How Are We Supposed to Live?
How then do enlightened men and women actually live?
Ask yourself.
Meditate on this question.
Find concrete answers.
Find solutions that you know in your heart will work.
This is what I envision：
First of all, life on Planet Earth, humanity as we know it, is evolving. This means we are capable of evolving, becoming better, higher, more loving.
We must“do unto others”……There is no other way, no other viable solution for ourselves or for the Planet.
And this“doing unto others”includes right thinking, too. In the next stage of our evolution our thoughts will be visible.（Forthose who are sensitive, they already are.）Thus……doing unto others includes envisioning and seeking for others the very same Good that we envision and seek for ourselves. Yes, the Good of One is the Good of All.
This also means seeing the Divine in everyone, including people we dislike and our so-called“enemies”. We may condemn the way other people behave. In other words, we may dislike the outer man or woman and denounce his or her behavior, but we must recognize and salute, at all times, the Divinity within each and every person we meet on our way. We must wish them well and envision the Highest Good for them too, or again as Frederick Bailes put it：constantly entertain“an intense desire for the well-being of others.”
With this in mind, we will always make the right choices, for ourselves and the Planet.
Make That Shift Right Now.
Now is the time to practice Right Thinking. Now is the time to focus the power of your thoughts on the Highest and Best you can conceive of. Now is the time to move from old, outdated, worn-out models of existence and ego-based competition to actions which are in harmony with Nature and which promote love, health, peace and harmony among all Creatures and Beings on the Planet—for the Highest Good of All Concerned.
And make sure your thoughts are always Positive, Constructive, Beneficial and Specific in all of their aspects. For yourself and for everyone else. Use your power as a Conscious Choice-Maker wisely. Envision and manifest Deep Peace, Wisdom and Understanding, Perfect Health, Inexhaustible Vitality, Unshakable Joy, Wealth, Prosperity and Overfowing Abundance for yourself and for everyone else on the Planet.
Feel the Joy.
Think positively about the Planetary Shift in Consciousness that is taking place right now. See it happening. Feel it happening. Feel the Joy of it. Know in your Heart of Hearts that we, together, we the Conscious Choice-Makers, are now transforming Planet Earth, our home, into the Heavenly Paradise we see in our Minds'Eyes. See it, feel it and believe it……and it will manifest.
We are, all together now, who are singing and dancing, on the Road to Power!
And so it is.
我們該怎樣生活。
文明的人們究竟該怎樣生活？
問問你自己。
考慮一下這個問題。
找出具體的答案。
找出你心裏的解決辦法。
以下就是我的預想：
首先，在地球上生活，人類就如我們所知道的——進化。這就意味著我們有進化能力，會變得越來越好，越來越高級，越來越博愛。
我們必須“影響他人”……沒有別的方法，對於我們自己或是地球來說，沒有其他可行的解決方案。
而且，“影響他人”也包括正確的思想。在我們進化的下一個階段，我們的思想也變得有遠見了（對於那些靈敏的人，他們已經具備了）。因而，“影響他人”包括為他人預想和尋求我們自己所預見和尋求的善事。是的，一人之善即世人之善。
這也意味著看到了每個人的非凡之處，包括我們討厭的人和我們稱之為“敵人”的人。我們也許會聲討他人的行為。換言之，我們也許是討厭其他人，聲討他們的行為，但是我們必須認識和尊重那些我們沿路遇到的每一個人的神聖，並且一直這樣做。我們必須祝福他們安康，並預見他們的盡美盡善，或者正如弗雷德裏克·貝爾斯的意思：始終接受“為了使他人安康的強烈欲望”。
將這種觀念牢記在腦中，我們就會一直作出正確的選擇，為了我們自己和我們的地球。
立即作出轉變。
現在是實踐正確想法的時候了。現在該將你的思想力量集中到你所想到的至高和至優的思想上了。現在要從老套、過時和破舊的存在模式和基於利己主義的競爭中解放出來，並與自然和諧一致，促進地球上的所有生物及人類的愛、健康、和平與和諧的發展——為了盡美盡善。
確定你的思想一直是積極的、有建設性的、有益的和明確的。為了你自己，也為了其他每一個人。用你的力量作一次有意識的選擇——聰明地運用。為了你自己，也為了地球上的每一個人，預見和體現深度和平、智慧和理解，完美的健康、無盡的活力，不可動搖的快樂、財富、繁榮和豐富。
感受快樂。
樂觀地思考，此時的行星正在有意識地發生轉變。看著它發生，感受它發生，感受它的快樂。你的內心知道，我們是有意識的選擇者，現在正一起轉變我們的地球、我們的家園，使之成為我們在內心中所看到的極其優美的天堂。看著它，感受它，相信它……它會得到證明。
現在我們在一起，唱著，跳著，在力量的大道上！
就是這樣。
