~ Motivation of a Humane Being ~

A genuine humane being is best motivated by a genuine deep pure love for life, for all people of Mother Earth and for the Creator of the Cosmos. A good hearted human being who loves life, seeks the truth and desires a better world for all of us should by nature evolve in his or her spiritual growth into being a conscientious humane being; far above and beyond being a two-legged carnivorous human mammal.

A true humane being will have a core character that has true concern, tender care and loving compassion for all living beings. The inner humaneness of a humane being uplifts the soul, enlightens cosmic consciousness and emboldens the spirit to take positive actions that helps others in practical ways. Such a being will raise cosmic consciousness to ever higher levels of understanding and will get personally involved in compassionate action to achieve a good life balance.

Ultimately, an activated humane being will be consciously engaged in helping all of humankind, work to establish a true worldwide social democracy and help bring into being true world peace. in harmony with one’s skills, talents and life experiences.

As Mathama Gandhi stated: “We must be the change we seek in the world.”

~ Creating Life Balance ~

As we evolve into the best version of what we can be we should stay humble, be wise and remain open to learning new ideas, ideals and concepts. We should learn how to achieve a good life balance in order to best serve our basic survival needs, benefit our collective well being and help make life better for all us. We are the dominant species of life upon Mother Earth who have inherited great historical responsibilities as caretakers of Mother Earth and all its creatures. It is all a matter of creating a living balance in natural harmony with all of life because life is for the living.

A delicate life balance in all our ways will help us live in peace, harmony and unity with our own inner soul, with all peoples of all lands and with the Creator. A humane being will have a natural love for all human beings, no matter what the espoused ideology, philosophy or orientation one has, with a deep profound sacred respect for all humane rights, including the right to creative expression. Engaging in daily self-criticism and being open to valid criticism we should criticize core character defects that handicap or prevent spiritual growth yet condemn the sin itself, not the sinner. Do what you can to strongly defend, protect and preserve the sacredness of all life among the living and uphold all humane rights by any and all means mandatory. Evil exists in so many dark hearts because we as a species of life allow it to exist and do not do all we can to combat evil in our daily lives. It takes all of us together to win a good life for all of us.

In the protracted war of life in these troubled times we need to achieve a better personal life balance. Below are five (5) suggestions for doing so:

1. Set your life priorities: Travel a path with heart. Put all your heart into what you feel, think and do. Decide for yourself the most important critical issues in your life and what really matters most to you on a spiritual level. Keep your own physical health, spiritual growth and humane evolution as core concerns in your life. Be conscious of your personal life management so you can make the time to be, do and express all that fulfills your heart, raises self-esteem and creates a loving unity.

2. Drop Unnecessary Relationships: All unhealthy relationships, sick obsessions and harmful addictions should be cast out of your life. Be aware of people, places and things. Choose personal relationships with conscious awareness and wily wisdom. Examine your self and all your relationships. Look at transforming life patterns that are useless, repetitive and bear no fruit. Only get involved in healthy sober and sane relationships that nurture the inner soul, help foster spiritual growth and above all stick to your spiritual principles, especially in times of vile temptations.

3. Protect Your Private Time: Know what inner peace there can be in quiet solitude. Be alone with your spiritual essence. Take the time for study, prayer, meditation on a daily basis. Time is what we make time for, not just what we have to keep as time always moves on. Have a holy hour in the morning to create your day and your daily plan of action. Make sure to maintain proper borders to preserve your integrity, avoid dumb distractions and engage in a daily personal inventory to help sharpen your spiritual tools. Take care of your own self, do not neglect your personal needs and let others live out and control their own lives. Life has a way of going on within you and without you. To thy own self be true!

4. Accept Help to Balance Your Life: Recruit other interested people who share your spiritual principles to help you create a sense of community to reach your common goals. Create a strong support network of professionals, friends and family. Maintain a regular support group to keep group morale up, get feedback, share life lessons and better social skills. We need as much help as we can get from others in our lives for us all to win.

5. Plan Play, Fun and Relaxation: Go for a long walk, have a picnic in the park or go on a bike ride. Cultivate happy hobbies, get into a work out routine and just exercise your heart. Or just be still, clear your mind and revel in the inner beauty of your being as you breathe deep in and out to soothe the soul. We are humane beings, not human doings. We must daily combat self-generated stress, anxiety and needless worry. Let go of your inner fears, any bitter resentments and remember to take time to be child-like and play!

~ Personal Relationships ~

To live in a delicate graceful balance in our personal lives we need to first work on creating life balance in all our personal relationships:

1. A balance within us as spiritual beings,

2. A balance with others in our personal lives, and

3. A balance between ourselves and the Creator;

Many people’s personal relationships are all out-of-balance, in chaos and turmoil. For example, some folks get involved in intimate sexual relationships to satisfy animal lusts without any real concern for the sensitive emotions, fragile feelings and personal attachments of the one with whom one is intimate. A human animal is not just a piece of meat, game to be captured, devoured and then its bones tossed away afterwards. Life is sacred and we should treasure the sacredness of our being, not give it away or rent it out like another commodity in the meat market. Pure love can last a lifetime and weather the storms of life; the climax of sex is for a few fleeting seconds. Know with whom you are sharing the essence of your soul.

Humane beings share the sacred connection of life and exhibit a genuine humane empathy when our life energies go out daily to help others in real ways, not a weak liberal sympathy. Being humane we try to change the things we can for the better, help bring ease to disease and strive to transform what needs to undergo a real deep transformation, not being content with mere reform of that which needs real radical transformation. One cannot reform a dying corpse or revive a dying civilization. If we do not take care of business in time humankind as we know it may not live out this present century and could easily self-destruct.

~ Trinity of a Humane Being ~

As a global citizen, the humane being is a three-part being in the trinity of the mind, body and soul and thrives when there is a good life balance in all these three related aspects in order to achieve:

~ Internal unity within as humane beings

~ External unity with the people, and

~ Unity with the Cosmic Creator

The mind is more than a brain encased inside a human skull. It can conceive of the infinite vastness of the cosmos one minute then zero in on the smallest detail of a flower petal the next. The body is the physical host for our beingness, an outer reflection of who are we, but we are not only blood, flesh and bones. The soul is of the quintessence of what and who we are and is always with us here now in our present incarnation. If there is reincarnation it stays with us lifetime after lifetime. You are free to make up your own mind and come to your own logical conclusions, but when we are in tune with our eternal spirit it will be our lifelong trustworthy guide, increase our native intuition and can help us map out our pathways in life for our collective success.

In connected reality, real life works in the trinity of threes and is usually not a frozen polarity of extremes of yes-no, right-wrong, left-right, black-white but is more intense, intricate and intertwined in the context of connected reality. Ponder upon the integrated trinities of the Creator, the creature and creation; parent-adult-child; birth, life, death; mind-body-soul!

In connected reality, all objective existing realities outside the mind are ultimately intrinsically interconnected, not existing in our subjective mind but only reflected within it. What ‘is’ simply ‘is’ whether we recognize its connectivity to us or not. We are connected up with each other in this big business of life together as one species of life.

~ Progressive Politics ~

In today’s world, Chairman Mao’s maxim that politics is war without bloodshed and war is politics with bloodshed still rings true. For better or worse, we are all greatly influenced by politics on different levels to different degrees. All of us are directly impacted by official electoral politics whether we relate to politics or not on an individual level.

Government-based politics is the main way that societies govern themselves in order to avoid the usual mass murder and mayhem of war, yet traditional politics has its own madness of power lust, ego mania, selfish greed and political corruption. For many people politics is a dirty word that turns people off in disgust,

We need a fresh new kind of politics, a positive people’s politics, with mass community education being a central focal point along with increasing mass literacy, mass Internet access and having all our political community efforts based upon meeting our basic community survival needs for food, clothing, shelter, health care and quality education with a vision for spiritual liberation.

Archaic naïve notions of the left-wing vs. right-wing in social-political matters need to be purged from our social consciousness with an emphasis on seeking the truth from wherever and whoever it comes from without blanket prejudice and false assumptions. The truth is in the center of life. The great eagle needs both wings to fly high above the maddening crowd and see the larger landscape of life.

We should be active participants in one political party or another; stay aware of current events on the local, regional and global levels; and create an infrastructure of local community survival programs. Be geared up for mass participation in electoral politics by being registered to vote, stay constantly aware of what is happening on the immediate local level and always be working on getting out the vote on Election Days in order to elect good responsible candidates who can best advocate for us and represent our bosom interests and life priorities.

~ Ancient Wisdom in the New Age ~

We cannot afford the asinine arrogance of any so-called New Age when many billions of people in real life around the globe are still living in the old Dark Ages. If the New Age is to have any common sense wisdom its spiritual leaders and proponents must clearly comprehend that many of its core teachings came from the crystals of Ancient Wisdom. We need to remember and relearn what has already been discovered by others before us centuries ago. Simplify the complex, do not complicate the simple. We should not confuse the present advances in science and technology with actual advances in our spiritual growth and our on-going evolution as an endangered species of life.

In this new Millennium the New Age can contribute to our cosmic consciousness and give us new ways of looking at old things. It can heighten our perception, enhance our conception and spur us to new bold compassion action. Sadly, some of the New Age venues are profit-driven materialist-capitalist phony scams and devious schemes headed by confused charlatans and hidden hypocrites. Beware of false prophets, priests with robes, fat gutless gurus and devious puppet masters!

No one has cornered the market on truth, wisdom and revelation. These are natural gifts bestowed upon us by the Creator of the Cosmos! You yourself must find your own truth within your humane beingness in a way that works best for you. Do your own homework, be your own leader and follow spiritual principles, ethical values and fundamental truths, not mere individuals with hidden agendas.

~ Balances and Imbalances ~

In today’s restless wild world there are many great fundamental imbalances in the overall earth environment. The north and south poles are melting, climate change is real and the planet is in peril. We now live in an interconnected global society in all spheres of human life: politics, economics and military systems. There are now deep grave social imbalances between the various peoples of this planet based upon one’s personal identity with a given sex, race, nation, tribe or other personal orientation. These central corporate state imbalances and surface identities result in unjust wars, regional conflicts and the great class war between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’.

To say we are all one can be true in an abstract way on the macro-cosmic and micro-quantum realms since we are all beings of the same stuff. We can dream of being unified in true oneness in the eternal moment of HERE NOW, true oneness among the human family is the long-range envisioned goal, but it is not true today for all of us living in connected reality.

Open your eyes wide to the human family’s vast diversity, obvious differences and marked discrepancies. Today there are still competing economic classes, raging class struggles and critical core contradictions in existence. There is justice and injustice; there is right and wrong. Innocent people suffer in silence, languish in prison cages and die alone without comfort. Do not pretend to be naïve, colorblind and rush to judgment based upon mere surface appearances on a lower subconscious level. The ideal is to make the bulk of the deep subconscious more and more top conscious on a coherent high level of cognition so that we are more aware of our inner motivations as to why we are the way we are in our cosmic consciousness.

If all of us were one united humanity we would already have true social peace in the world today. Every child would be raised in a loving family, able to reach out for a clean glass of water and have a safe bed to rest in at night. The ideal of true peace on Earth would be in our hearts all year round, not just around Christmas time in December with an emphasis on capitalist commercialism. We must strive to bring about a real balance in our lives and stretch out our beings as much as humanely possible within the restrictions of the present social limitations, harsh economic constraints and spiritual handicaps we are dealing with as best we can with keen intelligence, fertile imagination and a cosmic consciousness that comprehends the big picture.

All of us are intimately interconnected on level or another in a multi-dimensional connected reality. Do not confuse an ideal goal with an actual manifested reality. Yes, we should continue to strive for true oneness as one human race yet not be under any illusions or buy into any false fantasy. Mere words alone do not create objective connected realities. Mere sublime consciousness without action is wishful thinking. Consciousness without action is only esoteric knowledge irrelevant to the masses of people throughout the world.

Wisdom is freely given from above and should be freely given to all who seek wisdom free-of-charge! No one being owns wisdom to himself. The value of wisdom is in its being shared with others who seek wisdom, truth and beauty.

~ Being Conscious Beings ~

For many millions of people worldwide the awesome Power of the Internet and other communication devices has transformed our day-to-day social life and whole culture. It has revitalized the nearly lost art of letter writing, increased general social literacy among people and has greatly impacted on the global visibility of many progressive social movements designed to create change for a better world.

In some ways it has brought about a gap, division and separation between those with access to high-technology and those who are not even literate, able to read and write. We must bridge the gulf between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-not’. Internet access to the wealth of knowledge available on the Internet should be free, neutral and universal.

For those of us who are blessed with the luxury of reliable Internet access we should balance our lives between being online communicating with others worldwide, being offline spending quality time with our loved ones and being inline nurturing our own inner soul in deep prayer, meditation and reflection.

We are creative conscious social creatures who have the real potential to transform ourselves and our own whole environment for the better. We can consciously change the external world and our internal world within in the same dynamic life process. All of us need to wake up, activate our souls and personally participate in creating a true global democracy to help balance and govern our lives. In the end, we get the kind of government we deserve by our own personal participation, not by whining on the sidelines of life but living our lives as conscious liberated humane beings.

No one soul all alone can correct or bring into balance all the existing imbalances in the world as a single solitary individual, though, it all begin within each of us as a single humane being. We can bring a delicate balance into our individual personal lives, let that serve as an example for others to do the same and commit ourselves to take compassionate action to make our cosmic consciousness manifest in the real world. It takes all of us to come together with love for the people and realize our common dreams.

Knowledge is the food of the soul. The soul must be fed wisdom in order to grow, blossom and mature into ever higher levels of cosmic consciousness that stimulates compassionate action! Wisdom is applied knowledge and withers on the vine if it is not put into social practice. As humane beings we should be humane rights activists who are motivated by a pure love for the people. Leaders must lead and advance forward to help create a new humane world for all of us here now and for future generations to come if we do not become extinct.

“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.” ~ Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)

We must come together as humane beings, unite for our common survival and strive to be as one species of life, not as a race, nation, tribe or sex, but as one united family of humankind.
