The great teachers, sages and wise ones of history have left us with many proverbs, sayings and instructions for living a good life. While most of these sayings are obvious in their meanings, others seem to be contrary to the very thing that these wise ones were teaching. Take for example Jesus, where he says, in Matthew5:34 “Resist not evil….” Now that is a rather strange saying for a religious teacher, isn’t it? What did Jesus mean by this?
It is my contention that, in addition to all of the many different ways that people sees and interprets who Jesus was – he was, above all, a profound mystic who was far ahead of the people of his time in terms of understanding the principles of the Universe and human nature.
He understood, for example, that when you focus your attention on something, you create a certain vibration or frequency which puts you in alignment (on the same frequency) with that thing. To say it simply:
“What you see is what you get.”
“What you think about, you bring about”
“What you focus on, you get more of.”
In other words, what you give your attention to, you actually align yourself with at a frequency level, whether it is something you want or something you don’t want.
Thus, when you fight against the thing you don’t want, you are giving it your full attention and, at a frequency level, actually empowering it. Exactly how this takes place is explained from a quantum physics perspective. With quantum physics we now have a clear scientific understanding for many things that the great mystics of history have known for eons.
Back to the point. When people wish to eliminate something that is undesirable, they often start a campaign to fight it, based on the antiquated idea of war. Thus, in the USA, we have seen the “War on Poverty,” the “War on Drugs,” the “War on Cancer,” the “War on Terrorism,” etc., just to name a few. Other parts of the world have other priorities and thus other ‘wars.’ Now the interesting thing is, they still have poverty, drugs, cancer, and terrorism, and in most cases the problems are actually worse now than when they declared war on them. It makes me wonder what kind of world we would have today if we had conducted a campaign for Prosperity for All, or Optimum Health for all, or the Campaign for Justice, Equality, Brotherhood, Peace and Prosperity for all – regardless of national boundaries?
An even more profound question is, what kind of impact would we have had on terrorism if we were spending TWO BILLION DOLLARS A WEEK in the Middle East (US current war budget), on health, education, social justice, and infrastructure development (water, electricity, roads, etc.) instead of guns & bombs?
All of our experience points to the fact that what we fight against (give our full attention to), we actually tend to empower.
Why? Because this is one of the fundamental teachings on global leadership. The kind of leadership that we need today is that which can carry us from the old consciousness which has brought us collectively to the brink of extinction to a new, visionary leadership which can carry us forward into a positive future. First and foremost this requires a change in consciousness. And this change is based on an understanding of the basic principles of how the Universe works; principles which have been the fundamental teachings of the world’s mystics and have more recently been confirmed by the science of quantum physics.
At this stage in our planetary history, we don’t need leaders/managers who can efficiently pilot a sinking ship. We need visionary leaders who can really see the hidden reefs and steer us in a new direction; for Africa as a start, then the global economy in general .
