Attributes

Your attributes don't change, your form doesn't change. What changes is how you use your attributes - either for yourself or for others.

If you use your attributes for yourself, then you're immersed in selfishness. However, if you use your attributes for others, then they automatically become good.

Love Will Fill Us

When all is quiet and all is still, and there's this emptiness inside, and you don't know what to do with it, know that love will fill it. Only love.

Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself, connecting us in mutual concern and responsibility, and connecting us to God Himself.

This new connection brings new fulfillment, and that's what will fill that emptiness we feel inside.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Life Or Money

Is your life more important to you than money, or is money more important to you than your life?

If your life is more important to you than money:

Then what are you doing chasing after the pleasures of this world, wearing yourself out in the process, killing yourself slowly for nothing? The material possessions your acquire in this realm, are temporary and fleeting.
Instead, you should be focused on your spiritual life, on being in adhesion with The Creator and seeking to benefit others instead of yourself.

If money is more important to you than your life:

Then you've got your priorities wrong. But I'll ask you these questions:

Is money more important to you than my life?
Is money more important to you than somebody else's life?

The Word IF

The word "if" is used quite often in The Bible and The Quran. It shows us the choices we have - if we return to God or if we don't, if we remain immersed in selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others), or if our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves etc. Here are some examples:

"If you repent, I will restore you ... (Jeremiah 15:19, NIV)
"If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you ..." (Quran 2:271, Sahih)

When reading The Bible and The Quran, look for the word "if". The word "if" gives us our options and explains the consequences of our choices and actions.

Care For The World As You Do Your Family

We tend to care for ourselves and our families, then our friends, then perhaps our communities and cities, sometimes our countries, then maybe the entire world.

In the same you care about your family, is the same way you need to care about the whole world. After all, the whole world is one family.

How Do You React When Other People Are Suffering?

How do you react when other people receive blows, when other people are suffering?

When some people receive blows, you think, "Good, they deserve it"
Yet when some other people receive blows, you feel that they will learn from it
And still others you say, "What a pity"
And for some, you ache for them

We all need to come to a state where regardless of who's receiving blows, we ache for them. This is something we can't change within ourselves, only The Light can change us. Ask The God of Israel to help you, and He will.

Would You Condemn me?

God asked Job: "Would you condemn me to justify yourself?" (Job 40:8, NIV)
We should ask each other: "Would you harm me to benefit yourself?"

The God Of Israel

The entire world will come to know The God of Israel, as it is written:

"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD (Yahweh) as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14, NIV)
"... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest ..." (Jeremiah 31:34, NIV)

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

The Worm And The Radish

Just because you don't perceive it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

A worm lived in a radish and that's the only world she ever knew. One day, she reached the edge of the radish and poked her head out to see a whole new world.

We live within the confines of our five senses: touch, sight, sound, smell and taste. And even within these senses, we operate within a limited range. For example, we can't see ultraviolet or infrared light, we can only smell a fraction of what dogs can smell etc.

While we've built equipment to detect sounds and lights that exist outside the range of our senses, what we 'hear' and 'see' is still limited to the detection ability of the equipment we've built.

You can't say that all you see, is all there is. We know that's not true because we've built equipment that 'hears' and 'sees' more than we do.

If you say you can't perceive it, that's one thing. But to say it doesn't exist because you don't perceive it, that's childish ignorance.

Some people are blind, and those of us who can see tell them what it's like to see. People who are blind don't say that seeing isn't real. They understand that they just don't perceive it.

Humble yourself to the idea that creation if full of many phenomenon that exist outside our current perception and understanding.

There is a Force, God Himself, who will yank you out of your radish and you'll see a whole new world.

Personal Problems

Nobody has personal problems, all problems belong to the general whole. The problems have simply been split up among us, I've got my part and you've got yours. As they say, "Many hands make light work".

From Hatred To Love

Hatred is used to show you who you are. When you hate other people, it's not a reflection of them, it's a reflection of you. You're someone who hates.

Now that you know who you are, you have the potential to become someone who loves. You first need to know hatred in order to know love. One against it's opposite.

Lay Down One's Life?

When Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13, NIV), what does he mean?

He doesn't mean you give up your corporeal life. Now, there are many books, movies and stories where people sacrifice their lives to save others, but this is still rooted in corporeality, it's still a corporeal action.
Jesus means you have to give up your selfish life, meaning you have to rise above your ego, let go of your selfish nature, stop being immersed in selfishness and start seeking to benefit others instead of yourself. This is a spiritual action.

Pray By Being Included In The Group

Today we're in a state where we have to return to unity, to one family. As such, prayer should reflect this sense of togetherness. So pray for others and pray by being included in the group.

Jesus prayed, "Our Father in heaven ...", He didn't pray "My Father in heaven ..." His prayer is inclusive of us all. (Matthew 6:9-13, NIV)

The Gift Of Love

Love is the best gift you can give someone. When you seek to benefit others instead of yourself, giving unconditionally, expecting nothing in return, this is the gift of love.

Conditional And Unconditional Love

Here's the difference between conditional love and unconditional love:

Conditional Love is from the side of the ego, you love a person if they're good to you, but if they betray you, then you stop loving them and you grow to hate them.
Unconditional love is when you don't think about yourself. It doesn't matter how others treat you - whether they're good to you or bad to you - you always seek to benefit them instead of yourself.

Love Covers All Wrongs

Love and hatred go hand in hand. You need one and it's opposite. First you need the hatred so you can come to know love. Without hatred, you can't know love.

Therefore, love is built on hatred. The greater the hatred, the greater the potential for love. With this understanding, you come to see that the bad is also good, meaning that hatred is a necessary part of getting to love.

As it is written, "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers all wrongs." (Proverbs 10:12, NIV)

Simply Want To Be In Bestowal

We're not demanded to be sacred, only God Himself can change us. We're demanded to want - to want to be in bestowal, to want to benefit others instead of ourselves.

By wanting, we create a deficiency for God to fulfill. Simply want to be in bestowal and God will do the rest, He will change us.

Copyright © 2014, Carter Kagume. All Rights Reserved.

Connecting To The Creator

If we don't connect between us, we won't connect to The Creator. If we connect between us, we'll connect to The Creator.

We have to connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration, seeking to benefit each other instead of ourselves. Only then will we connect to The Creator.

Love Is Like A Pet

Love is like a pet - you have to feed it, care for it, look after it, and watch it grow and develop.

When we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, the growth is gradual. We have to be patient and persistent. Then love will blossom into relationships that are based on mutual concern and consideration.

You Can't Buy Love

You can't buy love because love itself is a currency, the currency of love. Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself.

Copyright © 2014, Carter Kagume. All Rights Reserved.

The Pleasure Of Bestowing

It feels good to give.
It feels good to give to someone else.
It feels good to give to someone else, to see them benefit from my labour.

It feels good to give to someone else, to see them filled with joy and happiness.

It feels good to give to someone else, to see them smile with gladness and pleasure.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

From Being Oblivious To Becoming Active Participants

Today we're immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. As such, we're asleep, blind, oblivious to the forces that operate in nature, we've lost our sensitivity to the forces of nature.

Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We have to wake up, open our eyes and see again. Then we'll become aware of the forces that operate in nature. While God manages everything, we'll become active participants, aware of our role in this integral system.

God Responds To Our Desires

God knows exactly what you're going through right now, but what's missing is your request, you have to ask Him for help.

If God is male and we (all human beings) are female, then just as a gentleman in this realm doesn't impose himself on a woman, so too God doesn't impose Himself on us.

In this realm, generally, men initiate relationships with women. But when it comes to our relationship with God, we (the female) have to initiate the relationship with God. We have to express our desires to Him, then He responds to our desires. We are the desires and He is the fulfillment.

So ask The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to help you and He will.

What Is A Friend?

I guarantee, to seek to benefit you and others, instead of myself.
Do you guarantee, to seek to benefit me and others, instead of yourself?

God Wants To Reveal Himself To Us

"... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest ..."
- Jeremiah 31:34, NIV

God wants to reveal Himself to us, and we will come to know Him when our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Evil

Evil doesn't exist within us, it exists in the connection between us.

When we're immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others, there's no connection between us because everyone's focused on themselves.

However, when we're in bestowal, seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves, we become connected with each other in mutual concern and consideration.

From Bad To Good

It is written, "... there is no one who does good, not even one." (Psalms 14:3, NIV)

Some people interpret this to mean that we're all bad, we've always been bad and we'll always be bad. Not true.

It's talking about being immersed in the quality of selfishness, which is where we are today. Yet we can come out of selfishness to bestowal, we can go from bad to good.

Copyright © 2014, Carter Kagume. All Rights Reserved.

Cry And Ask

Let yourself cry. Show God the emptiness you feel inside. He knows you feel it, but you have to ask Him. He can't just fill it without your asking. You have to ask Him.

God Wants Us To Be In Bestowal

We want the pleasures of this life - food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, power etc. Yet God wants us to be in bestowal, seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves.

God wants to reveal Himself to us, He wants us to know Him, as it is written, "... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest ..." (Jeremiah 31:34, NIV)

As such, Nature pushes us to develop, to want something more - to want The Light.

Born Of Flesh And Spirit

This realm is a realm of change - physical change and spiritual change:

Physical Change: We're born of flesh, we start off as babies and we grow and develop.
Spiritual Change: We're born of spirit, our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. When this happens, we start off as babies and we grow and develop.

Jesus said, "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." (John 3:6, NIV)

This realm is a realm of change, growth and development. You're not supposed to come here, park in one place and be comfortable. You're expected to grow in more ways than one.

If you're experiencing pressure in your life - at home, work, etc., then the forces of Nature are pushing you to develop.

Use this pressure as an opportunity to cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He's the only one who can change your internal qualities from selfishness to bestowal, so ask Him to help you and He will. But you have to ask. He won't do it unless you ask. So ask.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Wake Up

Wake up from selfishness to bestowal. Rise from the dead of selfishness to life in bestowal. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

Be mindful of your thoughts because they create your reality. If you agree with negative thoughts and disagree with positive thoughts, then you create a negative reality.

Whereas if you disagree with negative thoughts and agree with positive thoughts, then you create a positive reality. Be mindful of your thoughts because they create your reality.

No Bad Qualities

There's no such thing as a bad quality, it depends on how you use it. For example if you're a thief, it depends on who you steal from, who you steal for and what you steal?

Anything you take from the quality of selfishness is a good thing, especially when you do so for the sake of the quality of bestowal.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Forever Empty

In this funny but very real segment, comedian Louis C.K. explains to Conan O'Brien about that 'forever empty' feeling we all feel inside.

YouTube Video: Louis C.K. Hates Cell Phones

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HbYScltf1c

Accessed: January 15, 2014

We don't want a single moment of emptiness, we don't want to feel alone, so we fill our days with meaningless nothingness to distract us from that empty feeling - turning to drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, work, entertainment, hobbies and other distractions.

We feel empty because we're disconnected from each other and from God Himself. Only God can fill that empty place that exists within each and every one of us.

Cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ask Him to help you and He will hear your cry.

Fulfillment comes only when our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Then we'll connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration and we'll become connected to God in quality. Plus, we'll begin to sense spiritual pleasure, which will fill us in ways nothing else ever could.

Bullying

Bullying is a problem with children and in schools. Bullying comes from the quality of selfishness, from our ego. We put others down, we insult others, we harm others, to make ourselves feel better, because we want to feel greater than others.

Sometimes, we take pleasure from other people's pain, we enjoy seeing other people suffer.

We all have to change. Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. We have to rise above our egos and stop harming ourselves, others and all of nature.

Instead, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. In this way, we'll connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration. Only then, will we put a permanent end to bullying.

Thank You Canada

From:
Carter Kagume

To:
The People Of Canada

Dear Canadians,

Thank you for looking after me. I couldn't have done this without your care, concern and support. I thank you, the hosts of heaven thank you and God Himself thanks you.

You will be forever blessed.

Money

Today we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. As such we have differing expectations about money:

Those who have money, expect to keep it all to themselves, they don't want to share with others because they're thinking only about themselves.
Those who don't have money, expect other people to give it to them, they don't want to share with others, they're thinking only about themselves.

This results in social tension between the rich and the poor as the social gap between the rich and the poor widens.

If our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, our relationship with money will change:

Those who have money, will use it to benefit others instead of themselves
Those who don't have money will be taken care of by those who do

The gap between the rich and the poor will narrow, and social tension and unrest will disappear. Eventually, even money itself will disappear and we'll become connected in mutual concern and responsibility.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Positive Reinforcement

When in doubt, offer positive reinforcement. Meaning, when you don't know what to do or say, say something positive and constructive instead of being critical and judgmental.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Repent And Return To God

What does repent and return to God mean?

Repent

Leave the quality of selfishness behind

Stop seeking to benefit yourself at the expense of others
Stop harming yourself, others and all of nature

Return To God

Return to the quality of bestowal (God's quality), return to God in quality

Seek to benefit others instead of yourself
Connect with others in mutual concern and consideration
Reach harmony and balance with all of nature

Patience, Endurance And Stubbornness

You have to have patience, endurance and stubbornness when working in the quality of bestowal. You have to be constantly willing to give up your quality of selfishness.

Do the opposite of what your ego tells you. Your ego wants you to think only of yourself, so think only of others. Your ego wants you to benefit yourself, so benefit others.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Out of Many, One

The latin phrase, "E pluribus unum", which means "Out of many, one" is on the seal of The United States of America. It means that out of many people and out of many life forms on earth, we have to unite in mutual concern and consideration and become one living family.

In fact, the entire constitution of The United States speaks only about the unity of the whole world and our connection with God Himself. Here is the spiritual interpretation of the preamble:

The Preamble	Spiritual Explanation

I'm Not A Hero, I'm A Wimp

Many years ago I went to watch a movie with a friend, and some young men sat behind us and started spitting in his hair. I didn't do anything, I froze, almost embarrassed. Why didn't I say something to them? Why didn't I do something? Because I'm not a hero, I'm a wimp.

There are times when I was brave and I stood up and fought for others, but there are times when I could have helped or protected others and I didn't.

I wish I'd fight for others all the time, be a real hero and protect others always, not stand idly by while others suffer.

Regrets are hard to live with, but then I remember that there is none else besides Him, and every event is meant to be.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

A Letter To The Spies Who Spy On Me

From:
Carter Kagume

To:
The Spies Who Spy On Me

Dear spies:

Just so you know, by spying on me you fulfill prophecy from The Book of Psalms in The Bible:

O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me. Make your way in front of me smooth. (Psalms 5:8, NOG)
Teach me your way, O Yahweh. Lead me on a level path because I have enemies who spy on me. (Psalm 27:11, NOG)
My enemies spy on me. Pay them back with evil. Destroy them with your truth! (Psalm 54:5, NOG)
All day long my enemies spy on me. They harass me. There are so many fighting against me. (Psalm 56:2, NOG)
Elohim will come to meet me. He will let me gloat over those who spy on me. (Psalm 59:10, NOG)
My eyes gloat over those who spy on me. My ears hear the cries of evildoers attacking me. (Psalm 92:11, NOG)

It has been made known to me who you are. Tell your bosses, and your bosses bosses, and your bosses bosses bosses that everything is transparent before God.

Since you're spying on me, you know my message:

Your internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal.
Instead of seeking to benefit yourself, seek to benefit others.
You cannot change your own internal qualities, only God can change you. Cry out to the One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and ask Him to change you and He will.
