(W)hole® Contemplative Education: Personal Peace, for Global Conflict-Resolution

March 17th, 2009

Dear Contemplative Friends:

In order to avert the collapse of civilization, timely adjustments in our perspectives can be efficiently and effectively cultivated through contemplation. Thereby, as sage principles are regularly contemplated for self-empowerment, negativity can be positively reformed, and collective peace begins to inherit the future, one willing soul at a time.

In everyday experiences, change amasses or reduces everything, even historical limitations. Consequently, for practical applications to life, day by day, our perspectives can be transformed for higher understanding of consciousness. Daily, cultivating progressive concepts for character development actualizes the natural way (Tao) for universal conflict-resolution, integrated into general human development. Daily, the means whereby the cosmos transforms future chaos is by means of individuals, constructing reflective dialogues, to positively reconstruct the meaning of the past.

(W)hole® Contemplative Education: Personal Peace for Global Conflict-Resolution

March 17th, 2009

Dear Contemplative Friends:

Facing vexations with perspectives marked by less than comprehensive orientations, we generally frustrate the peace we commonly desire. Consequently, all around the world, those who desire wisdom for conflict-resolution historically confront deficiencies, resistant to timely change. It follows then that no matter how confident or sincere we may be, without timely insights to strengthen virtues for renewal, positive intentions to empower profound change will nonetheless be stymied. Therefore, to cultivate creative challenges to the daily grind of habitual dispositions, genuinely (W)hole® perspectives must be contemplated to enact global success.

Authentic success must reflect change; and the contemplation of (W)hole® sage perspectives is how personal change can magnify, solidify, and broadly engender manifold creativity. Thereby, as one and then more responsible individuals contemplate principles for superior self-cultivation, collective empowerment for world peace begins, only by means of one individual at a time.

On the road to making a difference, Dr. Martin L. King said, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” Concerning global conflict-resolution as the crown of human development then, more and more people of good will must come to understand that Understanding the nature of change, changes the nature of understanding.

In order for individuals to self-cultivate global change, contemplating principles for superior character development offers the broadest pathway for enlightened human development. And, on the road to peace, only courage to reach the highest truth leads deep enough to attain the goal. Principles for timely compassionate action are roots to the Cosmic Tree, that feed flowers and fruits of wisdom. Therefore, since reliable resources for timely inspiration are needed to lift hope from despair, this blog is a contemplative resource for superior character development.

Dear Contemplative Friends:

Concerning the state of the world, Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.” Elsewhere, C.G. Jung said, “It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing.” Therefore, it may be said that since neglect for refining “the art of seeing” dims the light in what we believe, faith based on unrefined perspectives constitutes a barrier to health, throughout society.

In the landscape of human relations, discord arises from untimely dispositions.
And, where ignorance breeds conflict between opposites, hell grows where contemplating high principles could evoke heaven, to attend to our lowest tendencies. Based on the character of the landscape in our relations, principles integrate to resolve chaos, or disintegrate to disfigure humanity.

History is so haunted by confusion that darkness is customarily mistaken for clarity.

March 17th, 2009

Dear Citizens:

History is so haunted by confusion that darkness is customarily mistaken for clarity. Yet, even as the actual return of light seems hopeless, anyone disciplined enough to try once and then again, enacts the only way for collective wisdom to genuinely evolve.

Commonly laced with arrogance, deception, and denial, habits of perception haplessly clash and struggle for power; featuring money, patriotism, sex, class, and race as tools for fooling change, victimized by convention. Consequently, the opposite of real good being done is more familiar than relatives, and more broadly accepted as a welcomed guest in our homes than the saints we claim to adore.

Personal customs of thought are so filled with so little wisdom that collective forces are spawning a universal road to hell. Nonetheless, hopeful change can still go no faster than step by step, and one individual at a time. Therefore, individuals endeavoring to manage endless potential pitfalls must become an art, formed by character, cultivated to end the possible end of mankind.

Against the background of a growing storm, contemplate the voice of hope, and discover that character development for global conflict-resolution is the antidote to personal despair. Against the background of corrupt ideas, contemplate positive principles and reconceive human development, graced by change.

Contemplative Steps for Heaven on Earth; Celebrating Dreams Distilled to Finally Awaken the World

March 17th, 2009

Dear Contemplative Friends:

As I might imagine it, my name may as well be “Rev. Change”, or as in ancient tribal settings, I may well have been called “Awake-Filled-with-Dreams”. But, since in my dreams my dreams come true, the importance of my name doesn’t compare to the truth I dare to imagine.

I dream that the truth is that on October 2, 2022, people everywhere are widely connecting with people everywhere else, “Celebrating Dreams Distilled to Finally Awaken the World”. And, where I imaginatively live, I am walking in my yard to a rocky ledge that I think of as a natural pulpit. My pleasure is exhilarating, as in a happy harvest of colors, I am moving with autumn leaves, breezing before and behind me. Awake, filled with dreams I imagine a baby yawning, then giggling a warm breath into its young mother’s laughing face. Then, as the baby’s young father bends to kiss his child, its little foot playfully kicks daddy’s chin. After framing the little foot, face, giggle, kiss, kick, and surprise in tender emotions, I turn to the mountains to pray.
