Perspectives of Renewal

[Barry]

I believe this to be true or close to a truth. We cannot act different from our own understanding. Often the world focuses on changing actions, yet if we act different from our understanding the cause for the action has only been suppressed nd managed, and so the action can easly reoccur.

With diets, people focus on the losing of weight and has been proven a failed system with the possibility that is the intent, to design systems that people fail in so they are lways buying more memerships, diet plans while comsuming unhealthy products at the same time. I do not suggest to go down this direction of thought, but that really the whole true issue is about health. We try to change the effect with out ever dealing with the cause, the true issue.

This is how many deal with problems throughout our lives. If we are going to ever have a world of peace and altruism, it will be according to our mindset and undestanding. We must not focus on the actions of people but upon the understanding that will free them from their patterns and attachment by the freeing of the renewing of our minds.

That is what I would hope theis topic would pursue, that we seek a renewed mind together, understandings that facilitate actions. Thoughts that bring about renewal.

lol Sorry I thought I would be able to edit that once I posted it. I hope it is clear enough. I hope we can find truths or thoughts that bring about a chnage within us and create different perspectives that allows us that is a path to do those things which we wish to do, and a path that gives hope to others.
I have found tthis next thought to be helpful to me...

"There is no them"

This takes away the conflict that is in us and the walls that we have built up against others. All are part of who we are, and no deed or action can undo this if we hve the mindset that we are part of and for everyone. I beleive change and resolution never really come through argument or debate, conflict nd hostilities, even compromise or treaties that are a ceasation of hostilities do not deal with the cause. Usually the tensions and hositily, anger and prejudice still remain.

In that, there is no them, we would have no walls, no prejudice, no judgment, no hostility toward another.
Thnk on this not only in your mind but in your heart and spirit, repeat it to yourself when you feel rise of conflict or aggravation, or judgment of others. We must let things wash over us in a sense, our mind spirit and heart can come to an agreement and there is no struggle within us.

This is just a tool, nothing more, if the tool doesnt work, find one that does. I hope I never again wish to be right. I may fail at that at times, but i know what road that goes down. I have been there before and it does not lead to the path i wish to walk.

A message: A perspective to Change the World


We do not need wars or weapons, we do not need great leaders or speeches, we do not need money or organizations, nor the propagation of one form of government or lifestyle over another. It really would not take much to change the everything if we could just change the mindset of the world, the mind set of the people within the world and our perspective of how we look at ourselves and everyone else.

If we could see the beauty and uniqueness of each and every person and that this makes each person is a rare and priceless masterpiece. It is not about our gifts, talents, wealth, education, or fame, these have nothing to do with who we are and do not make one person of more value than another. Yet it is that we see, appreciate and honor all that is good and beautiful in others, and that we bring to others the good and beauty which we ourselves have to give.

It is not about attaching these things to ego or being prideful at all. Our gifts and talents have nothing to do with the value of who we are as a person, but rather is our stewardship to give to others that which we are able to offer them in love, acceptance, and kindness; doing so being very little aware of ourselves. Our gifts, talents, understanding, and beauty is not for ourselves but are our stewardship to mankind.
