Differences in religious worship
are natural and have developed as language differences have developed in
different regions but these differences are superficial and need to be ignored
than prioritized, to promote a peaceful and harmonious world where different
breeds can live together as an unanimously evolving consciousness.
This is an excerpt from the book : Spirituality In Education - Redefine success as Rising Optimism, Peace and Happiness
Walls of division or national/state
boundaries have been cultivated from the primitive era, when fear of losing resources was paramount.
Due to habits of continued negative thinking, people remained trapped in
feelings of deprivation which led to racism & nationalist feelings being
promoted in school syllabi. In the modern world, where there is no real
scarcity of resources and technology is available to spread benefits of
development to all, almost one-third of financial resources of national
governments are spent on defense expenditures which can instead, be used for development of health, education
& peace in the masses.
Competitiveness and violence still
continue to be a major tool of survival used as is evident from the stature of
armies which all countries maintain to defend themselves from the competitively
cultivated enemies. While minor crime can be controlled by maintaining a police
force , the need for maintaining armies indicates that investment goes in
planning large scale monopolization of resources over fair distribution of
goods & services, irrespective of region, religion, caste, class or creed.
The development of abundance consciousness would be much
easier if countries work on international trade with peace, without the need to
spread terrorism, threats & fear. In today’s advancing world of the
internet and world wide unification of thoughts, there is no continuing real
need for creating national boundaries for safeguarding resources of food and
shelter, as was in the primitive era.
God represents peace and harmony in
every religion but our education system stresses more on differences in regions
and religions than unanimity and thus, fails to teach that all religions
essentially uphold the same principles of love, understanding and Oneness. Differences
in religious worship are natural and have developed as language differences
have developed in different regions but these differences are superficial and
need to be ignored than prioritized, to promote a peaceful and harmonious world
where different breeds can live together as an unanimously evolving
consciousness.
The concept of nationalism creates
mental walls, and promotes egotist racism, which leads to inequalities in
distribution of food, services and benefits of technology. Economic
inequalities are subsequently used by religious leaders who instigate the poor
against the rich by quoting religion as the reason for disharmony/war whereas
the underlying reason is always a need to amass more wealth for self over
others, coming from the animal-mindset. People of every religion need economic
welfare equally but the need to compete makes people brand their own God as
superior to another, thus creating a need for anger/ violence.
Education and literacy are
meaningless if they do not lead to creation of a happier and more peaceful
world. If an increase in overall happiness was targeted instead of the need to
be superior to others, there would be no need to glorify the self over others
and create economic inequalities to feel powerful.
When belief in having surplus
increases with faith in overall abundance, happiness spreads as insecurity of
each individual reduces. Each person
feels safe about spreading happiness and helping others as accentuating welfare
of each other increases mutual satisfaction, happiness, peace, faith &
optimism. Contributing towards growth of positive energy in another’s life
raises the frequency of positive energy in self while creating vibrations of
abundance which spread peacefulness to several others.
Peace in the world is a direct
outcome of individuals feeling at peace in their own lives; as the more
restless and competitive individuals feel, the more are tensions and wars
created at the mass level. Mass consciousness is a sum total of individual
consciousness.
Change begins from the
individual and reaches the masses where it can be accepted or discarded. To
evolve to a happier and more peaceful world, the rudimentary mind-set of using
force & violence needs to be replaced by deliberate training given to individual
young minds to feel abundant and not competitively judged; so that the whole
structure is motivated to think differently and evolution speeds up as attempts
are focused upon completing each other’s deficits more than competing with each
other’s talents.
