Why I support and love as many as possible on this planet, Why you should help and support to learn to love as many as possible.
The more loving friends you have around you, the easier and more pleasant your own life. The more you support and help others in learning to love, in reconciling with enemies, the more you support other people's efforts to learn to love, the easier your own efforts to return home to God.
Our situation on this planet is most critical. Spiritually as well as environment or politically. Peace is far, economy is down but crashes even further. Most serious of all however is the fact that the vast majority of mankind is spiritually totally lost and disoriented.
Your very own spiritual situation can be compared to the situation of a bicycle racer on Giro D'Italia or Tour de France. No single cycle racer ever won the tour without team. While only the strongest ones ever can win the entire race, the joint efforts of an entire team is needed to prepare that final victory.
Your way home to God without team of loving helpers is like a trip around the globe all on your own, without employer - really all on your own. Are you strong enough to work, to travel, to finance a decade or lifetime of working traveling life across dozens of countries around the globe. Strong enough to cross continents, stormy seas, foreign and sometimes "strange" cultures and habits, countries of war, countries of terror, countries destroyed by natural disasters or illness? The strength you display now, today in such kind of global life is proportional to your true spiritual strength. Do you still need an employer, a government arranging things for you, social security in case you screw up your own life, social welfare if you waste your job opportunities, medicare to pay for your own mistakes to preventive care for your health before illness can occur, etc. Do you need employers or governments to survive, to get jobs, to earn your living and to support your family and loved ones across the planet? Or can you live and work freelance all on your own. Seeing work to be done, finishing jobs offered by you - just like in Mother Holle's fairy tale. Do you see work and accept work, any kind, all your life. Can you get along across all planet for year and decades?
Most fail to do so. Most need others to help, to protect, to care, to assure their lives. Hence most of you need helpers on your own way home as well. Make a self-evaluation of your very own true situation of strength with above paragraph and then decide to join a team of love unless you have proven to be strong enough across all planet. Overestimating your own strength is dangerous. If all life you hoped to make it all alone and the last minutes of your life you find out to have no idea how to continue then it may be too late to search for helpers. Those who now are your enemies may be those wanting to keep you back later on for your possible "next round on earth".
To walk hundreds of kilometers, to build huge projects such as the Banaue rice terraces is easy if you have a team of hundreds of friends sharing all life with you and investing all joint forces and resources with you toward a mutual common goal. All you need however is to find friends who really want to love and thus want to return home to God.
Very comparable is your own race home to God. As a truly strong person you may win a day or month in life against all temptations, all distractions and all darkness and turmoil on this planet. However only a few dozen or hundred manage to win an entire life all on their own against all odds and find their way home to God as a result of extraordinary efforts and iron self-discipline on the path of love toward freedom in God. Those tiny numbers of single fighters often had most intense past spiritual reincarnations. The current strength and spiritual orientation toward love and God is the sum of all previous reincarnations. Most humans on earth have been lost her eon earth or in comparable suitable environment for thousands and more years already. Hence even deep inside there is little memory of what to do or how to succeed.
Help is needed
While Millions gamble with your eternal wellbeing and have no problems in distracting you again and again from your path home. There are a few who sincerely are willing to lend you a helping hand. To team up with you and join efforts home to God. Just like in a racing team of cycle drivers, the more people you have in your own team, the more joint efforts are available.
Here an example of team efforts out of my own life:
Many decades ago, about early seventies in Bangladesh, I once sunk a small motor vessel, twin 75 HP inboard engines, weighing may be one metric ton. The old and worm damaged hull ran on an underwater wall and created a leak. Attempts to push the vessel off the underwater wall by nearby local helpers resulted in the vessel actually being turned over and sinking into the murky waters of Ganga river - may be 50-100 km upriver near Chittagong. Now the vessel was buried in about 5 meters of waters. A dozen or more local helpers immediately started the salvage operation, with no technical equipment what so ever. The most simplest tools only. To rig the sunken vessel by skin diving into zero visibility water, attaching a rope, etc ... Before sunset the vessel was up, floating and emptied of water and then towed to its home port in Chittagong.
All this salvage effort was done with most simple material, 2 small local boats, a few ropes, skills, knowledge and coordinated team efforts of a few people who apparently have done similar before. There was no discussion, no questions, no hesitation. Nearly a day of goal oriented joint efforts of a salvage team. That's all.
You are the wreck on earth! Hence there needs to be a team to rescue you. And you are the one to build your own rescue team! Who else ? If your own freedom and return home to God is worth nothing to you, who else but God should care about you?! You create your own helper team and you join all your own efforts with your team to make sure all your team joins home at once. The difference however is that the team helping you expects you to fully and actively cooperate with all rescue attempts offered to you by God and God's team of helpers here on earth!
On the way to God there is no race, there is no winner or looser. All are winners! Hence all invest all efforts of love, loving work, loving sharing loving helping each other and helping all until our love is strong enough to free us all. One team at a time, as many teams as team members are willing to refocus their lives, to review their lives and to start loving in all they do. It's never about force or power, it's never about money or profits, it's about developing pure divine love, about forgiveness, about sharing all with all and about and about caring for the wellbeing of all creation, all planet, all humans, all forms of life. Your own efforts in helping others to improve their love also will make your own loving easier. The more you forgive, the easier it is for others to forgive. May be on a hidden list known only to God - you too may need forgiveness from others, from your enemies or even from loved ones nearby ...
The more people you help to learn loving, the more helpers you have on your own way home!
In a team of rescuers all are equally important and all are willing to fully support the team goal. A family of love will find it infinitely easier to return home to God than a group of selfish single individuals. Yet even if one day in the past you joined a family of love, there is a chance that you got already absorbed again by the darkness and temptation of this planet with all the wars and political struggles going on. Too many people profit from war, from lawsuits, from destructions, from illness. The power of mass-hypnosis is far greater than most people may belief. Hence people get superficial, drop their guard and get caught again and again in the Taifuns of earthly life.
To be spiritual has nothing to do with refraining from having fun or enjoying life. True spirituality however has all to do with how you enjoy life, how you have fun, if you are able to share the joy of life with all world - or - if we have fun at the expense of most of the world. Are you interested and willing to create joy of life for others at your expense, with your own most intense efforts, during your own time? Are you willing the truly share all with all, join others and let others join you as equal beings? Can you accept being a ,member of a huge family with all family members earning the full and equal amount of God's love?
Imagine your neighbors helping you in your life
If you help others around you, family members, neighbors and foreigners thousands of kilometers away from you, then one day soon thousands of helpers around the globe will be members of your team. Interlinked across all planet, knowing each other or just knowing that there are "others" in the same team. Others you may never meet on earth - but later back in heaven.
A family of love - a love team joining forces can achieve any goal of love. YES we can! You too, but never while watching TV or while playing computer games, football or getting drunk or taking a joint or other drugs! Real goals demand full concentration and all available resources. My recent many thousand years as a spiritual teacher for this planet have shown countless "disciples" ready and willing to enjoy the fruits of spirituality, the benefits of Kriya Yoga, yet many of them never committed to the work that needs to be done to return home. To have dreams of a better future or a future in God is one thing, to realize, to invest true efforts, time, resources, even money to achieve that goal is a totally different story on this planet among dreaming disciples.
God is a loving father
Every loving father loves to see all children happy. Fearful children, children fearing self-created karma, never can be happy children. Weak children never can be happy children. To enjoy life you need to be free. To be free you need to be strong. To be loving you need to be strong. To be helpful and a source of joy, a source of value to others, you need to be strong. Strong in body, mind and soul. Hence to be strong as lover you need to practice love. Practice love beyond ideas or love games on computers or social networks. Practice love in real life, in slums, in construction sites, in farms and gardens. Practice love where work needs to be done, where action is needed. where commitment is needed. Be ready to work until job done, if necessary day and night!
Imagine your own future - even some of your own children start working for you, with you, toward family goals. Some of your neighbors join you in your daily work and efforts to create a happier world. You travel and meet friends of your heart that invite you, hug you, offer you jobs and a place to sleep. People from remote places around the globe share love with you and help you pull on one string in one same direction to pull the cart out of the mud. We humanity are the cart in the mud that needs to be pulled out! We need to accept all help available. To earn help we have to display our true intentions, we have to make clear commitments and prove our commitment in public. We have to offer our help - but we have to learn to offer strong help rather than to offer our laziness or weakness. It is well within our own potential and opportunities to work harder, to learn more, to improve our overall responsibility, reliability, quality consciousness and intensity of efforts in creating and following simple but powerful solutions of love in all our situations of life. The more people learn to love, the more friends you and your children AND later grand children may find for their own way home to God.
How many people help you depends on how many people benefit from your very own help. Spread the message of love, live true love in your life. Promote God's love. Huge distances are nothing more than the sum of many small steps. Start now and keep on step by step. Every single hour counts. Love is free, love is powerful but love needs to be learned again and then practiced in as many different challenging situations as possible.
Love and Bliss
