Now that's a grandiose title, isn't it?
Fortunately, there IS a solution to the world's problems. Poverty, war, disease, crime and the like can all disappear into nothingness. The solution does not involve prisons, bombs, laws and politics for those methods have, for centuries, given only the illusions of temporary fixes.
Interestingly, this true solution is no secret. It has occurred to almost everyone. It is intuitive and we have a "knowing" about it. Yet few of us take the appropriate action because hardly any of us believe in the true power of our own abilities. That includes me ... but I'm getting there.
The solution that we already "know" about involves a mindset and tends to start, something like this ... "If only everyone had perfect personal peace within ... if only everyone was aligned with their spiritual perfection ... if only there were no insecurities nor needs to "be better than" ... if only love replaced greed ... THEN we would find joy in each other, cooperation would replace judgement and all the world's problems would start to fade."
But then we read of the ongoing tragedies in the newspaper and see that sort of strife and tension mirrored in our families and workplaces. We see this negative "reality" all around us and give up on our fantasies of peace and love. "How impossible", we think, "Just look at how thoroughly ingrained this mess is throughout the world. How could we EVER unravel this intricate ball of twine?"
So, even though we know it is wrong, we continue fruitlessly with our prisons, bombs, laws and politics.
Yet the possibilities for achieving that delicious spiritual awareness are very real. We need only start with that well accepted phrase passed down through the ages that says ... "You are what you think." From there we can step up to the basic truth that rings throughout my series on The Palace of Possibilities that says ...
"Your consistent thoughts become your reality." (for those familiar with it, this is a simplified synopsis of the Law of Attraction).
To launch us in the proper direction, we need only combine this simple truth with the startling findings from Quantum Physics that (1) we are immersed in a sea of infinite possibilities (God?) and (2) our thoughts are the means by which we travel within that sea. This literally means that we can be, do or have ANYTHING we want.
Depending on your current beliefs, that statement could be tough to swallow. Maybe you believe it is possible to change your thinking and thus make more money, achieve an hourglass figure and cure a disease. But do you believe that you can live a life of non-stop joy ... or ... transport yourself over thousands of miles without the use of planes, trains or automobiles?
See, there are always limits to our thinking. What is fascinating, though, is that our "limits" keep expanding as we approach them. For example, earning $100,000 per year may seem impossible for someone earning $30,000. They can't see that far ahead. However, they can see $40,000 and, once achieved, they can then see $50,000 ... and then $80,000 ... and then $150,000 ... and beyond. After awhile, even Donald Trump seems small. Actually, compared to Bill Gates, he is small. But you get the idea. Our "limits" are more dependent on our thinking than on outside "barriers."
Expand this idea so that everyone shares in the "sea of infinite possibilities" and we will make obsolete the need for prisons, bombs, laws and politics to solve world problems. For if everyone is loaded up with all the possibilities they can handle, then what need is there for poverty, war, disease and the like?
So how do we achieve these mental states and thus create a world of joyous people? Do we just practice positive thinking? Well, that's a start. However, positive thinking like, "I am always joyous and see nothing but the beauty in this world" is a real challenge to do if we have competing thoughts like, "But I hate that @#$%^ who abused me as a child."
These competing thoughts are rampant in this world and they often become our dominant thoughts that, in turn "become our reality." They permeate our financial, social and health circumstances and stop us at every turn. They are the main deterrent to realizing our possibilities.
Fortunately, EFT can collapse all of them so that each becomes "just another thought." With the competition out of the way we can now soar through The Palace of Possibilities with ease.
Will this solve the world's problems this week? Probably not. But this effort starts with each of us individually. And as the benefits become apparent to others they will follow. And as the wave continues to other parts of the world, our seemingly insurmountable problems will eventually fade.
Nice idea, don't you think? But does it seem too grandiose? Too idealistic? Well, use it for yourself. Expand your possibilities. Expand your joy and then recognize that everyone can do this. Then notice how the idealistic label changes to "possible" and then to "realistic" and, finally, to the only true solution.
