Genuine caring, its power and the reasons why.
Please note.
In the following paragraphs some statements will be made that you will not understand. Do not worry about this now. All will be covered at later points and the understanding will gradually come. Just read with an open mind and try not to reject anything. Remember to reject is to deny and denial is just another face of fear. If we are to help, we must be brave. We must be open-minded and open-hearted.
Genuine caring is a mind-set. It is a state of mind and I use the term genuine caring rather than just caring, to emphasise it. We all care briefly and then move on and the caring becomes forgotten. Genuine caring is to make a point of caring, to never fully forget, to have it all the time at the back of your mind, ready to break out at a moment’s notice. That is harder and initially requires some conscious effort. Never forget that each day is a gift (a gift of caring at a higher level) and for you to care for that gift is like saying thank-you and a genuine thank-you is always heard, appreciated and warms the heart.
In future I will use the term ‘caring’ instead of ‘genuine caring’ but it is just an abbreviation for convenience, it means the same.
Caring is a mind-set and as such is extremely powerful. One soul caring is important, powerful and creates a ripple, two increases the power, 100,000 can start creating shock waves affecting all around them. One million can start to change the reality of their country and a billion can change a world. Nothing can change without the caring, everything will change with it, regardless of what governments and dictatorships do. It is the people of the planet that hold sway over the planet’s reality. Theirs is the power and also the responsibility. Another word for caring is love.
Conclusion
Caring is the essential element for change. Without it nothing will change for the better. Virtually all of us care but not enough. We need to energise, increase the caring on a personal level. Caring does not make you weak – it makes you strong. (A by-product of being caring [loving] is the wonderful affect it has on your own body. There is no greater elixir [medicine] for good health).
Tips to energise caring and to help make it an everyday part of our reality.
1. Think of the things or actions that make you most happy, that give you the most pleasure. It could be sport, gardening, your job, fast cars (or any cars), a drink or meal with friends in the pub, a love of nature and animals, a walk in the woods or hills, films, bungy jumping, charity work, rock climbing – whatever it is, providing it is not something that is doing hurt then imagine how you would feel if that aspect of your life was lost (taken away). Life would seem less bright and fulfilling. You may even become depressed. If our caring levels don’t increase there will be much loss and much of the society as we know it will change. This will almost certainly affect you and your special pleasures. Next time you’re enjoying one of your favourite pastimes think about losing it. It will probably be an uncomfortable thought but do it at least once every time you are enjoying yourself and then think how can I protect (maintain) this pleasure indefinitely. The answer is by caring (for yourself, other people, nature and the planet). Your joy in the physical is a gift but it is not free. The price you must pay is to care. This is balance.
If your special pleasures embrace control, hurt, killing or pain for anything else then you have a problem because you are self-hurting. The hurt you do to others you do only unto yourself. This is a spiritual law as is balance. You will have to balance the hurt you do in your future, you cannot escape and that is why you are self-hurting because you are creating a darker, harder future for yourself. You need to change; your personal happiness depends on it. Start caring (loving) yourself more. You are such a special soul. Just realise it and embrace caring for yourself and others. (Remember life starts now. The past is gone. If it shames you then change it.)
2. Think of how nice it makes us feel when we know by the action of others that they really care for us. We could not get by without it. It makes us feel safe and loved. It helps us be less fearful. It gets us through the day. Everything and everybody else feels the same as you. They want, need your care as much as you need theirs. So, give more, be more caring and thereby in balance, watch more come back. Remember the human being can be a very dangerous and destructive animal. We have many facets. Some have to be curbed. Caring leads the way.
3.The planet is being lost for life on Earth as we have known it. This is not an opinion it is a fact. We are in a tunnel which is dark and we are walking inward. If we turn around, we can still see the light, it is not too late. We need to turn around while we can still see the light. It is now – tomorrow it will be dark. We are the last generation that can heal the hurt. But we need to care. Enough said.
P.S. The tunnel mentioned in this section is symbolic.
4. You need to care – your future depends on it. The next chapter embraces your true nature and why this particular life is so important.
