What Is Missing in the World?

The world appears to be in chaos in virtually every country. Food sources are diminishing and food prices are skyrocketing as well as the price of oil. In addition, we have climate changes with devastating earth changes such as fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis, which wreak havoc on populations and perpetuate famine, drought and diseases. It isn't a pretty picture and one can become depressed by thinking about it.

There are those who predict these are the last days of the Earth and it could be as we know it to be. However, from adversity can come wisdom. Adversities propel open-minded people to create new ways and new inventions, while others sink into an abyss of hopelessness. It is almost impossible to allow creative ideas to flow into the mind when one is harboring worry, stress, anger, resentment, jealousy to name a few emotions that feed hopelessness. Today there is a proliferation of road rage and now this rage is spilling over into office rage and spreading world-wide. This contributes to sinking into the abyss instead of moving into creativity.

Something is missing and it seems to have been hijacked by governments, corporations and religions. What is this missing ingredient? It is personal responsibility based on a code of ethics. The oldest code of ethics originated from ancient Egypt where the pharaohs ruled using a code of ethics as given in the Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Coming into Day. This code is the basis of the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and the Sermon on the Mount and others in all parts of the world. From E. Wallis Budge's translation, here are a few excerpts of this powerful code.

I have committed no evil upon men.

I have not oppressed the members of my family.

I have not wrought evil in the place of right and truth.

I did not rise in the morning and expect more than was due me.

I have not caused pain.

I have caused no man to hunger.

I have made no one weep.

I have not polluted myself.

I have not diminished the bushel when I've sold it.

I have not added to or stolen land.

I have not encroached on the land of others.

There is much more to this code and bringing it forward to the present day, I am simplifying it to say: Do not lie. Do not cheat. Do not steal. Do not gossip. Treat others as you wanted to be treated. In Nikko, Japan there is a famous carving over the entrance to the Temple of the Three Monkeys portraying see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.

During my many years on this Earth, I have changed my mind numerous times from believing I was a victim, no self worth, being jealous or envious to releasing all of that old thinking and emotions. How did I do this? I share this in my forthcoming book, Awakening the Genie Within to be released in August, 2008. My book is not really a memoir. It is a story of my awakening and moving from victim to being a woman who has gained wisdom from all of my experiences. I share the many tools, insights, stories that others can use to move forward in their lives.

Most people have no idea of the importance of the words they use and the thoughts they have. For each of us to move forward in our mental growth and evolution, we must shed the stagnation of beliefs we have held on to. These are limited beliefs perpetuated by religions, schools, governments and corporations. It is time for each of us to shed these shackles that chain us to the past and to live from a healthy environment of our mind. The time has come for everyone to release and give up prejudices, thinking we are better than someone else, thinking that one religion is the only way to salvation, and bigotry. I have learned that by giving these up that I am a able to love the spark of God or the Creator in everyone and not to condemn. This is what is missing in the world--freedom of the mind. Change your mind and you change your world.

HAVE A FUTURE NOW

A future now is an enigma to some or as some would say, it is a puzzle. How can a future be now? Haven’t you ever been told that one must have a goal – a dream? I have, and I have learned that the goal and dream will only happen if one doesn’t tarnish it with doubt and fear. How does one not tarnish her or his dream – goal?

First, let’s take the majority of the population of this world. Most have no dreams or goals. And why is this? They have allowed others to usurp their power. They have given their power away to the haves and become the have-nots. The haves are the ones who control the finances of this world and became the big corporate giants, who in turn control governments and the have-nots.

The haves use advertising, sports, fashions, cosmetics, video games, movies, television shows, the news media and religion to control and sedate the have-nots into thinking they are living the good life.

What is the good life? It depends on how it is interpreted. Let’s take one interpretation and we could say it is the path to the grave. Haven’t you heard the programmable phrase eat, drink and be merry because tomorrow you may die? Now, that is sad because the programmed good life is to become enamored with material things and to the need to be entertained. Thinking for oneself is not allowed. This is called herd mentality.

One has only to check out the parking lots of hospitals and medical centers and attempt to find a parking space – even at 7 in the morning. Multiply this with all the cities in the U.S. as an example. It is appalling to note that these powerless people are in actuality waiting to die.

Religion is the greatest detriment to having a future now. It doesn’t matter what brand of religion it is because if the main tenet is there is a god out there, it means one’s power has just been sucked away and given to an empty belief. And yes, religions have become corporate giants. These people – the powerless have-nots, have become the walking dead.

How does one move from being a walking dead or a member of the herd into becoming a future person? From my experience and perspective it means gaining knowledge and if the knowledge doesn’t make sense, say, as I have said, ‘it’s a possibility.’ This leaves a door open and other knowledge will come through the door to validate the first knowledge.

Why is knowledge so important? Because it allows one to dream wonderful dreams and have marvelous goals. There is an ancient adage that says ‘cast your bread upon the waters.” In other words, put your dreams into the water of the void and it will return to you. This is actually a reference to the quantum physics of creation.

Quantum physics is like an unlimited cauldron of soup to me and can be likened to an immense unlimited garden that can grow anything. By formulating one’s desire or dream into words or images in the mind, one focuses on it and this is the seed that is planted into the garden of the quantum. One waters it with an intent that it is and plucks away the weeds of doubt and fear. What does this have to do with the ‘future now?’ Everything!

The dream has been cast into the future and the coagulation of it in the quantum field becomes the now. The other ingredient to bringing a dream into the ‘future now’ is to have acceptance. To look into one’s mind and really ask, do I really accept this? is the greatest assurance that what was dreamed, as a future does become a now. It is a matter of becoming one with the dream. Some may call this treasure mapping.

Our brain is the mechanism we use to access the quantum world and frequency is important. Our dreams are sent into the quantum soup via the brain using a frequency that we must become one with and this is done by acceptance.

The quantum world has endless possibilities. Who would have ever thought that the technology of digital cameras would peek into another dimension and bring us photos of beings that are called orbs? It was dreamed into being. Perhaps these orb beings wanted to make contact with us. It is a possibility.

What else has been hidden away from our vision? So much! There are galaxies to explore and universes to visit with our minds. The ability to teleport objects from one place to another and for us to teleport us to another place. With the expansion of our mind, the possibilities are unlimited! The more we fill our minds with knowledge and tear down the boxes of limitations that block our acceptance, the more wonderful our world becomes.

Having been a student of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment for over 18 years, I find that my world and knowledge has been sharpened and enlarged. I would have never known about orbs or to throw my mind into the future, to know the meaning of the Void, which some call 'the aether', and also to study quantum physics, which I call 'soup'. It is a wonderful world.

It is all about Future Now. copyright: Bettye Johnson
