?But I number you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has even now committed adultery with her in his seat of life.?

Christ (Matthew 5: 28)

One of the great points of stress in Christ?s teachings is that if we wish to live a really happy life (and, in the process, create a positive impact on the world round us), we need to go beyond mere outward actions.

Yes, they are hugely weighty; but important too are our thoughts and feelings.

If our outward actions are ?good? but the accompanying thoughts and feelings are ?bad?, at that time negative results will unavoidably follow.

To return to ? and expand ? The anointed?s quote above, we read the following (recent translation by Eugene H. Peterson):

?You perceive the next commandment pretty well, too: ?Don?t go to bed through another?s spouse.? But don?t cogitate you?ve preserved your virtue plainly by staying out of bed. Your heart can be corrupted by cupidity even quicker than your material substance. Those leering looks you cogitate nobody notices ? they likewise corrupt.?

This highlights the question with simply ?doing your what one ought to do?, with simply doing ?the straight thing?, with plainly performing the ?correct rituals?.

Except they are also done through the proper spirit, then they can easily do greater degree of harm than good.

The intellect for this is simple: thoughts and feelings likewise carry energetic vibrations. So if our chaps says one thing and our thoughts and feelings some other, then we can be blasting someone through negative energy even as we commendation them.

Similarly, if we help someone out of responsibility but resent doing so, we are showering them ? and the universe ? with negativity even as we do this evidently noble deed.

This question becomes apparent when we create ?fake? apologies.

You know those seasons when we?re pissed off with someone but perceive that, in the circumstances, we?d better try to even things over even al~ we are still furious.

So we approach the individual we?re mad with, we apologize through clenched teeth and, lo and behold, discover that the best result we at any time get is a frosty reconciliation.

But we?ve also practised the opposite: times when we are genuinely grieved, apologize and find that, in numerous cases, even when it would be spotless enough for the person we are apologizing to to silence hold a grudge, we are forgiven.

This individual feels the regret beneath our language and is moved by this energy.

On the farther side of External Actions

Of course, at times ? as Christ?s quote suggests ? the question doesn?t so much arise from the discord between thoughts, feelings and actions, but plainly the thoughts and feelings alone. In other language:

You don?t have sex with your confidant?s wife.

You don?t whack someone above the head with a bar.

You don?t verbally misuse someone.

You don?t provoke someone through a wicked stare.

But you do imagine, cogitate and feel doing some of these things and, as like, send negative shockwaves out into the world.

You may object that holding ourselves responsible to this ?inner morality? seems preferably tough and, possibly, even unjust (?Hey, we didn?t do anything subsequent to all, did we??); but you only need to turn to your spent experience to see that positive and negative force emanating from a person can easily create a huge impact on those round him or her.

Recall situations, for instance, at which place you?re enjoying time with friends, the temper is positive and then? someone enters the space full of hurt and anger. Harbor?t you noticed that, even if he or she doesn?t say anything, the temper of the entire group often shifts?

Naturally, the invert can be true: the group is feeling from the top to the bottom of, someone full of life and positivity enters and voila ? everyone starts to perceive better.

So we?re talking about a appearance that we have all experienced. A thing we can verify as true if we look in the inside of.

And that is why we would do well contemplate this higher form of morals, because otherwise we might be doing all of the ?straight things? but still end up miserable.

The Rainmaker

In that place is a well-known ? apparently real ? story about a rainmaker (made celebrated by Jung), who was called into a hamlet in China that was suffering from a frightful drought.

The villagers had tried everything to create the rains come. The Catholics had made their processions. The Protestants had declared their prayers. The Chinese had burned enrage and fired guns to frighten absent the ?drought demons?, but all to no benefit.

In the end, desperate, they called in a small , old rainmaker from a far away territory.

When he arrived they asked him that which he needed and he said only a still room, some food and irrigate. Once he received these, he disappeared into his space and didn?t come out.

Four days went by and at that time, from out of a clear blue sky, a bulky snowfall came ? something totally out of mark for the season ? and, with that, the dryness was broken.

When asked how he made the snow and rain approach, the rainmaker at first said he did no thing.

Then, pressed further, he explained that at the time he first arrived, the village was in a condition of disharmony.

He therefore retreated to his space so that he could bring himself into a condition of inner harmony and, as a result of that, pull the village into harmony through him. After that it was only of nature for the rains to come.

Becoming a Signal-fire

From the above story and from your individual experience, it should be clear that your interior state of being matters the two to you and the world.

I therefore invite you to clasp in the arms this higher form of morals. A form of morality that includes the two the inner and outer world.

In so doing, I solicit you to become a Beacon.

Beacons perceive that every thought and affecting they have makes a dissimilarity to the world and, as such, do everything they can to originate as much inner harmony as potential.

Yes, there will be moments ? at times short, sometimes long ? at the time inner balance crumbles and they perceive grumpy, irritable and dark; but one and the other time this happens they do their most good to rebalance themselves, because they apprehend that their inner joy is no longer only about them.

Afterwards, one time their inner balance has been re-established they at that time do their best to shine as brightly as potential so that the world around them can be bathed in sanative energy.

In this way they are ?Warriors of the Medium of vision?.

Protectors of the planet.

Guardians of World.

Are you willing to join their ranks?
