over evil is the long battle of working towards nuetral karm. You do bad and guess what. You don't start a zero, you start at where you are minus the relative difference.
By Grace "all men will receive eternal life", yes, the "last shall be first", but they have to get there. Start unprovoked wars and Bush-Cheney-Wineberger-Rumsfeld have some serious work to do to neutralize this Karma. I am doubtful in this life.
But as a Kriya Yogi. It is possible.
Thank you, my sister.
We have the power to feed and cloth everyone; and even greatly imrpove the quality of life of those that think they are rich because they can only compare themselves to the poor (yes, even great wealth is relative).
Compared to the life we all could and should be living, even the wealthiest man is horribly poor. And no amount of owning and hording things will ever make him as wealthy as he would be from a world made for the greater good.
We would produce unimaginable technological advancements, find cures for every cancer, and have little or no crime if we (collectively) simply decided to share everything.
We've been beaten down for so many centuries that we've become deaf and blind. We can no longer see the TRUE reality underneath what we've been brainwashed to beilieve is "the real world."
The "real world" form of thinking nearly gave America a fourth-world economy. Strangely, it was the unrealistic optimism of a defiant American public (led by an unlikely President) that pulled us from total ruin.
I know they say that this is BS...Until, of course, one of them contracts a disease that would have been cured by some uniquely brilliant kid stuck in Watts, California....(Had he been given the proper education).
You need to reevaluate your parameters.
Peel back the layers of thought. Rely not on mentation as the way to access that which is ineffable and cannot be described or explained in words. Peel back those layers of thought that do not nor cannot define the ineffable. And then the wordless, speechless, unspeakable emerges.
Do we find then the nature of consciousness or the whole picture of the vast universe?
We have not the words to tell.
The Singularity is near. Quantumâ„¢ be upon you.
But if you have two brain cells to rub together, I recommend you skip everything else she wrote. Her theories about human behavior are embarrassingly childish, and so obviously wrong, that if you read them first you would probably dismiss her as another new-age crackpot and stop reading.
