The inexcusable crime of taking somebody’s life impacts both the murderer and the victim in unfathomable ways. Based on the spiritual wisdom of the author, by ending a life before its natural designated time has arrived, the killer devoids the victim of the life lessons he/she was supposed to learn in this lifetime.

We have no right to abruptly halt peoples’ lives before they have lived out their karma. And we are doing it. We have no right. They will suffer greater retribution if we let them live.

Patience and timing … everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more.

How many times did you change your vision or goals in life? And how many of those times, the reason for your surrender was fear? Succumbing to fear means giving up on oneself and not tapping into our potential.

You must eradicate the fears from their minds. It is a waste of energy when fear is present. It stifles them from fulfilling what they were sent here to fulfill: Take your cues from your surroundings.

The ominous warning of humans driving at their destruction at full speed should force the entire human race to mend their ways. Instead of indulging in an excess of anything and everything, we must pause and reflect while we still can.

Balance and harmony are neglected today, yet they are the foundations of wisdom. Everything is done to access.

…

In nature there is balance. Beasts destroy in small amounts. Ecological systems are not eliminated en masse. Plants are consumed and then grow.

…

Humankind has not learned about balance, let alone practiced it. It is guided by greed and ambition, steered by fear. In this way it will eventually destroy itself.

In today’s world of extreme competition, none of us — or, at least a vast majority of us — thinks twice in adopting immoral means to succeed. Without giving a second thought, we demean, stab, and kick each other to eliminate competition and move forward in life. But, where does that all the double-crossing get us in the end? Apparently, at the same place!

If a part of humankind is eternal, and there is much evidence and history to think so, then why are we doing such bad things to ourselves? Why do we step on and over others for our personal gain’ when actually we’re flunking the lesson? We all seem to be going to the same place ultimately, albeit at different speeds. No one is greater than another.

Sticking with the same set of people creates an illusion that we are in a protected circle of our own. Although this may be true, this behavior restricts our soul’s natural growth. According to Many Lives, Many Masters, mingling with a range of vibrations is more significant than we may realize.

I thought about how people tended to congregate in homogeneous groups, avoiding and often fearing outsiders. This was the root of prejudice and group hatreds. “We also must learn not to just go to those people whose vibrations are the same as ours.” To help these other people.
