Life as an Ocean Wave

Hello, and welcome to wwwhowcan-i-make-it-a-better-world?

In this blog I jot down my ideas as to what I can do to make it a better world for us, and for the future generations.

This is my Blog No.4.

You can read the earlier entires, right to the start in Oct. 09, by scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

I dearly want your suggestions as to how you would set about making this, our world, a nicer place to live in. Please do add your comments to this blog. Thank you.

Some Eastern philosophies compare our life with an ocean wave.

An ocean wave emerges from the body of the ocean. It has a definite shape and form. This shape is a result of and many forces, like, say, wind, deep ocean currents, pull of the moon, etc.,
It lasts for a certain time, and then subsides back into the ocean from where it emerged. A new wave arises again to repeat the cycle endlessly.

Drawing on this analogy, it is deduced that we too, though different shapes and sizes, have the same origins, and are made of the same funadmental energy that is the substance of the whole cosmos. I could call this substrate to all our existence Water, God, or Intelligence, or whatever that I wanted to.

Then it follows that each of us, too, have, though in a miniscule amount, the same stuff that
is the foundation of all cosmos. We all have the same origins, as brothers and sisters of the same parents. The whole world is one big family.

I imagine the practice of meditation when perfected, is aimed at us being able to recognise that Intelligence within us, within our mind. I also think that Prof. Murdo MacDonald-Bayne,
points to that same Intelligence in his book "The Higher Powers You Can Use."

The messages for me from these thoughts is clear. One is that Life is too short to cause harm and suffering to others. Second is that I should be able to use these higher powers to develop my potential to the full.

You may have other theories for the life on this planet. Please do allow me a glimpse of your theories. Please write them in the comment box of this blog.

Thank you for reading my ideas. sbp-one.
