GOD COSMOS AND ENLIGHTENED WAY

MAN:

       Once born every individual is caught in the web of will, which includes, among others, the will to live and survive, will to act and explore the world, will to freedom and independence to find one`s own way, will to dignity, security of life, and gaining respect for on`s ideas, thoughts and pursuits, as well as the will to know, will to change and establish one`s own will as the foundation of one`s life.  

       Will of every individual takes its form according to the nature of the world, which surrounds one at birth. The surrounding world creates the frame within which the mode of survival and challenges of life are determined. The knowledge available to the people around acts as the basis of one`s awareness of the reality and exploring the world further. It decides the ground on which the will manifests in the world and provides means to act. The perception of freedom of life are constrained by the necessities imposed by the reality of the world existing in given condition where one finds oneself. Freedom becomes synonymous with one`s efforts and striving for survival and ways of exploring the world to that end. By rising to challenge the world in order to enforce one`s freedom without knowing the reality of the world  one may jeopardize one`s chances of survival. So will needs to find its way in a field of competitions, where others are equally engaged in securing their grounds of survival and freedom. Those, who are born in families who already enjoy greater security and freedom in the society, are in privileged positions in fulfilling their will and individual freedom. The advantages come from many different sources:  The ownership of the resources, on which the people are dependent for their survival is one of them. By maintaining a hegemony  over properties and restricting access to the resources they won, the privileged class can secure their freedom and impose their will on others who are  in needs. Though the needy have freedom to challenge this order, it entails risks including loss of life, or greater enslavement in the hands of the powerful ones. Only a concerted mass uprising of those, who are deprived of freedom against the few keeping them in subjugation and control, can bring changes and create conditions of new freedom for the deprived.

      History of the human society is a history of the will and freedom of a few taking control of the rest. In most cases this disparity of power and freedom has been achieved by military means. Those, who have been able to harness power through loyalty of others who also wish to dominate and control the rest, and exploit the knowledge and technology of their time in pursuits of conquest, have become the rulers. Their rules have created the foundation of law and justice, in which the freedom of the population is conditioned to live. The power, the ferocity and the dexterity of the rulers decide the degree of enslavement in the world.

       Seen from the biological points of view, it appears as natural that those who can snatch, secure and command superiority by military means and can maintain hegemonic monopoly over the resources needed for survival are the winning specie. The nature chooses these people as the fittest candidates for the evolution of life.

 Tell me what is wrong in this analysis.

ENLIGHTENED MAN:

        The will you have analyzed describes the lower nature of man, which man has inherited from the animal world. It is true about the animal kingdom where one seeks to secure one`s life and security by dominating and controlling the others. By maximizing one`s own benefit, the animals can be willing to threaten other`s existence and survival. All human life are destined to live in a world where the animal nature of man still exists. So it is true.

 But remember that it is only a partial truth. Human beings have also inherited a higher-mind, which is quite different from the animal kingdom where natural necessities are the dominating factors in their behavior of freedom, survival and dominance. The higher-will moves in the world to free the mind from the captivity of these animal instincts, which all human beings have inherited with birth. The need to survive and seek security from the threatening forces are natural tendencies of all life.

       However, higher-mind seeks to free itself from the dictates of the material needs which generates the will to freedom, which may captivate others. The higher-will is a will to transcend the lower-will imposed by the conditions of the world. It acts and works in order to restructure the world in accordance with the will of the higher-mind. It is a power of the mind which can change the conditions of the law bound reality by using its capacity to reorient life in new modes, which are not confined to the necessities which make man prisoners of the world. This power is the power of the creative mind, which can create a new foundation of the world i.e. a new reality. For the higher-minds the reality is not any static and immobile field which remains always the same. The higher-mind works as the architects of a new reality which may create new conditions of freedom in the world. Such higher minds seek freedom which are not constrained by the material needs, or fear of power of people who try to impose hegemony over resources by military or other cruel means. Instead they create conditions of freedom by sowing awareness among the fellow human beings about the higher nature of man, and inspiring human beings to make use of the power of the higher-will to act against the lower nature of man.

      You may question that those, who are bound to the primary needs, how would they be able to bring forth this higher nature of the mind to their life? How would they be able to enjoy the freedom I am talking about?

       Remember that the higher will of man is not any will to free individual from his or her confinement, but it acts in all human beings as a force to free all from the confinement of the will driven by the instincts and the animal nature. Higher-mind sees the striving of freedom of  those, who remain imprisoned, as parts of the endeavor of freedom of their own life. By planting the seeds of higher-awareness of life, they inspire all human beings in the process of freedom which I have talked about.  

       So tell the fellow human beings about the existence of the higher-will and inspire them to act to free human beings from the conditions of the world where lower-nature of man still operates.

MAN:

       If higher-will exists and moves in the world, why have history seen the dominance of power of the men  of lower nature who are driven by the desire for power, greed and disrespect for other`s life and freedom? Why has the will of the lower man always triumphed and taken control of the development of history in the world? Why most human beings are still driven by the lower instincts which seek personal power, freedom at the behest of other`s captivity? Why are they blind to the needs of freedom and survival of other human beings? Why are we so self-absorbed in personal pleasures and devoted to enjoy unfair advantage? Why don`t we realize the unity of life with other human beings and co-operate, share, help and salvage those who are sinking  in the suffering of life?  Why don`t we see our foundation of freedom in the freedom which others may also enjoy?

ENLIGHTENED MAN:

        The civilization on Earth is still in its primitive stage. The human beings have not yet been able to rise from the darkened realm, which they have inherited from the animal kingdom. Though higher-mind moves in the world and guides human beings towards the higher path, the human history is still bound to the lower nature. With increasing knowledge and awareness about the true nature of the universe and meaning of life, humanity is gradually awakening. For the higher-mind to rule and take control of the circumstances of life one needs conditions in the world where the law-bound reality of the world does not have full control over the will of man. Once freed from the basic needs, and awakened to realize the true nature of creation and the relations which bind all life as one, the human civilization will follow the higher path.

      Higher-will moves in the world as spiritual force making people aware of the presence of one`s higher-nature. The religious teachers have brought to the world the messages of the presence of higher existence beyond the world which is bound to the will driven by the lower nature of man.

       The appearances of these higher-men redirect the movement of history towards a path of higher evolution.  Besides religion they also include the men of science who open understanding of the world in its greater depth and help the discovery of resources and means not known to the older world. Thus they change the ground of freedom and direct possibilities of growth of freedom in new directions.

       History has seen many such turns. What you see in the world now is a new crossroad, where the circumstances of reality as they have taken shape with the new knowledge, awareness and organizations of the social order, decide the premises of freedom for mankind. In spite of this development the nature of the lower mind is still operative and tries to gain advantage as it had done in the past. However, the societies as they evolve, develop new measures of justice and laws to safeguard and promote the will of the higher-man. In societies where these legal systems and humanitarian measures are well entrenched in the higher-will, the development of enlightened societies becomes more assured.

       In older time, religion used to provide the ground for the  presence of the higher-man as voice of compassion and love for all. Through teachings of respect, guarding and securing the dignity of all life and the messages of universal brotherhood the higher-mind has lived and acted in the world from very old time.

       The human beings are now at the crossroad of a new development. The older ideas, which once  formed the world view about the meaning of existence and moral and ethical behaviors, have radically changed across many cultures with the rise of scientific knowledge. It has opened a new dimension of reality, and paths of freedom which did not exist before. It has similarly given birth to new methods of subjugating and exploiting the fellow human beings. The lower mind, which has operated at all phases of history, still tries to take this new opportunity to rise and dominate the world by using the means of the modern age.  

       You should understand it as a natural movement of history through which the evolutions of human mind proceed from a lower to a higher stage. These lower minds play their drums all around. So you hear them everywhere. But be assured of the presence of the higher-will which moves in the world behind their noises.

 Go to the unenlightened one and offer him/her the security and freedom he/she needs and help him/her to see the light of the higher-man moving in the inner realm of your mind. Lift the one who is suffering; love the one who is living in darkness and thrown in the dungeon of ignorance. Show compassion to all. This is the power of the higher-mind which will enlighten the world.

MAN:

       This teaching is nothing new. It has been preached for ages in the past. Why have not mankind made more progress and learned to overcome the lower nature and triumphed over the instincts which belong to the animal kingdom? What is there in human nature which can not be changed? Why the same will, which has shaped the history of societies and nations, have returned again and again to haunt freedom and justice in the world? Is it the natural order of the creation that the powerful will win and subjugate the one, who can not defend himself/herself against the one who rises to claim power over others? What is new in our time?

ENLIGHTENED MAN:

        The will acts in the world while world conditions the  will which reacts back. The will is in constant action against the forces in nature which acts as barriers to the fulfillment of the will.  By eliminating the old world and the conditions which once formed the reality of life, the will generates a new world where it seeks higher opportunities of development of life.  The new circumstances create new conditions and motivate the will to react back to transform it again in order to create a better mode of existence and freedom of life. So the will moves in the world, and the world carries the will in its womb. Once living in the world the will never ceases because will is a reflection of the world where one lives. This is natural. It can never change.

       Will to subjugate, will to triumph, and will to explore new ways of living,  which may secure life and bring more comfort, are natural attributes of the will of woman and man as long as one feels threatened by the challenges of circumstances which prey on them. When the conditions of security is guaranteed and one enjoys the possibilities of development of oneself as a free human being, the animal instincts give away  and are replaced by the will of the higher-mind.  The existence of the higher-mind is similarly natural to man.

        Higher-man emerges in the conditions of freedom and security of life than in the circumstances when man battles and fights for one`s survival. Security is a natural condition for the emergence of the higher-nature of man. When someone, strengthened by security of one`s life, engages in threatening the security and freedom of fellow human beings, it becomes unnatural  and detrimental to the progress and evolution of man towards a higher path.

       Injustice in the world appears when ignorance of this nature of the will leads man to claim one`s unfair share by brutal methods, or treacherous means. This can only be halted by the process of enlightenment  of the human mind. Although the words of love and compassion have been preached for ages, human kind has not yet been able to reach the stage of culture and civilization where the higher-man may take hold of power in all  minds. Human kind pursues the process of progress or regress by following the higher man or the lower man as the foundation of his/her will.

       History is the indicator of such progress or regress. At every crossroad of history, which brings new developments, affecting changes in the old system, the natural forces of the will take guard to defend the freedom and security of life. Misjudgment about  the way the will may move to actualize this freedom can bring one to the fallen path. As I have said, it is not natural for a higher-mind to dominate and triumph over others. The enlightened minds see the contribution they may make in enhancing freedom, growth and development  of life of the fellow human beings as the indicator of success of their own life. In the realm of the higher-man all human beings belong to the same home which provide same security and love to all.

        This teaching of love has been repeated again and again in the past by many religious and wise women and men. You ask: In spite of these teachings, which had been passed over to mankind for several millennium, why do the human beings still clamor to  their lower nature? Why haven`t  they progressed higher by now?

       Know that at every crossroad of change of history, new realities emerge and give opportunities to some human beings to take advantage of the new world. They rise in power by replacing the others who had held power earlier. The awareness and knowledge of this rising class about the existence of the higher-will and its importance in building a new world, have been pivotal to the development of history. In modern time the financial class have triumphed. They are dictating the behaviors of freedom of others and working for the realization of the will which will support the security of preservation of their power in the world. Many unenlightened minds have rushed in to take this opportunity provided by the progress of science. Thus the world has fallen from its higher-path.

       With this fall the world is also rising.  Know that the nature of the higher-man is on the surge in order to counteract the fallen state of the people, who do not believe in any spiritual existence in life. Though you remain bound to live in the world, dominated by the will of the unenlightened women and men, keep faith in the nature of the higher-man, and seek in your acts and deeds the presence of the spiritual being who is working for bringing freedom to all.

MAN:

       Not only the cultures are transforming with the impact of the financial forces, supported by technological innovations, the human beings are also becoming pawns in the hands of the few who control and dominate the financial flows and technological development. People are being transformed as mechanized robots who exist as parts of a mechanical world in order to run and perpetuate the system. It is a state when productions of goods and markets are overpowering all other values, which human kind once cherished in the past.

       The world has become a war zone of financial powers contending for hegemony in the world. The ordinary people exist in order to secure the life and movement in the system which the warmongers need for perpetuating the civilization of today. Values, outside the values of money, which may bring purchasing power for survival needs as well as buy freedom, leisure and comfort, are replacing all other values of life.  By pumping more and more items of consumption in daily life, and attracting people to the lower nature of the will, the modern system is manipulating and securing its hegemony. Today`s technology has now become so advanced that all information about the individuals can be stored, analyzed and made use of in order to coerce, kill and eliminate those who may appear undesirable and potential threats to the system. Military sophistication is moving in tandem with this development. Now wireless and unmanned vehicles can be programmed to kill and eliminate the ones who may oppose. How shall higher-man may rise in this world where the institutions, which once communicated the messages of the higher spiritual man, have succumbed to this newer power of the unenlightened mind.

       It is speculated that the robots may soon take control over the human affairs. The owners of these robots would be only a few, who would have complete command over the financial resources and monetary and material flow controlling the markets, advertisements and  mode of consumption.  They will have monopoly over the development of  war-technology and the capacity of surveillance over all human beings living on the planet. Only people loyal to these few, who would enjoy all wealth of the world, would be allowed to share the prosperity, freedom and comfort which rest of the world could never imagine. We are coming very close to that stage. How can any higher-man emerge in this world to counteract such demonic will?

       The rise of this force can only be challenged by the rise of equally evil power, which adopts similar means. These days the world is split into two major parts: One is the West and the other is the East. The people in the East is striving to stop the hegemony of the West, who are the innovators of the modern financial system and technology. Both sides are gearing up for financial wars with a hope to be able to crush the other side. They are also preparing for an eventual nuclear war. It is difficult to see how the higher-man may be able to make an inroad into this faithless world, where money and market decide the indicators of human progress and development.

        In every country of the world, those who have access to financial power and connection to the military industry, or military organization enjoy most advantages in the society. Most political parties and organizations have to take into consideration the interests of the military and financial giants in order to enjoy freedom of operation and survival in the present world order. Big industries supplying the goods and services to the consumer markets come next in the line in monopolizing the power in the society. Cultures which ally with these powers become the dominant culture in the society. Many societies in the West run this militarized market system under the cloak of democracy. How could the higher-mind replace this social-political order of our time?

       The people in the Muslim world, who once in history had enjoyed military mights and subjugated a large part of the world under their feet by using brutal force, now find themselves being defeated and uprooted from the dynamics of development of the modern world. Facing a weaker military technology, combined with lack of control over the financial system of the world, as well infighting raging among different factions of Islam which drain much resources and cause large loss of life, the vestiges of power in the Islamic world have faced crisis. By adopting means  of terror and promoting Islamic fundamentalism they are now trying to come to a position of power in the world stage. They fight against the superior financial and military powers, which rule the world today by the methods of terrors. They oppose the faithless world of the West and offer spiritual solutions to the followers of their religious faiths and social practices which are reminiscent of the  middle ages. Thus the world is further  torn  by these religious fanatics. How would the higher-man appear to reconcile these groups?

       In the bottom  of the pyramid  lies the majority of human beings who are poor and insecure. Many of them do not receive even one meal a day; many have no homes; many more live in shanty shades built in unhygienic environment without access to medical care; many suffers from lack of drinking water and are driven away from one place to the other due to natural hazards, or due to evictions by the owners of the lands where they may have built shelters in slums. Their children do not receive education, work in inhuman conditions as child labor  and are often abused and sold. In those  countries where democracies function as a political process, these illiterate people are drawn as hoards to fill the voting booths to cast vote for the exploiters in exchange of money or privileges of living illegally in the slum. Indignity, exploitation, corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for life of the poor are immensely ugly and inhuman. If higher-will exists in the world, if higher-mind is present in all, why the world has sunk in such an abyss?

ENLIGHTENED MAN:

       Know that the actions and deeds, which bind the human beings in life with the help of technological innovations and economic power in the way you have described, are evil acts of life. They act against the principles of reason and the natural order of existence of things. Natural order of the will does not intend to force others to submission or imprisonment. Nature welcomes forces which can assimilate, integrate and bind things together as a whole. Nature moves in the will to create a harmony of the whole.  The way you describe the development of the modern world is harbinger of chaos and disharmony in life. The power of  higher life can not be coerced by using means of the will derived from the lower nature of man. Higher-man will always triumph. Although chaos and disorder may appear to challenge the natural order of things, order will always return as natural harmony of existence. Why does such chaos appear in the world? You should understand it as a way to transition from a less evolved stage to a higher one. Such transition takes place by disrupting the old and establishing the new. The period when the old is absorbed in the new the process creates changes, which may appear chaotic, as you experience in the world.  Keep faith in the process which is deeply entrenched in nature and remain faithful to the power of the higher-mind. Tell your fellow human beings that the erroneous path, along which the unenlightened mind tramples the beauty of life, is a blind alley of the ignorant mind, and warn them from trudging such dark path. Instead ask them to discover the beauty which resides in all souls and follow the higher-mind as guide of the enlightened life.

       The social-political order, where the financial giants, and banks who invest in military industrial development and market forces generating demands for greater and greater consumer needs, which bring profit and growth of power of those who control and manipulate, is an unnatural order. By pushing the world along this aberrant path they are pushing the world towards a path of destruction. Be assured that nature will act and safeguard its harmony and natural order by removing the evil forces which try to bring chaos and disorder in the world. Keep no doubt that higher-mind exists and it will act to correct this abhorrent order. Even though you may not be able to see the presence of the higher-mind amidst the clamor and noise of the market forces generating the chaos in the world, know that it is working to set the world along an enlightened path.

        Remember that when will goes astray it may take many weird directions. The path of violence and terror is derived from evil intention of creating chaos and then take advantage of such a chaos with a hope to establish one`s will as the basis of power in the world. This is against the natural will of women and men, who seek peace and harmony through cooperation, sharing and love. By adopting terror and violence as methods to topple the financially and militarily superior people from their power the religious fundamentalists are calling for their own destruction too. Higher-mind does not seek violence and terror as method of bringing change. It seeks compassion and love for all as the way to transform the world. Be assured that the higher-will is working through all. Know that even the evil will face moments of its regret. Do not deviate from the path which can secure freedom for all.

      Fill your heart with love for the poor and the distressed. Walk among them and assure them about the power of the higher-mind, which acts in all. Show respect to all irrespective of economic condition, education, social status, their beliefs or background. Embrace all as members of your own family and feel in their sufferings your own responsibility in working and acting along the enlightened way. Follow the path of love as the path of the higher-man, who seeks to bring the poor and the distressed out of the abyss.  

       When the will goes stray and the world falls in a chaos, like the world you have described, the will of the evil may appear as the pivotal force of the reality of life.  The world is going through this phase now. It is unnatural and against the order where the higher-mind manifests. So work and act to establish the power of the higher-mind and help your fellow human beings to move along that enlightened path.

        Know that the world is moving towards destruction. With this destruction the higher spiritual man will rise as the guiding power of life. Be sure that the way the world has taken its course in modern time carries signs that the forces of destructions are at work. Ask human beings to be prepared for the days of renewal of life on earth.
