Interpretation: The time has come to create a critical mass of enlightened people on planet earth. only by creating more and more people who are awakened, who are enlightened ,can the collective influence of individual negativity be destroyed. All calamities around the world are created by unconscious human beings. Unless we create a peaceful, blissful, joyful and enlightened society, we will not be able to preserve this beautiful planet earth. Actually, a majority of us are caught up in fighting with our own selves .We are caught in a web of self contradictory thoughts and desires. Our thoughts and words are so powerful, but we use them so casually .

Our self- contradictory thoughts are the root cause of all our suffering. All our suffering arises from our ignorance of the truth that we are, by nature bliss. When we infuse healing thoughts into our system, we give power to positive words and thoughts. They get embedded in our very muscle memory. The effect of the peace radiated by a person who is fully satisfied & blissful within himself is similar to the waves that happen in a lake when you throw a stone into it. Everything in the lake is touched by the effect of the stone. The waves of bliss radiating from a peaceful

We are not individual islands .our thoughts, our emotions & our feelings not only affect us but they affect the rest of the world also . We are all waves in the ocean of existence . Existence itself is pure ,intelligent energy. This loving existence desires that each of us succeeds and experiences fulfillment in life. When we realize this, we can simply let go of our fears, desires, jealousies, pains & depressions & relax into the loving arms of existence . Instead of looking at each other as enemies, if you start looking in, you will realize that the enemy within is causing all the trouble . We think negatively because we are unaware. our thoughts affect the people around us and also the whole world .Harsh words, angry feelings, suppressed emotions, and suffering all directly contribute to the creation of unrest in the world. Individual stress, hatred and violence cause an increase in the collective stress , hatred and violence in the society .

This leads to decrease in human awareness resulting in more acts to violence against nature.

Goals: To make the children understand how to get rid of suffering in the world

Click: Give the intelligence to others to make better choices.

About the topic: There are two ways to handle anything. One is just talking about things and the other is actually doing things. It you are interested in just talking about things, then you will blame everybody around you, starting from your neighbor to the politicians, business & world leaders. Blaming & criticizing everybody is not going to be directly useful. Not only that, it will really pull down your own energy .This is one common, but ineffective way of working. The second way is this - if you really don't like the situation, you will be sincere and do something to change it. You will work towards creating more collective positive energy, first within yourself , and then in the world. Instead of getting upset or disturbed by negative decisions, just create positive energy so that people around you and around the world are also affected by this positive consciousness.

Revolution is not the way .Evolution is the way. Much of what is happening around us is the result of all our past actions .At least in this present moment ,let us create more and more positive consciousness and energy so that we will avoid the same challenges and calamities in the future.

LESSON: 4

Introduction: Revise the day before day topic & introduce the fact of increasing collective positivity.

Goals: To make the children understand the need of increasing collective positivity.

Click: An enlightened being effortlessly radiates positivism.

About The Topic: Getting agitated is not going to be productive in any way .It is agitated people who create wars. We should become productive people, not agitated people. we should do as much as we can towards peace , silence & bliss, We should show compassion to help the person .But the important thing is we shouldn't start suffering ourselves. An enlightened being effortlessly radiates his all -encompassing inner space, which creates a collective positivism. It you decrease the temperature of a system the chaos & agitation in that physical system is reduced. For example if you reduce the temperature liquid water becomes solid ice. Also the impurities in the system are removed. When the collective consciousness of society is transformed, the chaos reduces & the system begins to clean itself.
