#1 - They Deeply
Understand the Unity of All Life and Live Congruently
Highly evolved beings know the Oneness of all - they know we are
all parts of a singular, yet multi-threaded, consciousness that
is All That Is.
They know that any
apparent separation is an illusion because everything is part of
one thing and it is all interconnected and interdependent.
They know that any
action they take that effects another being or thing ultimately
effects everything else.
This is the single most important realization any being can have
and in civilizations created by beings with this understanding
it is the foundation of their way of life.
They deeply know that
what they do to another they are ultimately doing to themselves
- and hence they treat everyone and everything with great care
and respect.
#2 - They
Always Tell The Truth
Highly evolved beings always tell the truth. They are essentially
incapable of lying.
They have deeply learned that deceiving
themselves or others is counterproductive to achieving their
highest intentions and desires, so they have absolutely no
interest in lying.
But even if they did,
any attempt to do so would be easily detected by all those
listening.
At the level of consciousness of highly evolved beings, their
ability to sense energy and vibration is greatly enhanced
(everything is energy; matter, light, thoughts, emotion, etc)
and so any attempt to communicate something that is untrue would
be readily apparent to all listening.
At this level, a
being cannot communicate something that is untrue and not
radically alter the energy they are emitting.
In stark contrast, denial and deception run rampant in Humanity
- we frequently lie to ourselves as well as others, and we are
easily deceived.
Only by transcending
separation consciousness, only when we realize that we are all
expressions of the same one consciousness, the same one being,
and by embracing the unity and equality of all beingness will we
eliminate the need to deceive and avoid all the associated
undesirable consequences.
As an example of how we lie to ourselves, consider the violence
that is portrayed in our entertainment and its connection to the
increasing violence in our society.
The portrayal of
violence runs rampant in our movies and TV programs, in our
video games, and even in our children's toys.
You'd have a hard
time convincing a highly evolved being that the constant stream
of violent images we bombard our children with has no effects on
their beliefs, attitudes, and behavior.
Humanity, on the other hand, can't seem to admit that the
increasing violence in our society arises, at least in part,
from the continual onslaught of such images.
Because if we did,
we'd have to do something about it, and we feel powerless, so we
just ignore it.
This pattern of seeing self-damaging behaviors and then doing
nothing about them is a classic sign of immature beings. Highly
evolved beings never hide from the truth, and they always speak
the truth.
And of course, when
they speak the truth they also take congruent and appropriate
action which is the subject of the next two points.
#3 - They
Always Do What They Say
Highly evolved beings have a habit of speaking their truth, and
they also have a habit of following through with what they say
they will do, whether it is said to others or themselves.
Their actions are
always consistent with their words, they don't say one thing and
do another.
Humans on the other hand, often say one thing and do another -
and then ignore, deny, or lie about it!
Obvious examples abound...
For highly evolved beings, sticking to their word is a matter of
honor and integrity. If they don't think they'll be likely, or
able, to do something they don't say it.
If on the other hand,
they meant what they said, but later they find they can't keep
their word because of unexpected circumstances, they will face
it squarely and go talk to everyone involved to clear it up.
They will humbly and
truthfully explain why they won't be able to do what you said.
#4 - They
Always Do What Works
When highly evolved beings see a less than desirable situation
and have understood why it exists, they always respond with
something that works.
They do not ignore
it, deny that it exists, cover it up, do something that doesn't
address the true problem, or in some other way fail to take
appropriate action - as is often the case with Humanity.
Examples abound, here are a few of them:
If our goal is to live a life of peace, joy, and love (which I
sincerely hope it is), then violence does not work. This is
immensely obvious if you take but a moment to contemplate
history - isn't it clear that retribution begets retribution,
hate begets hate, violence begets violence.
And yet we repeat the
pattern over and over.
If our goal is to live long and healthy lives, then consuming
meat daily, smoking known carcinogens continuously, and drinking
alcohol regularly does not work.
This has been amply
proven, yet many of us continue to do these things.
If our goal is a society free of violence and war, then the
modeling of violent behaviors and attitudes to your children,
via our entertainment and toys, which has clearly been proven to
facilitate the adoption of those violent tendencies, does not
work and would be stopped immediately.
Yet, we do nothing.
#5 - They
Never Kill Each Other
Highly evolved beings never, under any circumstances, kill
another incarnate being unless specifically asked by the other
to do so.
Within Humanity,
murder and mass murder (war, etc) occur appallingly frequently.
We justify much of this behavior as "self-defense."
It's interesting to note that in primitive societies all attack
is called "defense."
And of course, we certainly have the
"right" to defend ourselves and do so in any way we see fit -
after all, we are free and sovereign beings, so we "have the
right" to do anything we please.
Yet, a highly evolved
being would not kill another even in situations we would clearly
consider self-defense.
This is because they understand that every act is an act of
self-definition, every act defines who you are.
You are creating
yourself in each and every moment by what you choose to do, so
it boils down to deciding who and what you want to be.
Do we
want to define ourselves as ones who are willing to do anything
to survive, and create a dog-eat-dog kind of world in the
process?
Ultimately, highly evolved civilizations transcend the need to
kill others because they no longer create situations where they
would find themselves needing to kill.
And that's because
they have awakened to their Oneness, and every aspect of their
attitudes and behaviors have changed dramatically.
When Humanity fully awakens then all the conflict and
competition will end - no more killing, no more dog-eat-dog
world. Instead, we will find ways to share everything and
cooperate on a grand scale.
And this new found
level of cooperation and sharing will create an unprecedented
level of prosperity and happiness for all, and no one will ever
have any reason to attack or defend (physically, emotionally,
financially, etc) for any reason ever again.
In the rare case that an unenlightened person chose to mortally
attack you, you would simply allow yourself to be killed knowing
that "death" is an illusion and peacefully exit physicality and
return to your eternal non-physical self and existence.
You would not choose
to perpetuate more violence just for the survival of your
physical body - which is not you; it's just a temporary vehicle.
When you know that
the real you can't die it changes everything!
Know then
that the body is merely a
garment.
Go seek the wearer,
not the cloak.
Rumi
But what if we were attacked by another civilization you might
ask? Don't we have to
worry about another civilization coming to Earth one day and
destroying us?
This question is addressed in
Conversations with
God Book 4 and I will defer to it on this topic.
All I'll say about this is that our fear of this scenario is
being encouraged by a whole slew of alien invasion movies and
the like.
Given the benevolent
extra-terrestrial presence that is here (i.e. highly evolved
civilizations) trying to gently facilitate the awakening and
evolution of Humanity, it makes you wonder if some or all the
"alien fear porn" is the work of some agency with a nefarious
agenda?
If you'd like to
explore this topic further, then I suggest you check out the
work of Dr.
Steven Greer.
He is the world's
leading expert and trust source on the
extra-terrestrial presence, and who, why, and how it is being
hidden from us.
#6 - They
Never Damage Their Environment
Highly evolved beings would never do anything that could
potentially damage or harm the physical environment that
supports their society.
They deeply
understand and appreciate the interconnection and
interdependency of all life, and they deeply appreciate the
environment that sustains them.
They know that to
continue to have their environment to provide for their needs,
and for the needs of all generations to come, then they must
live sustainably - they must live in a way that is gentle,
careful, and thoughtful to their natural environment and planet
and wisely husband her resources.
Humanity, on the other hand, continues to demonstrate a callous
disregard for their environment using and abusing it, and
poisoning it (and ourselves in the process)!
#7 - They
Share Everything With Everyone, There is No Ownership
In highly evolved civilizations there is no such thing as
"ownership."
This is because they
understand that since they are all One, everything that exists
belongs to everyone that exists. And hence, they share
everything with everyone all the time.
A far cry from Humanity, which generally only shares with others
in very limited circumstances.
We have an economic
system and mindset that encourages us to accumulate as much
stuff that we can call our own as we can, and that encourages a
relative few to horde the majority of the resources and wealth
of the planet.
To most of us,
sharing everything probably seems completely impractical and
unworkable. It's very hard for us to imagine how sharing
everything could work - but believe it or not, it works very
well.
In highly evolved civilizations the idea of "ownership" is
replaced by the concept of "stewardship."
Beings in those
civilizations mutually agree on who will have stewardship
responsibility for what, who will partner with whom, and who
will perform what functions.
The person or persons
that care for and manage a given thing or resource (e.g; the
stewards) do not "take" it as their own - they are simply
responsible for managing it. It could be said that the resource
is "owned" by the community and the steward of the resource is
taking care of it on behalf of the community.
But of course,
enlightened communities understand all resources are essentially
gifts from the Universe that are to be managed responsibly, and
used fairly, for all those using it now, and in the future.
Those who accept stewardship of anything, be it land or
something else, do not imagine that they "own" it. They
understand that they are merely caring for and managing it for
the benefit of the community.
For instance, no one
imagines, that just because they are stewards of a particular
plot of land on the planet on which they incarnated, that they
"own" the minerals, water, and whatever else is under that plot
of land - all the way down to the center of the Earth.
Nor does anyone
imagine that they "own" the air, or the sky, above a particular
plot of land - as high as the sky goes. Such ideas are
absolutely ludicrous to highly evolved beings and any debates
about who owns the "rights" to whatever seems utterly pointless
to beings who understand that they are all One.
A big stumbling block to embracing the idea of "no ownership" is
our difficulty in imagining how we would earn a living without
the profit motive that seems so strongly linked to ownership.
But unlike Humanity,
highly evolved civilizations do not view living as something you
have to "earn."
Systems can easily be
devised that allows a society to fulfill individual and group
needs without the members of that society having to sell their
soul and abandon their dreams to survive.
Many civilizations
have created such systems and have demonstrated that they work
very well - producing a high degree of freedom, prosperity, and
happiness for all.
Highly evolved beings also have a different way of looking at
"profit." They do not consider it "profitable" if one individual
benefits at the expense of another. They do not consider it
honorable or acceptable if they get more and another gets less.
In highly evolved
civilizations, no one benefits unless everyone benefits. It
might be said that they would measure profitability by how well
a stewarded resource is managed and how well it provides
benefits to the members of the community.
And hence, they would
likely describe the degree of success of any venture by using
the term "beneficial," rather than the term "profitable."
If you still think a society sharing everything is unworkable
consider that Humanity makes sharing work all the time on a
small scale - with our loved ones and families.
In this context, we
generally care for others no matter what, regardless of what
they've done.
-
What if we
could extend our sense of family beyond blood relatives?
-
What if we
could start by caring about everyone in our community
with that same type of bond and the same sense of
connection that we have for our family members?
-
And then,
what if we could extend it to everyone in our country,
and then our world?
This is the
difference between highly evolved civilizations and Humanity -
they feel that same connection, the same amount of compassion,
care, and love for everyone in their society.
C'mon people
now smile on your brother,
everybody get together
and try and love another
right now.
The
Youngbloods
Get Together
When you begin to stop seeing others as outsiders, when you
begin to transcend "us" versus "them," you are on the verge of a
breakthrough in the evolution of your consciousness.
When you can treat
every single person with kindness and respect no matter what
they have done, then you will have transcended separation and
will have powerfully aligned with the unconditional love of the
Source within you.
One of the root impediments to adopting a sharing economy is the
belief that there is not enough for everyone, which leads to
people wanting to make sure they get theirs, so someone else
doesn't get it instead - possessiveness, greed, hoarding, etc.
The belief in
scarcity is one of the key beliefs that is responsible for
creating the type of world we live in (e.g; one characterized by
conflict and competition).
The apparent scarcity of many things on our world is largely due
to unfair or inefficient distribution, not any inherent
scarcity.
As a shameful
example, there is actually enough food produced on this world
for everyone yet many continue to starve. And of course, much of
the apparent scarcity on our world is intentionally manufactured
by commercial interests to maximize profits or by distribution
strategies based on profit only mentalities which leaves many
without even though there is plenty.
And imagine if all of
the energy and resources invested in the worlds war machines was
applied to everyone's welfare - we could easily solve most if
not all of the worlds inequities!
Because highly evolved civilizations work cooperatively, share
everything, tell and face the truth, and do what works, they
rarely experience scarcity.
But even more deeply,
highly evolved beings have transcended scarcity altogether
because they understand metaphysics and know that they are
creating their reality with their thoughts and beliefs and so
ultimately scarcity is an illusion which is self-created.
#8 - They
Work Together Cooperatively, There is No Competition
Highly evolved beings never compete with one another.
They deeply know the
Oneness of all and that what they do to another they ultimately
do to themselves, so they work together for the greater good of
all. They cannot bring themselves to gain at the expense of
another and so competition all but disappears in their
civilizations.
When enlightened
beings see the truth, they do what works and the strategy that
works the best, in the long run, is cooperation and sharing.
Humanity has a long way to go in this regard. Competition, at
every level, runs rampant.
We have convinced
ourselves that competition is healthy - that it motivates and
produces more efficient outcomes. And in the short term it often
does, but in the long run, it creates great inequities.
We have fallen into
endless and often ruthless competitions for everything - money,
power, fame, love, attention, sex, everything - and it is
killing us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the enlightened 32nd
president of the United States, echoes this sentiment when he
said this about competition and cooperation:
Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point
and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must
strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.
#9 - They
Do Not Embrace the Principles of Justice and Punishment
Highly evolved societies do not embrace the principles that we
refer to as "justice" and "punishment."
Enlightened beings
understand that any being that acts to harm another is deeply
wounded, deeply in pain and that their acts are simply a cry for
help, a cry for love.
Hence, they do not
attempt to bring those that have done harm to justice or punish
them.
They have found that,
in the long run, this approach is rarely effective. Instead,
they reach out with compassion and love to help heal them.
They try to help heal these people in whatever way seems
appropriate and effective. And they understand that judging and
punishing is rarely either - because it does not heal a person's
core wounds and therefore alter their way of being or behavior.
They know that doing
so will likely only deepen and sustain the wounds and the
problem. They know that only love can heal all wounds and
transform people.
But,
-
How can a society function without laws and a judicial
process, and the threat of punishment and incarceration that is
the cornerstone of this system?
-
How can beings co-exist without
some sort of "code-of-conduct" and associated disciplinary
system?
The code of conduct
of highly evolved beings is elegantly simple:
Do not think, say, or do anything to another that you would not
want to have thought, said, or done to you.
Sound familiar?
Every religion on our planet teaches some
version of what we've called "The Golden Rule." The difference
between human societies and highly evolved civilizations is that
they actually apply The Golden Rule in their lives, rather than
just giving it lip service.
But what happens in these civilizations if someone breaks The
Golden Rule? Is it considered a "crime?"
Believe it or not,
there is no such thing as "crime and punishment" in highly
evolved civilizations.
No one commits a
"crime," because everyone understands that they are All One, and
that an offense against, or harm to, another is an offense
against their self.
And since their are no crimes, there is no need of what we might
call "justice."
The concept of
"justice" is interpreted and expressed in a different way, not
as "punishment" but as "appropriate action," and in most cases,
the appropriate action is far different than what would occur in
our society.
A typical example is,
rather than punishment and incarceration the action that would
be taken would be:
education, support, and rehabilitation.
Justice is not something you experience after you act a certain
way, but because you act a certain way. Justice is an act, not
punishment for an act.
An enlightened civilization understands
this.
The problem with our
society is that we seek "justice" after an "injustice" has
occurred, rather than "doing justice" in the first place,
through the choices and actions that we make - justice is an
action, not a reaction.
When everyone in our
society acts justly (e.g.; follows The Golden Rule), we will not
need judicial and incarceration systems.
#10 - They Do Not
Believe In or Experience Lack
Highly evolved beings know that "lack" is a self-created
experience and they have transcended it.
They understand
metaphysics deeply and know that they are eternal beings - that
their ultimate essence is pure consciousness, non-physical and
formless, and hence they do not fear death and are not concerned
about their survival.
When survival isn't the issue, the idea of lack begins to
dissolve.
Fear of not having
enough is further dissolved by their knowing that they are
creators - that what they experience (their reality) is created
by their thoughts, beliefs, intentions, and desires and hence
what they can experience is limited only to what they can
imagine - and they have gotten very good at imagining only an
abundance of health, happiness, and prosperity.
At this level of
consciousness, sometimes referred to as Creator Consciousness
(versus Victim Consciousness), abundance is guaranteed.
At the level of existence of highly evolved civilizations they
are no longer concerned with whether they will survive, or have
enough, but in what manner they will live life to its fullest
and create wonderful experiences for all.
Humanity is far from this level of consciousness and existence.
Fear of not having
enough, and survival runs deep, and it is one of the core
reasons why there is so much competition, conflict, inequities,
and suffering in our world.
But most of the perceived shortages on our planet are illusory.
A good example is the supply of food.
On our world, over 650 of
our children die of starvation every hour - which seems to
indicate there is a shortage of food. Yet we scrape enough
food off our plates in restaurants to feed whole countries; no
child needs to starve to death.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture estimates food waste in the United States alone
to be about 30 to 40 percent of the food supply - an estimated
133 billion pounds of food wasted.
This is a situation that would never, ever occur in highly
evolved civilizations. They would simply make it a priority to
figure out how to solve the issue, which is more one of
distribution than it is of lack of supply.
They would figure out
how to "share" the food more effectively.
