When I sat down to write this I wanted to talk about death and dying, and how to prepare for ‘a Noble Death’.
But then I realized that the proper way to approach the end of this mortal experience was to have led a full and proper Life, one filled with a greater purpose, filled with joy, laughter, with prosperity and true friends.
So this is what I want to share with you -
First, Life IS for living... joyfully and fully!
Few of us are born to be renunciates / hermits / monks and nuns abstaining from all the abundance of Creation.
Quite to the contrary, we have chosen to walk this Path as ‘house-holders’, fully embracing the guidance of Spirit while living a Life of ethical integrity, lovingly and joyfully.
This means that we do not attack and belittle others... we do not exploit nor abuse others... nor do we hurt and exploit the planet.
The rule is to live in harmony and respect.
Secondly, we are to be ‘harmless’ to self and others.
This means that we do not abuse our bodies, or our minds and emotions.
And equally, we do not allow others to hurt or abuse us [and here we have to have good boundaries, for there are many who would use force to take what is rightfully ours, including our human rights !]
Thirdly, be aware of greed and the abuse of power, for these are signs of the corruption of heart and soul.
There are far too many leaders and those in positions of influence who feel themselves to be ‘superior’, and whose ego leads them to care less about the consequences of their actions.
To them I will remind that ‘just because you can does not mean you should’... and further ‘that you too will die, and your body will rot just like everyone else. The difference is where your corrupted self will end up, and how this will shape your next incarnation’...
There is NO escaping Karma !
And for those who simply follow and support such leaders, institutions, or businesses, know this well - Karma will hold you just as accountable, for you now are a contributor to the same Dark Energies.
So, what is the key, what should we do ?
Ask yourself - How am I creating a better world, not only for myself and others, but also for the whole planet ?
How has my life contributed to a positive, healthy progress... how have I promoted a global Brotherhood of peace and understanding ?
How well do I practice wisdom; and guard my thoughts and words from an abusive, hurtful outplay ?
And for those who do not embrace all this, those who willfully use and abuse others, who wallow in anger, in violence, in exploitation... to you I will remind you that Life is a mirror, and as you do to others so it shall be done to you.
You cannot escape Karma, for YOU are doing this to yourself.
Learn this lesson well... or not. Your ego shall not save you, but will certainly damn you.
And to those who have embraced this Path of Light, please remember that there are far too many who haven’t. And some of these may well be close to you. They will feed off your Pranic Life Force until you succumb, now a weak and lifeless husk, easily swayed to their Will [even as you claim and rationalize the contrary].
Proper boundaries require distance, and the clarity of correct actions ... and that’s information for a later date.
The planet and all who live on it is going through a major test - Light vs. Darkness... whose side you’re on does not depend on the words you use, but on the actions you take.
Walk this Path consciously, fill your Heart with Light, and face this challenge with clarity... Namaste ...
