Such a simple question: What is the ‘right thing’ for me to do ?
Many would turn to the rational mind, thinking that such an educated approach would surely offer the appropriate response.
And to them I would point out that we are ALL ‘Emotional Thinkers’, who simply find a rationale to validate what we want the answer to be.
Ohhh, don’t get so upset by that statement - such a response simply validates that you are thinking emotionally... and if you are now stepping back, squinting your eyes in defiance and engaging your brilliant mind to find the appropriate rebuttal [revenge ? satisfaction ?]
... to you I would say that the proper scientific evaluation of a premise requires, nay demands, an open investigation, without prejudice [i.e. stop thinking that you already have the answers, for that is a sure sign of Ego; ergo emotional thinking].
So what IS ‘Correct Action’ ?
Well, we know that it is not ‘Rational Thought’, for, at best, such would offer ‘Required Action’ - i.e. what is commonly expected by the average Joe, and what society uses in evaluating Laws and other protocols.
Yes, this does have some validity, but it doesn’t truly offer all the possible answers.
Consider that when the car was first produced there were no ‘rules of the road’. And these developed only once society became more complex... thus what once was ‘rational common sense’ became inappropriate in later context, AND needed to be scrapped [or if you prefer: a higher, more relevant Truth was applied, because Change demanded it].
I am not saying that the Original Thought Process was ‘wrong’... it just was no longer relevant... and anyone who is so foolish to live - and behave - according to the past... well, you’re welcome to do that...just as long as the rest of us have the same - equal - Right to move forward.
So, again I ask: What is Correct Action ?
I would offer that “Correct Action is the appropriate response to current events ... unburdened by past beliefs or perceptions”...or - for those of you who are more Esoteric - “Correct Action stems from a Higher Consciousness, based on the revelation of Light”
Both have meaning... both lead to evolution and great changes.
If you’re still uncertain - or maybe even confused, let me simplify it all for you: What is NOT Correct Action ?
Correct Action is not the lies we tell ourselves to justify our prejudice, our Ego-Superiority, our righteous belief that ours is the only true way... It is not the lies and propaganda by selected few who tell themselves that they know better, and this gives them the right to tell others what to do and how to be... It is not the manipulation of others by telling a half-truth, or by limiting information so as to create a bias... or by spreading fear to fuel anger and opposition... nor is it the right to bully others by force...None of this makes it ‘right’... it simply shows how retarded such approach actually is.
The past is done and gone... the future awaits.
It shall be whatever we each create
...and that responsibility rests - firmly - on each of our shoulders.
[can’t blame the dog for eating your homework !]
We all live on this planet together - let’s take good care of it... and do what is required.
Namaste ...
