Where applicable, ensure relevant experts are a part of the round tables; however, ensure that everyone has a chance to participate and contribute.
If you gather together in round tables as equals, with the intention to benefit others, you draw the light. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Spirituality Is Purchased
Spirituality is purchased. You buy it with yourself. You have to give up your selfish tendencies for bestowal. The more selfish you are, the less you're in bestowal; and the less selfish you are, the more you're in bestowal.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

God Is A Benevolent Being
God is a benevolent being, who seeks to benefit others instead of Himself.
If you seek to benefit others instead of yourself:
1. You become similar to God in quality, and
2. You do God's work here on Earth.
Some people do good deeds in action, but secretly want others to see them as righteous. In action and in intention, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

A Message - To World Leaders
"Every leader is responsible for the people under his/her jurisdiction. It is the leaders responsibility to ensure that the basic needs of ever man, woman and child have been met - food, water, clothing and shelter.
If anybody goes without, meaning that their basic needs are not met, the leaders will be held accountable before God.
Leaders have to do whatever it takes to ensure their people are provided for: using diplomacy, relationships with more affluent nations, asking for help and assistance, removing barriers and obstacles that prevent assistance from reaching those in need. Stop making excuses and just get it done.
Leaders should establish round tables to discuss the issues, challenges and solutions. All discussions should be broadcast live on television or streamed live on the internet, giving everyone a change to comment and contribute their point of view.
Leaders must understand that their actions, or lack thereof, are transparent before God. God witnesses everything you do and everything you don't do.
As leaders in charge of others, you have an obligation, responsibility and expectation to look after those you lead, by ensuring their basic needs have been provided for.
We have now been given new standards. The old standards of self-indulgence, self-concern and self-worth have been wiped out.
The new standard is this: love your friend as yourself. Seek to benefit others instead of yourself. All people are now expected to live by this new standard.
Leaders especially, are expected to live and work by this new standard, to seek to benefit the people they lead, by making decisions and allocating budgets that are in the best interest of the people, so not a single person goes without.
We are charged to look after one another, and we have to begin to live this law, in practice.
The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is with us and to Him we shall all return."

Contribute Positively To This World
Your contribution to this world doesn't have to be big, glamorous or newsworthy. It could be something as simple as being kind, compassionate, caring, considerate etc.
While your positive actions may be limited to one person or to a small group of people, you'll never know how your constructive attitude may influence the entire world.
With the butterfly effect - a theory of interconnectedness - the example is that a butterfly that flaps it's wings in South America may result in a hurricane elsewhere.
By extension, your small positive actions in your part of the world may have profound positive changes in other parts of the world.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Do Not Have Regrets
Don't be disappointed with your life. Don't have regrets or eat yourself up over things that could have, would have or should have been. Don't imagine how things could have turned out differently. Accept your life. Remember, there is none else besides Him.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

The Truth Unites
The quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit oneself) is a destructive force because when we're immersed in selfishness (selfishness is called a lie), we see our differences as an opportunity to hate, to be divided and to be separated.
The quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others) is a constructive force because when we're immersed in bestowal (bestowal is called The Truth), we look past our differences, we appreciate our differences, we respect each other, we connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration and we unite as one family.

If Money Disappeared ...
What would we do if all the money in the world disappeared? Would we deteriorate into anarchy? Lawlessness? Chaos? Mayhem? Absolutely not.
We don't need money because we have each other. We'd connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration. I'd take care of you and you'd take care of me.
Right now we don't need each other because we have money. Money has replaced our good connections with each other. Plus we're immersed in selfishness and everyone's seeking to benefit themselves.
Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We have to re-establish our good connections with each other.
In this way, even if money disappeared, we'd be fine because we'd have each other and that's all we need.

The Power Of Love
What is love?
Copyright © 2013, Carter Kagume. All Rights Reserved.
- Self Love:
- If you're immersed in self-love, selfishness, thinking only of yourself, being self-centered and self-absorbed, egotistical, seeking to benefit yourself with no regard for others, then this isn't true love because when you love yourself, you hate others.
- Self love is a destructive force that harms you, others and all of nature.
- Love Of Others:
- If you're immersed in love of others, bestowal, altruism, thinking only of others, seeking to benefit others instead of yourself, then this is true love because when you love others, you connect with them in mutual concern and responsibility.
- Love of others is a constructive force that benefits you, others and all of nature.

Day And Night Unite
This video is really cute, it shows how day and night used to fight because of their differences, but they soon came to appreciate their differences and they reached unity and harmony.
If day and night can unite, surely we can all unite and become one family. We may have our differences, and some of us may be as different as night and day; however, if we rise above our egos and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, we'll connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility.
It is written, "Do you not see that Allah causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night ..." (Quran 31:29, Sahih)

We're Perfect Just As We Are
There's no such thing as a perfect human being. We're all flawed. Which is great, because that's one thing we all have in common, our flaws. We're united in our common flaws.
We tend to run away from our flaws, our failures, our insecurities, our bad behaviour, our negative traits, and we put on a veneer of perfection for others to see.
We want others to think we're perfect, when in fact we're not. Instead of spending our time, energy and effort pretending to be perfect, why not free ourselves from our pretences and lies and accept each other for who we really are?
That's one way to think of it, but there's more to the story ....
We tend to run away from our lives for four reasons:
When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, we'll become free - free from fear, free from the burden of our past, free from not liking ourselves and free from feeling empty and unfulfilled. We'll see that we're perfect, just as we are.
Not to say that we should engage in - or continue to engage in - destructive behaviour that harms us, others and all of nature. Not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

That's one way to think of it, but there's more to the story ....
We tend to run away from our lives for four reasons:
- Things That Have Happened To Us:
- We've all had bad things happen to us, and they can be very painful. Remember, this is based on our current perception of reality. When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, bad things disappear, bad things become good things.
- Today, we tend to run away from the bad things that have happened to us because they cause us much pain. Soon we'll stop running from them and we'll come to justify them because we'll see that they actually mean something positive.
- Things That We've Done:
- We've all done bad things that we regret, things that we're ashamed of, things that embarrass us, things that we don't want others to find out about us because they'll judge us, they'll think less of us, they'll think we're monsters, they'll think we're bad etc. This is all based on our current perception of reality. When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, all our bad behaviour disappears, we'll see that we're perfect, just as we are.
- Who we Are:
- Sometimes we're ashamed of who we are and we try to distance ourselves from our backgrounds, our families, our upbringing, our history, our culture, our heritage, our race, our social status, our religion, our nature etc. We try to be someone else. When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, we'll stop running from who we are because we'll see that we're perfect, just as we are.
- The Emptiness We Feel Inside:
- We all have a deep emptiness and loneliness inside that can't be filled. It's a terrible feeling and the more we try to fill it, the more empty we become. Our lives lack purpose and meaning and we're afraid of not existing, of not being fulfilled. As such, we run away from our emptiness by keeping ourselves busy, distracted, occupied, intoxicated etc. When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, we'll see the truth, that everything has purpose and meaning. Plus, we'll be filled with spiritual pleasure that will fulfill us completely. Our emptiness will disappear and we'll stop running from ourselves.
When we go through a change in the perception of our reality, we'll become free - free from fear, free from the burden of our past, free from not liking ourselves and free from feeling empty and unfulfilled. We'll see that we're perfect, just as we are.
Not to say that we should engage in - or continue to engage in - destructive behaviour that harms us, others and all of nature. Not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Religion Is Rooted In Mysticism
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different religious organizations, each one interpreting scripture to justify their beliefs, to justify their practices and to suit their own individual purposes.
The very fact that there are hundreds of different religious organizations, each one with it's own version of the truth, is testament itself to the absence of Truth.
The Truth is rooted in unity and solidarity, not in division, separation and conflict. The Truth unites, it doesn't separate, divide, split up, break up or tear apart.
Jesus said, "24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." (Mark 3:24-25, NIV)
We have to unite and connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility, we have to become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.
We have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. In this way, we'll attain The Truth. We'll become The Truth. We'll become united as one family, in perfect solidarity.
That is The Truth.

Understanding Death
Let's examine a few things about death: the angel of death, a bad death versus a good death, the resurrection of the dead and the death of death.
The Angel Of Death
The angel of death is a force that kills. It kills indiscriminately; however, what it kills makes all the difference:
For example, a 20 year old - cancels (kills) his previous 10 year old self (state). His 10 year old self no longer exists, it's replaced by his 20 year old state.
A Bad Death Versus A Good Death
The two types of death - the death of bestowal and the death of selfishness - are both mentioned in The Bible and The Quran.
The Bible and The Quran also mention the various states we go through as we become increasing separated or similar to God in quality.
One has to understand the context in order to understand which death is being reference.
The Resurrection Of The Dead
The Bible and The Quran also talk about the resurrection of the dead. The quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit oneself) is considered dead, and the quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others) is considered alive.
When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, the dead shall live, the dead shall be resurrected to life. As it is written:
The Death Of Death (The Death of Selfishness)
When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, the quality of selfishness shall cease to exist, it will be completely cut off, wiped out and we'll attain 100% bestowal. As it is written"
Do not be afraid, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is with us and to Him we shall all return.

The Angel Of Death
The angel of death is a force that kills. It kills indiscriminately; however, what it kills makes all the difference:
- If the angel of death kills our internal quality of bestowal, then it's a bad thing because it means we're becoming immersed in selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) and we're becoming separated from God in quality. This is where we are today, immersed in selfishness and separated from God.
- If the angel of death kills our internal quality of selfishness, then it's a good thing because it means we're attaining the quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others) and we're returning to God in quality. Today, we have to attain bestowal and we have to return to God in quality.
For example, a 20 year old - cancels (kills) his previous 10 year old self (state). His 10 year old self no longer exists, it's replaced by his 20 year old state.
A Bad Death Versus A Good Death
The two types of death - the death of bestowal and the death of selfishness - are both mentioned in The Bible and The Quran.
The Bible and The Quran also mention the various states we go through as we become increasing separated or similar to God in quality.
One has to understand the context in order to understand which death is being reference.
- The Death of Bestowal - A Bad Death:
- The death of bestowal is considered a bad death because when our internal quality of bestowal dies, we become immersed in selfishness and we become separated from God in quality.
- Here are examples from The Bible and The Quran:
- God said, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (Genesis 2:16-17, NKJV)
- "For in death there is no remembrance of You ..." (Psalms 6:5, NKJV)
- "Adrift among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from Your hand." (Psalms 88:5, NKJV)
- "Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - upon them will be the curse of Allah ..." (Quran 2:161, Sahih)
- The Death of Selfishness - A Good Death:
- The death of selfishness is considered a good death because when our internal quality of selfishness dies, we attain the quality of bestowal and we return to God in quality.
- Here are examples from The Bible and The Quran:
- "Every soul will taste death." (Quran 21:35, Sahih)
- Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." (John 11:25, NKJV)
- "And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not." (Quran 2:154, Sahih)
- "... kill the polytheists (meaning the quality of selfishness) wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent (meaning return to bestowal), establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way." (Quran 9:5, Sahih)
The Resurrection Of The Dead
The Bible and The Quran also talk about the resurrection of the dead. The quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit oneself) is considered dead, and the quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others) is considered alive.
When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, the dead shall live, the dead shall be resurrected to life. As it is written:
- "Your dead shall live ..." (Isaiah 26:19, NKJV)
- "But the dead - Allah will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned." (Quran 6:36, Sahih)
The Death Of Death (The Death of Selfishness)
When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, the quality of selfishness shall cease to exist, it will be completely cut off, wiped out and we'll attain 100% bestowal. As it is written"
- "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Revelations 21:4, NKJV)
- "...in the generation following let their name be blotted out ... That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth ..." (Psalms 109:13,15, NKJV)
- " ... and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more." (Psalms 37:10, NKJV)
Do not be afraid, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is with us and to Him we shall all return.

We Are All Interconnected And Interdependent
One of the ways that we're interconnected and interdependent is that we tell each other's story. For example:
If you know that your life isn't just about you, that it's about others, that your life tells the story of others, that the things that you go through are for others, does that change the way you view your life? Does it make it easier? Does it make you a hero?
We're all interconnected and interdependent, and it's incredible to think of the things we go through for each other.
Copyright © 2013, Carter Kagume. All Rights Reserved.
- The journey of my life:
- Tells the story of my internal qualities,
- It tells the story of your internal qualities,
- And it contributes to a larger arc story of man's relationship with God.
- The journey of your life:
- Tells the story of your internal qualities,
- It tells the story of my internal qualities,
- And it contributes to the larger arc story of man's relationship with God.
If you know that your life isn't just about you, that it's about others, that your life tells the story of others, that the things that you go through are for others, does that change the way you view your life? Does it make it easier? Does it make you a hero?

Understanding Time
When the past, present and future and interconnected as one, what tense should I use?
For example, when Jesus said (past tense) that we should love one another [1] (present tense) He means (present tense) that we will unite (future tense) as one family.
That our internal qualities will change (future tense) from selfishness to bestowal and we will connect (future tense) with each other in mutual concern and responsibility.
From a spiritual point of view, time is connected to our internal qualities:
In addition, events that happened in the past, are happing now and will happen in the future. A sort of fractal of events in time.
As it is written, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8, NIV)

- The Present - represents desires that are currently being converted from selfishness to bestowal.

In addition, events that happened in the past, are happing now and will happen in the future. A sort of fractal of events in time.

We're Each Other's Angels
The entire world is arranged in such a way to bring us to the right work. There's you, the world and The Creator.
Everyone is an angel. Even animals are angels.
Each one of us acts towards others as angels, to bring others to bestowal. I'm an angel towards you and you're an angel towards me.
I act in such a way towards you, to bring you to bestowal. You act in such a way towards me, to bring me to bestowal. As such, we're each other's angels.

The Destructive Nature Of Selfishness
Today we're immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. As a result, we harm ourselves, others and all of nature.
The quality of selfishness has two dark components:
Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. First we have to stop harming others, then we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
We have to become each other's keepers - we have to rise above our egos, connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility and care for each other as family.

The quality of selfishness has two dark components:
- The First Is - Seeking To Benefit Ourselves:
- We're self-centered and egotistical, thinking only about ourselves, caring only about ourselves and seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others.
- We're only interested in our own personal profit and gain, doing whatever it takes to succeed, even if it's at other people's expense.
- We don't want to share with others, we want everything for ourselves.
- We don't care about anybody else except ourselves.
- The Second Is - Seeking To Harm Others:
- We don't want other people to succeed and do well, we get pleasure when they fail, lose or suffer.
- It's no longer about what brings benefit to us, it's about brings harm to others - the more harm comes to others, the better we feel.
- Sometimes we intentionally sabotage other people's efforts, not because we have anything to gain, simply because we don't want them to succeed.
- There's a cruelty to this behaviour that doesn't even exist in animals.
Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. First we have to stop harming others, then we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Hatred And Love
Can we switch from love to hatred, then from hatred to love? Very easily, here's how:
Bev and Doug were a happy couple and they had been together for a long time.
One day, Stan told Bev that Doug didn't love her and he proved it. Bev was crushed and her love for Doug grew to hatred. Eventually they split up.
Stan then declared his love for Bev and they got together.
After a long while, Bev found out that the evidence Stan had used against Doug was all a lie. Bev was crushed and her love for Stan grew to hatred. Eventually they split up.
Doug had never stopped loving Bev. Bev then declared her love for Doug and they got back together again.
Kind of like one of those TV shows right? Or is there a little bit more to this story?

Even The Rich Get Divorced
You think money buys happiness? Think again because even the rich get divorced.
Hatred grows is all aspects of our society - the poor, the middle class and the rich. Regardless of our social status and wealth, our growing ego has left us all isolated, alone, unhappy and depressed.
When the rich get divorced, they reach a place of such hatred and loathing, they're willing to ruin everything just to get away from the other person.
They split up million and billions of dollars worth of assets and possessions simply to be rid of each other. Their hatred grows, it affects their behaviour and they ruin everything.
Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We have to connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility.
Money doesn't buy happiness. Happiness comes from our reciprocal mutual connection. In fact the more we connect, the more we'll unite as one.
When we're one, our connection can't be ruined because it'll be impossible to split us up. We'll be so interconnected and interdependent, you won't know where one begins and the other ends. We'll be united as one.

A Prisoner Can't Free Himself
Just as a prisoner can't free himself from prison, we can't free ourselves from the quality of selfishness. We need help - blows, the influence of our social environment and prayer.
Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
So what will it take to bring us out of selfishness? Three things - blows, the influence of our social environment and prayer:

So what will it take to bring us out of selfishness? Three things - blows, the influence of our social environment and prayer:
- Blows soften our stubborn selfishness and they humble us. Blows leave us open to new options that we may not have otherwise considered.
- Our social environment has a big influence on us. If our social environment is selfish, it influences us to be selfish. So if we change our social environment and create an altruistic one, it will influence us to be altruistic.
- Prayer: If we cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and ask Him to change our internal qualities from selfishness to bestowal, He will hear our cry and help us.

Attaining Godliness
If aliens from another planet came to Earth and observed our behaviour, what would they see?
We make houses, birds make houses. We store food, squirrels store food. We live in groups, animals live in groups. We behave like animals.
Yet, while animals take only what they need from nature, we take more than we need from nature. While animals generally kill for food, sometimes we kill for sport and entertainment.
While animals live in harmony and balance with nature, we're a disruptive force that harms ourselves, others and all of nature.
We think we're smart, but our behaviour says otherwise.
We have to change. Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. We have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
We have to connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility and we have to become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.
In this way we'll attain Godliness, a new level of connection and unity. Then we'll reach harmony and balance with each other, with all of nature and with God Himself.

Attainment Versus Philosophy
Other than the attainment of Godliness, a person doesn't need to engage in anything else. The goal is to attain the purpose of creation.
The Truth is that our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal, and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
Religion promises that if you do good works and deeds you will get your reward when you die. The Truth is that you will see your world in your lifetime, here and now.
Attainment and philosophy operate at different frequencies, as though one is at 1,000 Hertz and the other is at 200 Hertz. As such, they don't interact.
Seek to attain Godliness, want your internal qualities to change from selfishness to bestowal. Cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ask Him to change your internal qualities and He will.
Do not be afraid, God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
