The WAY

#2

Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is there a God and does this
God care for me? What happens when I die? Why is there so much pain in the
world? How do I change the world into a better place? Are there no answers?

Yes. There are answers to all these questions and all the others that will
ever arise. The first step is to believe in your own capacity to find them.
The second is to become as a child in spirit, as well as mind. As children,
the world is a place filled with wonder, each day bringing new knowledge
and the anticipation of things yet learned. It is this same desire that you
must place in your hearts. If you can accept these two truths, then you
will have taken the first steps in finding your own Way.

What is the Way? The way is a path you choose to guide you back to where it
all began. Back to the One. The One is the source of all life in the
universe. There are only two forces in the universe. Creation and
Destruction. The universe and all matter in it goes from a high order to a
low order. Life goes from a low order to a higher order. The universe
destroys, life creates. The One is this creation force at its highest
level. The goal of all life is to create and by the act of creating become
as One. You as a lifeform are part of all the life in the universe. You
started out at the lowest rung of the ladder and have worked your way up.
It is now time for you to realize and accept your own role in the plan of
creation. You are capable of creating, and are therefore a creator. You are
not the One but part of the One in all life. Your goal is to begin at the
bottom, reach the top and then return with that knowledge and experience,
back to the One. This process unfolds over the lifetime of a world and is
both of a physical, and spiritual nature.

The lifeforce that resides in a physical form is enlarged and matured over
the course of many lifetimes. Starting at the single cell level, a lifeform
will progress upward through increasingly complex biological containers in
a process of birth, death and rebirth. It is the evolutionary process of
all life, and all life is bound by this law of the One. Evolution is the
creation of a more complex lifeform from less complex lifeforms. You will
work your way up the ladder of life until you reach the point that your
spiritual enlightenment is so great that there is no physical lifeform
complex enough to contain you. It is at this point that you leave the
restrictions of the physical behind and merge with the other lifeforms who
have reached this level. Together you will form the great collective spirit
that is called the One.

This is the path you are now on. In terms of progress, you are halfway
home. Why? Because you have reached the complexity level of sentience. You
are no longer an animal simply following genetically defined behavior
patterns alone. You now have the capacity to change the course of your own
destiny by conceiving of a new way or reality in which to exist. You have
now become children of the One.

Before you, lays the path back to the One. The end of this path can only be
reached by those who create. Now that you are aware, you can choose to
create or destroy. The more advanced you become, the more polarized toward
creation you will become. The elimination of destructive actions is the
Way. There is a right Way and a wrong Way. But there is only One Way home.

You have heard it said by some that actions are not the path to salvation,
that by faith in a certain belief you are saved. I tell you that you are
the sum of your actions and it is by them alone, that you may gauge your
own spiritual level. If you are capable of the wrong actions, then you are
wrong from within. If you do right or good actions it is within you also.
It is this balance of spirit that is the judgment. The only faith that has
ever saved anyone, is the faith that comes from believing in yourself. You
are the only one responsible for your spiritual self development. It is a
long and hard process to be sure. You can only achieve so much per
lifetime. It is not an easy road to travel this road we call life.

There are others who say there is an easier path, just believe this or
that. But ask yourself this, and be honest, for the only one you lie to now
is yourself. If this were true, then life would be a piece of cake. It
would be a gift too good to be true for mankind. Now, have you ever had
anything that was to good to be true turn out t be real? The simple truth
is that life is a battle hard fought to win. But the true victor in it, is
you. I have heard you say you want a better world. Then you must be the one
to change it.

How do you change an entire world? One person at a time, starting with you.
You must do what is necessary to correct your own life. You must learn the
Way, in order to do this. I will teach you how, or rather make you
remember, that which you have forgotten. There is much to learn and even
more to unlearn. I will tell you about life on this world, and life on
other worlds. You are not alone, and in fact, other beings have had a major
impact on your particular world's development. Many of the problems that
you now face are not of your own making. Long ago, a race of beings came to
this world and interfered with that which was developing into mankind. It
has, over the years, done a lot of harm to your development. It is not the
only source of problems, and should not be blamed for all your ills. You
must take responsibility for your own actions, and do what is necessary to
correct them. This, and much more, I will tell you of. I will do my part to
teach, you must do your part and have the desire to better your world.

Everything that I will tell you has been said before. Lets hope you use the
gift of knowledge that is offered to better yourself and others. I do this
because I believe in you and that mankind is a noble and promising addition
to the Collective. I ask only that you believe in yourselves as I do.

I will leave you with the first lesson of the Way. To begin to become a
creator, you must create. One simple good deed is an act of creation. You
will create the feeling of happiness in someone else. Do one of these good
deeds each day. It can be as simple, or as great, as you wish to make it.
What's important is that as you do it, you realize the purpose behind the
action. It is not to gain points on your spiritual development chart. It is
to create a feeling in someone else. Your action will cause the birth of a
positive emotion in someone else. This is an act of creation, and you are
the creator. The deed itself is unimportant, the change in yourself
necessary to do it, is. You will find that making someone else happy
creates its own happiness within you. This emotion is a reflection of what
you are. It is the reward that creation offers to those who create in
others. It is the greatest gift the One has to offer and is part of the
Way.

Until we speak again, do unto others that which I have told you.

Peace be with you.
