Life Story: The Way of Eno.
In the Beginning…
Once, long ago there was Eno.
We call It ‘Eno’ although nobody else did because there was nobody else.
So we could give It any name, it just wouldn’t matter.
Eno simply was. However, this was no small thing because this was at
the time before anything else existed.
Not even time.
Therefore, simply ‘being’ was everything. Eno was everything.
Which was fine as long as it lasted - and since there was no time, that
was forever; backwards and forwards.
Eno was all there was. There was only It.
No stars, no Sun, no Earth, no seas, no land, no cities, no schools; no
books, no films, no music; no chores, no homework, no holidays, no
games.
Just Eno.
Eno was everything, every being, every feeling, every happening, every
place. It was one thing, the only thing, so therefore it was all
things.
Because there was only Eno, It was the biggest and most strongest.
Also, of course, Eno was everywhere, because there was nowhere else.
And moreover, as you might guess, It was the cleverest, and knew
everything.
The one thing Eno could do was think. Since It was all there was, It
was the very best thinker there was. So Eno just was, thinking about
things.
But, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, since there was nothing else, all Eno
could do was think about Itself.
Now, with only one thing to think about, you’d think you’d soon know
everything about that one thing. Yet after thinking about Itself for It
didn’t know how long, Eno suddenly realised It didn’t actually know who
It was. Not really.
So, Eno decided to take stock: but, where to start? Well, what was the
very first, the original thought that It had ever had? What was the
very first idea It had become aware of?
“I AM,” thought Eno.
Yes, that was it. “I AM.” That was the first thought.
Fine. But what did that mean? Eno ‘was’: Eno was what? Eno was
everything. There was nothing else. Everything was Eno. Eno was the
only thing. The only one thing was Eno. So everything was one thing –
wasn’t it?
Hey! - this was good. Eno enjoyed this. It liked thinking about things
this way. All there was, was Eno, who was the only one. So all was one.
And Eno knew It was the only one – but what was ‘all’? Surely ‘all’
meant ‘lots of things’? What an idea! What a thought! Wow!
Hold on, though; what are these ‘lots of things’? Where are all these
‘many things’ going to come from? There’s only one thing, and that’s
Eno: “I AM.”
Eno thought and thought. Within the one thing that was everything, It
had created the idea of many things. But what sort of things? What
might they be like? What might they do?
The more It thought about this, the more It wanted to know, until the
wanting became longing, and the longing became yearning, and the
yearning became a craving. Eno felt this craving growing inside It,
striving, reaching upwards, swelling up within until It thought It
would burst! It was shaking with the intensity. Surely something had to
blow!
The shaking got more, the vibration got faster and faster, the energy
was building and building until - it suddenly burst forth in
a
glorious explosion of pure white light.
Eno gaped! It stared in wonder and amazement at what It could see
within. All was brilliant and clear! Eno loved the way the light had
created brightness, and colour, and shadows, and darkness where nothing
had been before.
Eno was so happy, It longed to explore more and more, to let It’s
thoughts run on and on, to enjoy this adventure forever.
This burning desire fuelled the fire even more, and Eno’s love of every
moment of the experience played upon the light, shaping it and swirling
it into spirals which created ripples and waves and patterns.
Oh! it was wonderful! Eno had become aware of Itself, and one almighty
thought had created the idea of many-ness inside of one-ness, or unity.
It’s love and passion for the idea was so great it had illuminated
everything and filled all there was with a background sea of swirling
energy.
And Eno was still everything, and everything was still Eno.
Things take shape…
What Eno had done so far was absolutely fantastic; yet even more
unbelievable things were to come.
All the energy, the light, the swirls, the spirals, the patterns which
Eno had created contained that same “I AM” spark which was Eno. In
their own way, they too could think, just like Eno. This was exactly
the way Eno had thought it.
Everything there was, or could ever be, was Eno, so it was quite all
right for everything to think for itself. Whatever they thought, or
wherever the thoughts went to, they would all come back to Eno in the
end.
Not surprisingly, things started to act together, started to be drawn
to each other, and since they were all intelligent, they too started to
experiment and adventurise just as Eno had done.
It was about then that time began. There had been no need for time
before this, but now ‘things’ were starting to happen, events were
starting to take place. ‘Starting’ meant ‘before’ and ‘after’. Once
something ‘started’ it had to continue, and possibly end, so time was
needed to know just when these moments happened.
What Eno had done, in creating many things out of – but still within –
one thing, was to create the idea of ‘growing’. Eno was growing, and
all the things that Eno was, were growing too. Since they were part of
Eno, they were all like Eno in thinking, ideas, curiosity, and
creativeness, striving to be more.
The spirals and patterns began to criss-cross each other, forming new
shapes and thicknesses and eventually new ‘things’ came into being.
They formed fire and wind, and atoms and molecules. Gradually, out of
the topsy-turvy chaos came galaxies with billions of stars, each one a
Sun with its own little family of planets and moons.
The idea of space had been born. You see, when Eno just ‘was’, all
there ‘was’ was ‘here’; Eno didn’t need anywhere else. Now, though,
It’s thoughts had created so many things that some were ‘here; and some
were ‘there’: so It had to have the idea of space to know where
everything was.
The wind and fire continued to act upon the earth and water of the
planets, creating hills and lakes, and valleys and seas, and rain and
sand and soil.
It was time for the second stage of Eno’s grand plan. The “I AM” spark
in some of the chemical molecules in the land and seas reached up
towards the light, eager to develop more and more and to explore this
new environment.
“Physical bodies would be a good idea,” thought Eno, and that thought
made for them tiny cells, which then began to divide and multiply into
organised structures. Eno waited to see what would happen.
Some of these tiny organisms grew into mosses and lichens and
eventually grasses and plants.
Others became microbes and germs and eventually tiny sea creatures.
More and more thinking and growing and developing went on over
thousands and millions and billions of years.
Grasses and plants became flowers and fruits and trees. Tiny sea
creatures grew little legs, and learned to live on the land. Some grew
wings and could soar into the air. All this from Eno’s one “I AM,”
thought!
A major breakthrough which a physical body gave to these little life
forms was that they could move about and so they could travel great
distances – some as much as a few centimetres, some hundreds of miles –
and explore their ‘space’, experience new conditions, meet new species.
Some were friendly and helpful; some were just hungry.
Which was another new development. The physical bodies of these new
life forms needed food to give them energy and to keep them going.
Leaves and shoots and fruits would provide food for the plant eating
beings, and they themselves would provide food for the meat eaters.
Of course, this meant that one life-form became food for another
life-form, but it was not sad because this was just two life-forms
combining together: all plants and animals and things were part of one
thing. It was good to be of service and help each other. It was not
until much, much later that the idea came along that ‘death’ was
something to be frightened of. In any case, it was only the physical
shell which ‘died’: the “I AM” spark lived on and could start a new and
exciting and different life possibly as something else and somewhere
entirely different.
After all, the ‘I AM’ spark is part of Eno, and Eno is everything, so
it couldn’t just ‘disappear’; it couldn’t simply ‘not be’; it couldn’t
‘die’; not really.
Each of these exploits whether exciting or hazardous, taught them a
great deal, and because they were still part of Eno, this greatly
increased It’s understanding too.
And, oh! Eno loved this more and more.
Time to wake up…
Knowledge and experience shaped and guided further growing as each
plant and creature continued to strive onwards and upwards.
Just as Eno had done in the beginning, they became aware. They got to
know their surroundings, where to find food. Leaves and flowers turned
to the Sun for light and warmth. Animals learned how to protect
themselves, how to have babies and look after them till they grew. They
learned the safety and security of family life in the herd, the pack,
the flock, the school.
Meantime, Eno carried on thinking, and everything It created responded
to It’s thinking, and added their own thoughts too, creating even more
types of things, and colours and shapes and sizes, and textures, and
ideas. Which pleased Eno even more, because this was the way It had
thought it to happen. The grand adventure just went on and on!
Eno loved everything. What had started as one single thought had become
millions and billions and trillions of new thoughts every single
second. It just grew and grew, and Eno just grew and grew in size and
shape and experience and knowledge and happiness and joy, because
everything was still ‘one’! Oh it was outstanding!
Because there were no limits to Eno, It just kept on thinking and
creating and enjoying every single moment, and every single being, and
every single feeling, and every single happening which It’s thoughts
and It’s co-creators’ thoughts came up with.
So it was, after many, many thousands of years, Eno decided it was time
for the third great big step. Some of the animals – and even a few of
the trees – had been thinking so hard that they became aware, not just
of everything around them, but they became aware - of
themselves!
Yes, they were part of the group, herd, flock, whatever; but they had
realised that they were something else too: they were individual and
could think, and act, and behave for themselves.
Now it wouldn’t do for them to carry on just as they were because many
of their herd, or group simply were not ready for this giant leap yet,
so Eno thought about an entirely new body for them to wear while they
experienced a life.
The second step had been all about developing bodies and survival.
These new creatures were to learn to think for themselves, think a new
kind of thoughts - some of which may not even have anything to do with
staying alive. They would learn to appreciate art and music and dance;
sport, fun, and games. Laughter, joy, and pleasure. And most of all,
Love.
Perhaps Eno was taking a big risk, because remember, from the very
first, Eno had thought it was quite all right for everything to be free
to think for itself. Now, aware of themselves, and feeling ‘individual’
these entities could choose to do whatever they wished - even
to
think they were quite separate from Eno and everyone and everything
else if they wanted to.
This newly granted freedom would allow them to choose.
What would this mean? No longer operating as a group or a
herd or
a species, the power that being self-aware, thinking for themselves,
having free will to choose as they wished was absolutely …. aaawesome!
Remember that what had spurred that first original thought was the fact
that Eno didn’t know who It was: well, letting things get to this stage
was a sure way to find out!
There was going to be umpty-ump trillions of these individuated, free
thinking bits of Itself floating around in the Universe, all choosing
for themselves what to think, and all inter-acting and affecting each
other in a myriad different ways.
They could choose where to live, what to build, what to eat, how to
live. They could even choose a mate and have families of their own.
They could make tools and decorations, build houses and villages. They
could even choose their own attitude to each other.
This or that…
What this boiled down to was a choice between being totally selfish –
going off on their own, thinking they were separate, grabbing
everything for themselves, using others to get their own way, – or
caring for others, remembering and honouring the fact that they were
part of the whole, linked and connected to everything.
Which is exactly what happened. Some learned to live in harmony with
their fellow beings and the animals and the plants and the
surroundings; offering and giving help where it was asked for. They saw
in others the similarities with themselves, and appreciated the variety
and excitement which the differences brought. They treated others
fairly, as they would want to be treated themselves. It felt good in
their hearts when they had done a ‘good deed’, and that was all the
reward they looked for.
Others chose to ‘look after number one’; to scheme, and take, and
steal, and fight to be ‘better off’, or ‘more important’, or ‘more
powerful’ than anyone else, with no concern only for themselves. They
chose to believe this was the way to progress: the other entities
needed to be led and shown what to do, and it was up to them to be the
boss, and lead the way.
However, Eno loved them all. They were all part of Eno; there was no
right way nor wrong way, only experience, and each must find out for
itself. It was their free will to choose for themselves.
So part three of Eno’s plan was all about shaping the personality,
learning about relationships to each other, and choosing whether to be
helpful, caring, and kind to everyone and everything, or to take
advantage of others and just look after oneself.
This choice will have a big effect for future parts of Eno’s plan.
The fourth stage is all about Love. Total, complete, unconditional
Love. Either whole-hearted love for other-selves, or undivided,
unscrupulous love of oneself.
Then there are stages to add wisdom, to understand unity, and then, in
foreverness to rejoin with Eno.
________________________________
Who’s who…
We don’t know much about the story after the third stage, because we
haven’t got there yet. We ourselves are still in the third stage.
You see, this story is about your life.
You are one of those precious fragments of the original Eno.
One of the exercises for being a better person is:
“Look in a mirror: see the Creator.”
Now, I’m sure you know that when you look at things in a mirror, they
are back-to-front, so ‘ENO’ in the mirror would become ‘ONE’. And as we
have seen, we are, all, ‘One’, aren’t we?
What else would you see in the mirror?
Correct! Yourself.
You are one of those “I AM” entities which started off as a spark of
the Creator in a tiny micro-organism.
If you don’t believe me, look deep into the mirror. What do you really
see? Your eyes physically accept the rays of light which form the image
staring back at you; but what turns those rays of light into a picture
that you can understand?
You may say that your eyes accept the rays and your brain turns their
pattern into the picture. Yet, amazingly wonderful though they both
are, your eyes and your brain are merely lumps of tissue and cells: a
meat robot – mostly made of water!
Which leads you to the idea of a mind, which can think and interpret,
and decide: is that image you or someone else? Do you look like your
Mother, or your Father? Are you too fat or too thin, good looking or
ugly?
That’s better, but is that everything? Err… how do you decide? Who
tells your mind what to think?
Your body is a creature of your mind. When your mind says, “Go!” your
body goes. But who tells your mind where to go? And why?
Gaze even more deeply into your mirror eyes. Do you see it, down in
there? Down in the deep of the black pool of your pupils? If you look
very, very closely you can see that brilliant spark, the “I AM” which
is the real you, the Eno, the eternal One, since time began.
One day you will fall deeply, madly, truly in love. When true lovers –
two people prepared to open themselves entirely, honestly and in
complete trust to each other - drown in each other’s eyes, each sees
the very soul of the other. It will be a very precious moment.
In that moment you will be able to fully appreciate that an other-self
is exactly like your-self: that we are truly, all One.
This is the essential realisation. We are all One. None of us is
separate, not from each other, not from Nature, not from our world, not
from the air, space, the Universe; not from creation, not from our
Creator – whether you call him Eno, God, The Source, Brahman, Allah, or
whatever.
‘Allsorts’ are all
sweeties…
It doesn’t mean we are all the same: we are not robots. But we all come
from the same Source, the same place; we are made up of the same
‘bits’, and in the end, we all want the same things. We just choose
different ways of thinking and going about getting there.
Think of it this way. If you shine pure white light through a prism,
all the colours of the rainbow will be seen coming out of the other
side. The pure white light was part of Eno, and we – the full spectrum
of delicate and beautiful shades – are that same light in a slightly
modified, or distorted form – but still part of Eno.
“All things, all of life, all of the creation is part of one original
thought.”
“You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every
situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light,
light/love. You are.”1 This is the way of the
One, True Creator.
You are one with your Creator, so you are a co-Creator, and all the
other little “I AM’s” are the same: co-Creators. In other words, there
is no disharmony: only similarity. We simply have different points of
view from each other at times. And neither is the ‘right’ view, nor the
‘wrong’ view.
Who are we to choose for others, what is ‘right’ for them and what is
‘wrong’ for them?
It’s like good and bad; both are points on a horizontal measure: good
is at one end and bad is at the other extreme. Both are measurements,
or values of the same quality. It just depends where your view-point,
or your frame of reference is. If you were in Greenland, ‘hot’ would be
at the ‘good’ end of your heat measure, whilst ‘cold’ would be at the
‘bad’ end. But mid-day in the Gobi desert, ‘hot’ would be the ‘bad’
end, and ‘cold’ would be much ‘better’!
In this way we should view other-selves, our global brothers and
sisters. Some we will like and get on well with. Others we will not
‘like’ and choose to avoid.
But place both types on a measure of love: on the one hand, some we
will love very easily, whilst on the other hand, others we will love
with more difficulty.
That’s “OK.” We should never be false to our hearts. However we should
realise that the one’s we may not ‘like’ are providing experience for
their idea of their Creator, just as we are for our idea of our
Creator. The Creator is the same, One. They may be coming from an
entirely different point of view, but it is their point of view – and
we, like Eno, should respect their free-will.
We should grant them their choice, their decision. We may say, “That
would not be my way,” or, “I cannot accept that,” or, “I prefer not to
choose that path.”
However, we have no right to decide – or judge – that our way is right
and their way is wrong. We must accept it as simply different, or
alternative.
We must, like Eno, grant everyone, every creature the right to be: we
must grant them ‘being’.
Think of the wonderful variety that we know as life. Whatever field you
may want to think about has benefited and is infinitely richer for the
influence of differing cultures, traditions, beliefs. Art, music,
dance, architecture, design, mathematics, language, food, - even the
way we think about things and each other: all more interesting, more
exciting, more effective because of the inter-mingling of ideas.
Or to put it in Eno’s terms, the co-creativity of all we individualised
selfs.
What any of us chooses leads to what we do. Choices lead to action.
Action is a cause. Every cause has an effect: we say, “This (effect)
happened because…” Every effect leads to another choice,
action,
cause, and so on.
For example, you have invitations from two people to go to their
parties on the same evening. For whatever reason, you decide to go to
one rather than the other. You have a good time at the party, there’s
lots going on, lots of things happen – both to you, and because you are
there.
If you had chosen to go to the other party, an entirely different set
of things would have happened, - both to you, and to other people
because you were there. Do you get the picture?
This is how the experience becomes so varied and rich and colourful.
Remember the prism splitting the rays of pure light? Is red different
to blue? It may seem different, yet they are both light; just in a
slightly different form. Should yellow think itself better than green?
Moreover, how do you know that what you see as ‘violet’ is the same as
what another-self sees as ‘violet’? Yet both are the same modification
or distortion of light through the same prism.
Living is easy…
It’s quite some weeks ago now since you set out as a little microbe,
and you’ve still a long, long way to go. But time doesn’t matter when
you have forever, does it? Especially not when you’re having fun!
It’s only here, where we’ve been brought up to demand everything ‘this
minute’ that we complain about time. We should remember the story of
the two people on a long train ride.
One arrived tired and worked up, frustrated and bellyaching about how
long it had taken to get to the destination. The other was smiling,
relaxed, and refreshed after enjoying such wonderful scenery along the
way: he wished the journey had taken longer!
Don’t we miss so many lovely sights and experiences by rushing around,
eager to get someplace? And what do we do when we get there? Do we use
the ‘extra time’ wisely?
Why don’t we relax and go about more leisurely, arrive bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed, pleased and excited by the events along the way, and
much, much wiser for the experience?
Do you know that once, when man first walked the Earth, you lived for
about nine hundred years? How much did you learn in that time? What
amazing things did you get to know? How much did you experience with
all that time to appreciate every little detail in every single second?
Absolutely no reason to rush or hurry at all!
Think what you might have achieved. Look at it this way. Even today, if
you walked for just four hours each day, had Saturdays and Sundays off,
and took four weeks holiday a year, you could still walk right round
the world in just over six years of your lifespan of about seventy
years.
Where did you go, what did you see with nine centuries to play with?
What could you build, what could you create, what could you imagine in
all that time?
Of course back then we were learning about ourselves, about each other.
How we related to our families, our neighbours. How we shared the
fruits of the Earth with the birds and beasts of the field, and with
them we were connected to the rhythms and cycles of the Earth, and the
Moon, and the stars.
The seasons of the year governed our lives: the migration of the birds
in the air, and the animals on the land, and the fish in the seas were
our timepieces. We lived off the land and respected its gifts that we
might continue to enjoy its bounty in the future.
Fire was the only energy we could utilise. It kept us warm, cooked what
food we ate hot, and provided meagre light of an evening. In the dark
we stayed home and slept.
We had time for each other. We talked to each other. Round the dying
embers on a long winter’s night, we shared our feelings, our dreams,
our stories. The old people passed down to us the traditions of their
ancestors, from generation to generation. Collectively over the
centuries we charted the cosmic dance of the stars in the heavens.
We lived for each other too. Those who were fleet of foot and sure of
aim would hunt, for us all. Those with green fingers and love of the
soil would grow crops, for us all. Those who could fashion wood and
stone would build and create homes and tools and decorations, for us
all. Those who could teach or heal would minister, to us all. Those who
could cook, and sew, and clean, looked after us all.
And the old, who had given their service would give wisdom and guidance
and be appreciated for their contribution also.
There was time to learn about life, how it worked, what it was about,
what was our purpose. We had respect for ourselves and for each other,
and for all around us. We took responsibility for our selves and our
communities.
Laws and regulations were not necessary: we had a code of conduct, a
natural sense of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ which honoured our people, our
family, our selves, and the environment we were blessed with.
Of course there were hard times and heavy burdens, but we shouldered
them together and worked for the greater good.
Many of these traditions continued even when the average lifespan was
reduced to give a more focussed learning experience. In one or two
isolated communities the thread exists even today in modified form.
However, if you know anything about history at all you can see how
things have changed for most of us today.
When your Mum and Dad were growing up, mankind was taking its first
tentative steps into space, colour television was just becoming
available, some radio stations began to offer stereo music. A very
clunky sort of email was becoming available in the USA to Universities,
Libraries and the like; a portable electronic calculator was put on
sale, cell phones (mobiles) were invented, the first computer with a
mouse and pictures was developed.
The Internet was being developed, but not available to you or I; there
were few if any home computers, Microsoft was just a gleam in someone’s
eye, and home based VCR’s - video recorders - were just becoming
affordable.
Now, just thirty or so years later, you probably have satellite TV in
your bedroom, multi-media PC hooked up to the home network, DVD
recorder and player, mobile phone with digital camera, MP3 player
- even if you are just ‘ordinary’. For your Mum or Dad to
have
communicated with a friend the other side of the world back then, would
have taken days/weeks by mail or cost a small fortune by telephone –
with one of them making a sacrifice for the time difference. Today you
can email instantly at virtually no charge and if you don’t need
instant response you can do it 24/7. With a web-cam you can even talk
to friends anywhere in the world ‘face to face’.
The Internet is transforming the world both on a business and a
personal level. Relationships can be established with people the other
side of the globe, at all levels, and from entirely differing
backgrounds and cultures. The Internet allows almost limitless amounts
of the very latest information to be available to the widest possible
audience at the click of a button.
These are just a few examples of how much and how fast things are
changing nowadays. I’m sure you can think of many more.
But do we have time for ourselves, or for each other? Of course we do –
it’s our choice – but do we make or take time for ourselves or each
other?
There are people who say that time is speeding up. Not that there are
now less minutes in an hour, or that the Earth circles the Sun any more
quickly; but what we do, and what we can do in each hour today is so
very much more than could have happened ten or fifty years ago.
Talk to your Mum and Dad, talk to your grandparents: things that took
many years to become ‘common place’ in their day are happening in
months and weeks now. New products, new technologies which would have
taken years to perfect – primarily for industry, then a few wealthier
people - are now rolled out to the general public very quickly. New
laws and ‘acceptable’ behaviour become part of daily life almost before
we’ve noticed them.
And it seems to be accelerating: time is getting like the bath water
going down the drain, spiralling ever tighter and tighter until it
disappears.
Let’s pretend we’ve invented time travel – a bit like Dr Who. If you
could take someone alive in Jesus’ time, two thousand years ago, and
drop them into the eighteen hundreds, they would find many differences,
but I guess they could still ‘get by’.
How do you think someone alive just two hundred years ago would manage
if you dropped them into your town or city today?
It’s not just the speed of events which is changing, either. Major
changes are taking place in our life giving surroundings too.
Most people are aware of what the popular news calls ‘global warming’:
lots of scientists are talking about it, trying to explain the reasons
for it and coming up with their pet suggestion how to stop it. Most
would have you believe that what they call ‘greenhouse gases’ – the
smoke and steam from factories, the unseen carbon gases from our cars
and trains and aeroplanes – are forming a sort of cover round the
Earth’s upper atmosphere; when the Sun shines on this, like it does on
a greenhouse or one of those poly-tunnels, it heats up the ‘inside’
which is where we live, far more than it should.
Now, whilst they don’t say we’re all going to turn bright red like
tomatoes, they do claim that this is why the ice is all disappearing at
the North and South poles, why the glaciers that move through the big
mountain ranges are melting, and why the weather patterns throughout
the world are going all screwy.
There is no doubt that all these things are happening – and more.
However, a few scientists have realised that whilst lots more cars and
aeroplane journeys aren’t helping, it needs bigger causes to create the
full range of changes which can be seen, on such a vast scale as to
affect the whole planet.
All of the planets which revolve around our Sun are changing – some are
getting warmer, some are changing their magnetic field, some are
changing the atmosphere that surrounds them. Even our Sun is more
active than it has been for thousands of years. These are the real
events which are causing the Earth changes.
Large areas of the polar ice caps are breaking off into the sea; the
temperature of the deep oceans is rising; weather systems are changing;
earthquakes are becoming more common and more violent; more volcanoes
are erupting more frequently.
All these things bring more catastrophes: devastation, fire, floods,
mudslides, tsunamis. They also threaten wild-life – migrating birds,
fish and sea mammals like whales and dolphins; polar bears, seals and
penguins; whilst droughts and floods bring starvation and danger to
land animals like elephants, buffalo, antelope etc.
Just like them – for we are all One – we too will have to change, to
adapt. And these physical, environmental changes will not distinguish
between Europeans and Americans, or blacks, whites, red or yellow; they
will not enquire as to Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or Jew; they will
not happen only to men, or women: we will all be affected.
There are other changes too. Look at the way we behave towards each
other. We have much more violence in the world today than your parents
and grandparents can remember.
We have bullying in schools, we have street gangs. Doctors, nurses,
firemen get attacked while trying to do their job of helping people.
Old people get mugged for the few pounds which was to last them for a
week or a month.
And there is fighting and war going on in every continent on Earth.
Wars and fighting which do not just harm the soldiers who choose or are
paid to fight, but innocent children, women and men who have nothing to
do with the fighting, nor want anything to do with it: most often
indeed, the war is not to protect their land, or their freedom.
Wars are fought because you do not agree with me: we’re different. You
do not agree with my way of life, my beliefs, my customs. Wars are also
fought by bullies and thieves. They want what you have got, your oil,
your water, your wealth.
All this has to stop.
Be the change you wish to
see…
Peter Pan said, “Every time a child says 'I don't believe in fairies,'
there's a little fairy somewhere that falls down dead.” I believe the
opposite is true also: every time someone thinks a kind, loving
thought, it has a good effect somewhere else.
Some very clever researchers actually proved this. They got together a
few people in a city and had them think good, kind, loving thoughts:
the researchers found that crime, traffic accidents, visits to Accident
and Emergency all fell during the period. This was repeated in many
cities and even in war zones with a similar happy result.
We have to start and think good, kind, loving thoughts – all the time.
We have to start and live with good, kind, loving thoughts in our
hearts and as our motives in everything we do.
There is no need to ‘push’ these feelings onto others. Should you come
across someone who rejects your service, that is their freewill choice,
and you must respect that and move on.
When these loving feelings are solidly embedded in your intentions, the
opportunities to act accordingly will present themselves. You will be
like a beacon, radiating true ‘lovingkindness’ and this will attract
those who would seek your help.
This really should not be too hard to do. After all, that spark which
will shine from you, is the original “I AM” which Eno bestowed upon you
all that time ago, and it will recognise and be recognised by the “I
AM” in those you meet.
Eno loves you, all of you, and is waiting patiently with open arms to
welcome you home, and to thank you for the wonderful experiences you
have created for It and all It’s children.
