Victims of the Power of Mind

At this time in human history, people are feeling ever more helpless and vulnerable amidst problems apparently out of their control. Governments the world over are corrupt and struggling with debt, violence and aggression are gaining strongholds in every area of society, and fear and worry are running rampant. People are pushing forward, doing their best to ignore the news, yet they live with the constant shadow of potential loss, pain, and shock. Pushed into a corner, our response is to attack and fight. Such paradoxical phrases as “the war against drugs”, “the war on terrorism”, or “the fight against poverty” have not only become commonplace, but globally accepted obligations.

We are here to tell you that problems, in all their myriad of forms, only appear to be in the world “on the outside”. We have become involved so deeply in a dream, that it is no longer possible to distinguish our thoughts from reality. We presume, because of the apparent randomness and complexity of manifest thought-forms, that it is happening to us. This is the foundation of an unfathomable illusion, incomprehensible only to the separate and distinct personal mind.

Truly, through our confusion between thought and reality, we have presumed the role of the victim. From within the psychology of victimization, we project our visions of darkness into a tangible, living, breathing reality. This reality reinforces our sense of victimization, effectively paralyzing us and preventing us from recognizing the root of the original problem.

A Solution for Every Problem

The world can be changed. This change cannot take flight, however, until a critical mass of humanity has awakened to The Vision and recognized the source from which all problems arise. Our movement’s primary aim is to create this shift in humanity, and the means by which the shift occurs is through transmission.

As more and more people are initiated in Our Way and follow through the process to mastery, The Vision will gradually become more intensified through its amplification. By releasing our need to find solutions to problems in the very place where problems appear, we give the gift of energetic transparency. This gift enables and empowers us to invoke wisdom, intelligence, and joy in each other and ultimately, the world at large. Through this process, the collective barriers and filters that have anchored themselves in the minds of humanity begin to incrementally drop away and deeper and wider inroads to all necessary solutions and innovations begin to manifest.

The Greatest Gift

Billions of people the world over live in poverty. Signs of scarcity and lack can be found in every corner of the planet, with developing countries carrying the greatest burden. When we look at the percentage of the world’s population that is suffering from starvation, air and water pollution, lack of access to education, lack of electricity, or insufficient public transportation, the numbers are staggering. Even in the wealthiest countries, deep suffering is present at every turn.

Those that are more fortunate are responding in the best way they know how. They give money to charitable organizations, donate food and clothing, and volunteer to provide help where it is most needed. Nonetheless, control over scarcity and lack in the world seems to be constantly slipping through our fingers. Although everything we are doing to help those in need is absolutely necessary to bridge the gaps in time and space, it only temporarily relieves people of their tortured daily existence. A perpetual and consistent cycle of effort is necessary to support this stream of help. Though we can’t keep pace with our expanding population, we must continue to do everything in our limited power to bridge those gaps. But we have become so absorbed in the desire to help, that we have cut ourselves off from the greatest gift of all.

The journey to the eradication of poverty begins in the least likely of places: the mind. By clearing our minds and becoming transparent to our True Self, we come to the gradual realization that all suffering is a physically manifested experience of the dreaming mind. The greatest gift of all that one can give to humanity is by becoming a conduit. In this way, you are no longer allowing just a trickle of insight to come into reality through your desperate manipulation of people, places, and events for the greater good. As a conduit, you are an open, radiant light, absolutely ignorant of its own effulgence, intent only in pouring joy and conscious freedom into others, thus “gathering” them into that state.

We must understand that we tend to solve our problems by giving them energy. By attacking them, fighting with them, and manipulating the factors that give rise to them, we are, in effect, meditating on them and, thus, ensuring their repetition. We must continue to bridge the gaps in time and space, giving money, clothes, food, shelter, and other forms of help to those that need it. But senior to this activity must be the gift of transmission. By sharing this radiant state with those that suffer, we shine a light into the depths of their being, transmuting, and thus eclipsing, their physical and emotional problems in ways beyond ordinary human comprehension. By an ever increasing absorption in this giving activity, we not only set ourselves free, but those that suffer as well, from illness, poverty, psychosis, anger, hatred, violence, and all other forms of lack. Negative mind-forms are eradicated not because we have removed them but because they are no longer able to live, finding nothing in consciousness to attach to and feed upon. This is the key.

Transformation of Wealth

Wealth can be interpreted in many ways, whether it be financial, emotional, intellectual, or even spiritual. The wealth our movement aims to transform, however, is of the monetary sort. Monetary wealth can assume many physical forms, from currency to precious metals and gems to stocks and bonds. Over time, society’s definition of money has changed from the bartering of needed objects to the exchange of rarities (currency being “rare” for the majority of the world’s population), yet it has always been based on a single, powerful principle: the perception of protection from scarcity. In modern times, it is virtually impossible to provide one’s self with food and shelter without the possession of some form of currency. If no such currency is available, then a person must rely on the charity of others for these basic human needs or, in increasingly uncommon cases, live off privately or collectively owned land.

In the Way of the Giver, wealth and all signs of it are seen as physically manifested symbols of a mental state of wholeness. It is a reflection of the infinite mind that is our True Identity, expressed in the apparently finite structures of time and space. Ultimately, the symbols are of no intrinsic importance to humanity. What we truly value are the physical benefits and state of mind that they apparently confer. As we look upon world poverty, we have confused a lack of basic resources with a perceived state of being.

Our movement’s aim is to create a radical shift in the way humanity perceives and experiences reality. We support existing humanitarian efforts, including charities and other non-profit organizations, but our approach to resolving problems in the area of human resources and, in particular, wealth, is via the alignment of currency systems with Our Vision. It is our intention to conceive, plan, and realize humanitarian projects through the exclusive and enlightened guidance of masters of The Way. Unlike non-profit organizations, we believe in abundantly compensating those that bring our projects into reality, empowering them to become leaders in the world, in complete command of any and all necessary financial and material resources to realize their purpose. In this way, all projects that flow from our organization (or are inspired by it) will be perfectly resonant with our way of perceiving and creating change in the world.

Ultimately, we believe it is possible to eliminate currency from the sphere of humanity and realize greater harmony and peace than ever before imagined in our history. Before that becomes a real possibility, we must begin with the wealth structures that are in place and gradually work to transform them.
