Lost Society
Lost Society is about a very serious problem facing our world. As a people, we are losing touch with the most basic civil responsibilities. Love, courtesy, helping others, responsibility, spirituality, the list just goes on and on. I know that living in this world at this time comes with it's challenges. With all the social media and 24 hour news cycle, it can be easy to get caught up in all the hype. We work to hard and most of us limit our family time because of this. It seems we have less time to interact with friends so we talk to them on social media. All of this non contact is hurting us as a society. At times it seems that if it is not on social media then it is not real. I believe this desensitize us to the real world and it short comings.
How can we have compassion for each other or feel that all of our planet is connected when we are not actively participating in society.
Is traffic that bad that all your weaving and speed could actually kill someone. How important is it. The media and us constantly criticize sport stars, movie stars politicians almost anyone. Why can we not just let people be. Know one is perfect and everyone has the right to make mistakes with out being criticized. I do not know if it is totally safety reasons but every year I see less and less children playing outside. We seem to be so wrapped up in what everyone else is doing we forget that what we believe, cause and effect will appear in our life's.
“When your feet hit the floor every single morning, without exception, say, “Thank You for an opportunity to live in a state of contentment.” Invite the magical energy of the Tao to freely flow through you and inform your responses throughout the day. You’re in harmony with your Source when you’re soliciting gratitude and gratification in these ways.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao
How do we help our Lost society?
What is the answer?
Ernest Holmes founder of Science of Mind, which I am a minister says this:" Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it."
Most of the world religions, also all spiritual teachers talk about Love and Forgiveness.
This is not always as easy as it should be. We have to find a way to stay connected. Spiritual study groups or church, family picnics,walks in the park, maybe say hi to everyone we see. Have a smile and kind word to all who come into our presence. I know we all do not live like Gandhi, but this should not stop us from trying to be compassionate or loving or more understanding in stressful situations.
There is this wonderful book called Johnathan Livingston Seagull and “Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull’s life is so short, and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed.” (Richard Bach, 2006, 26).

As the author of this site I work hard at giving advice or talking about topics that I am familiar with and practice. I am not Gandhi, although I do practice what I teach. This being said I realize that we are not going to be loving at all times. I am not sure that this is possible while we are in this body. I do try everyday. I would love to feel peace, unbridled happiness and clear vision of love towards all. I work everyday at this and believe that one day we all can feel this.
Please keeping working at your spirituality and walk with your God every where you go.
“”As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,” not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”
“A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts.”
“Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.”
“MAN’S mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.”
“Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself.”
“Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself”
“Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
“Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.”
“A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.”
“Clean thoughts make clean habits. The so-called saint who does not wash his body is not a saint. He who has strengthened and purified his thoughts does not need to consider the malevolent microbe.”
“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.”
“He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.”
“And you, too, youthful reader, will realize the Vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love.”
