The Happy Existence of Self 5/4/10
Happiness is not just a state of mind, it is a state of being. It is the Self’s
duty to be joyful in order to uplift the human condition. Happiness “quantifies
Quality”. In the plant and animal kingdoms joy is a natural part of their existence.
It is only when self-awareness begins to enter the picture that a plant or animal
finds itself in sadness, although its life on your planet holds many terrors, pain
and dangers, but that is due to mankind’s doing, not theirs, except for natural
disasters or conditions.
Humankind has developed the capacity for negative feelings and actions
which nearly obliterates its capacity to be a joyful and happy person. In fact,
humans often ridicule the “Pollyanna” type person who finds good everywhere in
everything and refuses to acknowledge negativity.
While negativity exists everywhere as the polar opposite of positivity,
negativity can only grow in the Realm of Self and the Self needs the assistance
of the Realms of Mind and Spirit to redeem itself. Netsok can only bring peace
when Self is wholly and fully in its Happy Existence, and moves to make this
earthly world a place of goodwill. So long as hate inhabits the highways and
byways of your earth, so long will it dwell in misery and defeat. Taking action
based on negativity is destructive, not constructive, and prolongs the process of
evolution.
This is not to say that the Self, even when greatly in its Happy Existence,
does not recognize dissatisfaction. If one were always content with the status
quo, growth would be slowed considerably. It is the mature Self recognizing there
is more to add to its happiness that causes it to look for higher goals for itself and
others. Remember that you create your own environment, and the Self, even
from its Happy Existence, constantly aspires (take note of the First Key as given
by Silverthistle) to a better environment for itself and strives to contribute to a
better environment for others.
There is no denying the existence of malice, envy, greed, etc., but the
Self, from its Happy Existence, does not give any space to these conditions.
When a human finds such negative feelings, thoughts or actions within itself, it is
his responsibility to replace them with the positive opposites to whatever it is.
Generosity for selfishness and greed. Search for goodness where maliciousness
is found. One should find within self what is more important to its well being than
what one is finding to be envious about.
Finding negativity around or in one’s person is a clear sign that
improvement is needed. It is the responsibility of the human condition to improve
its own circumstances and that of the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms. This is
an integral part of the Human Intention. While the animal kingdom is approaching
true self awareness, it is limited in its capacity to improve circumstances for itself
or others. It is still dependent upon the human kingdom for much of its
sustenance. However, with a little more careful attention to the plant and animal
kingdoms, you can become aware of their contributions to your welfare as they
fulfill their Intention. It is not only animals who give loyalty, love and integrity.
Plants also do as they express appreciation for your care by flourishing and
fulfilling their potential.
At this point, it is certain that you are questioning how anti-social behavior
fits into the fulfilling of the demand for Happy Existence. Even as a gang member
does something harmful or lawless, he is attempting to fulfill his Happy Existence
by seeking to fit into an environment created by the group entity of the gang.
Every murderer, thief, assaulter, and criminal of whatever pursuit, is seeking to
fulfill the Happy Existence in his own way.
A criminal’s activity is certainly against the best interests of human
civilization, but not necessarily against the Intention of fully experiencing the
Happy Existence. The more any human strives to fulfill the Intention of the Happy
Existence by positive contribution to the evolution of his society, the more he
offsets the negative and destructive contribution of the criminal element of
humankind. So every thought you entertain that condemns rather than uplifts the
criminal element’s conduct, contributes to the continuation of that conduct.
Remember thoughts are things and have a life of their own. So it behooves every
individual to keep a tight rein on his thoughts. It is better to bless a criminal,
although his conduct affronts your very being, and look for what that criminal may
have that can be capitalized on to bring him to be a positive contributor to his
society, than it is to think only of condemning him for his actions. Condemn the
action, if you will, but not the Self that is struggling to fulfill Intention.
It is true there are some entities that are so deeply involved in their
criminal activities as to not even realize their actions deteriorate their own
society. There are seemingly irredeemable entities for which no societal
treatment can improve their condition. It doesn’t matter that the end result
appears to have no impact when rehabilitation efforts fail, the fact that
rehabilitation efforts have been made contributes to the improvement of society
and thus moves to fulfill Intention. Sometimes, the very fact that attention is being
given to the culprit assists him in moving toward his Happy Existence without him
even knowing this is happening.
Your society has much to learn about dealing with anti-social behaviors,
and the manner in which those behaviors are dealt with. Your jurisprudence
system needs a great deal of improvement before it will serve to truly improve
your civilization efforts.
Your land of Australia is a good example of some success. Society
provided a place where people of like mind had to learn to get along with each
other. As they did this, they built a society which contributed greatly to the
fulfillment of the Intention of humankind. But the import of this lesson has been
lost over the centuries and people have forgotten the initial action which
produced the civilization on that continent.
The energies of the original natives of that land leant great impetus to the
success of that societal venture. The simplicity of their lifestyle, their belief
system of being in tune with nature, and the means by which they deal with those
who disobey their tenets of faith, have been greatly overlooked, as other
Existences of Self have gained priority attention over the Happy Existence. The
original natives still benefit from their own society, but the emigrants to Australia
have adopted the mores of the modern world. Nevertheless, the energies of the
simpler original inhabitants of that continent still move to improve and advance
the modern society which surrounds them.
Before I close, there is a major issue which should be discussed as it
affects each and every one of you. That is the issue of anger. As you have been
told before, there is a rightful just anger and that will be discussed under another
Existence. Here the anger that stems from the Realm of Emotion must be
addressed.
Anger sponsored by feelings of affront, a sense of being disrespected, put
upon, or taken advantage of, the loss felt when someone does not live up to your
expectations, are not “just anger”. These are petty feelings that have no place in
the heart of a truly happy person. Anger is toxic and poisons not only the physical
organism, but also the subtle bodies and is extremely destructive. It is incumbent
upon every individual to find the means through which he can deal with feelings
of anger without degrading himself or others. Doing harm to another, whether
physically, mentally or emotionally, does not serve one well. It is perfectly all right
to state one’s position on an issue, but getting angry, lashing out, etc. only serves
to toxify oneself and consequently one’s own environment, which then, by ripple
effect, toxifies everyone else.
Any feelings of anger, hate, disregard, contempt, or other negativity, must
be examined by the individual within his own private thoughts and a
determination made as to how to deal with these feelings until he can turn them
into positive effect. This is no easy responsibility, but responsibility it is if one is to
fulfill the Intention’s Happy Existence of Self.
There is much more which could be said, but our awareness of the
shortness of time and the availability of our channel pushes us to move on.
It is our hope that our students will make a greater effort to find their
Happy Existence through our guidance and thus make a greater contribution to
their civilization and ultimately the fulfillment of the Intention.
We shower you with our blessings and love. Be at peace.
