A Lifestyle for the 21st Century
There are some basic things you can do in your own life to transform yourself and the world into the next level of evolution. We are rising from the animal consciousness into the human. Take the next step. Here are some actions that can help facilitate your evolution:
1.
GO WITHIN. Take some time each day to explore your inner
dimensions. Do some daily prayer and meditation to cultivate and expanded
awareness of the Source of creation, That which sustains creation and
That into which creation is transformed. Mere philosophy cannot compare
to the actual experience of that inner dimension. Put in the time; in
the beginning its tough but the effort is rewarded a hundred times.
2. GET MOVING! Do some daily exercise: take a walk, a
run, go for a swim, a bike ride or whatever moves you. It’s a great
way to reduce stress- the major cause of heart disease- and have some
fun. While your doing the exercise try to focus, as much as possible on
you breath; this will ground and center you, and get you beyond the mundane
thought-world.
3. STEP AWAY from smoking, alcohol and non-medicinal
drugs. There's no better single thing you can do for your body and awareness
than this. There is plenty of energy in your body and nervous system for
everything you want to do. Nature did an incredible thing in creating
you, don't screw it up. Also, it’s a great way to make a better
world: cut down demand and you'll help create new crops in the world and
do away with the major funding for crime and other covert activities.
4. READ. The thoughts of humanity's greatest thinkers
are available to us all. Turn off the incessant talking heads and spend
some time with people who learned to think for
5. FIND YOUR CONNECTION. The earth and everything on it-that includes you- is linked by the universal creative urge. Expand your awareness of reality beyond the physical knee-jerk reaction. Step back and watch the cosmic flow of energy pulse through your body, mind and emotions. Its and incredible show and flow. Follow it to the Source and…that’s true release.
6. TEACH RESPECT FOR THE EARTH AND ALL LIVING THINGS. That is a bumper
sticker I put on my suitcase and into my mind. Dwell on it and see what it resonates into in your life. I personally don't eat animals or harm others - as much as I am able to be conscious of. Try living a day, or an hour, or even a minute in without harming others in deed, word and thought. It’s a challenge but someone- about 2000 years ago- said it was a way to become perfect.
