From Caterpillar To Butterfly

Education Needs To Change

Our entire educational system needs to change from competitive learning to cooperative learning. Round tables need to be incorporated into the classroom. Here is a list of changes that need to take place in the educational system:

We're All In This Together

Remember, as we go through this change from selfishness to bestowal, we're all in this together. Everyone will be affected. No one is exempt, not even me. I'm right in the thick of it.

Do not be afraid. God is with us.

Stay Calm

Change is a powerful force that can be disruptive and unpleasant to go through. It's important to stay calm.

Keep in mind that nature waits for no one. When it was time for the dinosaurs to disappear, they disappeared. Now it's time for the quality of selfishness to disappear, so it'll disappear.

Our internal qualities are going to change from selfishness to bestowal and we're going to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

We're going to go through an internal transformation that will align us with the integral laws of nature. As we go through this process, stay calm and breathe.

Do not be afraid, God is with us.

Change Is A Good Thing

These are times of change and we're all going to be affected. We've been immersed in the quality of selfishness and now our internal qualities are going to change from selfishness to bestowal.

Instead of seeking to benefit ourselves, we're going to seek to benefit others. We're going to connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility and we're going to reach harmony and balance with the integral laws of nature.

Change can be a hard thing to go through, because we're all creatures of habit. Habit and routines provide comfort because they stabilize our days and we know what to expect, even if our habits and routines are destructive.

Our destructive habits of selfishness are going to be replaced by constructive habits of bestowal. Change is coming and all our bad habits and routines are going to be affected.

Do not be afraid, God is with us.

Do Not Be Discouraged

These are times of change. The end times, because it's the end of the quality of selfishness, and it's also the beginning, the beginning of the quality of bestowal. In this way, it's the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega.

What you see in the world today is signs of the end times, the birth pains that we're expected to go through as we transition from selfishness to bestowal: floods, storms, earthquakes, crises in - family, education, finance, government, ecology, etc.

Just as a woman goes through labour to give birth to a baby, we too must go through labour to give birth to our new baby - the quality of bestowal. Breathe and stay calm.

Do not be afraid and do not be discouraged.

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.

Free Sanctuaries Required

The entire world is going to go through a major transformation, our internal qualities are going to change from the quality of selfishness to the quality of bestowal. Instead of seeking to benefit ourselves, we're going to seek to benefit others.

Connected to this, people are going to go through an event - a change in the perception of their reality. Meaning people are going to perceive two qualities: their own individual selfish quality and the quality of bestowal.

This revelation is similar to labour or child birth in that it's a traumatic event and people will be deeply affected.

Meaning people are going to leave their families, their friends, their jobs, their communities, their lives etc. They're going to leave everything behind and depart in a hurry. Of this Jesus said, "Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath." (Matthew 24:20, NIV)

As such, free sanctuaries need to be made available to house, shelter, help, feed, clothe, take care of and support these people once they leave their lives and homes behind.

Churches, temples, synagogues, mosques and other organizations including governments should be prepared for this and they should make the necessary arrangements to provide for and take care of these people for free.

Doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health professionals and other relevant professionals should also be aware that this event is going to take place and they should be prepared to help.

The people who go through a change in the perception of their reality may be in shock, they may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and they may not be able to talk or communicate clearly.

They may also exhibit other symptoms, including but not limited to: confusion, quiet disposition, isolating behaviour, insomnia, sleeping too much, lack of appetite, lack of interest in daily activities, be easily overwhelmed, crying, be abrupt, abrasive, defensive, non-communicative, unable to talk, evasive, secretive, they may pace, be anxious, nervous, stressed, keep to themselves etc.

Don't push or force them to talk, share, open-up or engage in activities they don't want to do. Simply provide them with a safe environment where they can reflect and adjust to the revelation they've been through. They need time to recover.

Perception Clinics or something similar could also be established to give people a place to go - a place where they can get support, advice, referrals, assistance etc. All safety precautions need to be taken to prevent people from ending up on the streets.

Going through a change in the perception of one's reality is a traumatic event; however, people don't have to endure it alone, arrangements should be made to help and support them.

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.

Who Is the Greatest?

The standards of greatness in this realm are opposite to the standards of greatness in the spiritual realm.

In this realm, greatness is determined by how much a person has, how rich they are, how many possessions they own, how talented they are, how smart they are, how much power they have etc. A great person is someone who is better than others, more important than others, more powerful than others, smarter than others, more talented than others, richer than others etc. Great people expect other people to serve them, they expect to be served.

In the spiritual realm, greatness is determined by how much a person can give to others, how much they can benefit others and how much they can contribute to the welfare and well-being of others. A great person is someone who nullifies themselves to others, others are more important than they are. Great people serve others.

Jesus explained this when He said, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." (Mark 9:35, NKJV)

The world is going to go through a major transformation. Our internal qualities are going to change from selfishness to concern for others. We're going to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

This transformation will also change the way we perceive greatness. The greatest people will be those who do the most to benefit others and society as a whole. The greatest people will serve others instead of themselves.

The Role of Women in Society Has To Change

The role of women in society has to change. Women have to change from selfishness to concern for others, seeking to benefit others instead of themselves.

Women comprise over 50% of the world's population, yet their contribution to the well-being of the world has yet to be seen. Women have yet to realize their true potential.

In front of God, men and women are equal, yet there are obvious differences between men and women, especially when it comes to family matters and children.

With growing consumerism and the rising cost of living, both parents now work in order to sustain a certain standard of living. Women left the home to work, to seek greater fulfillment, status, and new experiences, trying to live up to their full potential.

However, due to the lack of continuous parental care, the lack of basic lessons on etiquette and ethics, the lack of their mother's nurturing influence, children have grown up without the appropriate parental supervision. The children, the family and society have suffered as a result.

Women's role in the family was also greatly undervalued and underappreciated, which is why many women left the home, unaware of the impact it would have.

Today it's become clear that women's role in the family is a key component for raising healthy children, having a healthy family and maintain a healthy society.

Society as a whole needs to change the way it views 'moms', 'stay-at-home-mothers' and 'housewives'. The role typically has a negative connotation. However, women's role in the home needs to be seen, valued and appreciated as one of the most important roles in the world.

While women, especially mothers, have natural nurturing instincts, today it's still rooted in selfishness because mothers protect their own children, not the children of others.

If women change their qualities from selfishness to concern for others, and seek to benefit others instead of themselves, women can use their natural nurturing instincts to take care of the whole world. The whole world is one family.

Women need to:
1. Accept that they are a powerful force with true potential to change the whole world
2. Use their natural nurturing instincts to look after the whole world
3. Understand they have a big positive influence on their men and on their children
4. See themselves as teachers and guides in the home
5. Set examples for their children on how to benefit other
6. Teach their children how to benefit others
7. Support the lessons their children learn at school on how to benefit others
8. Understand that how they raise their children affects the whole world
9. Teach their children skills around the home, so they can use them to benefit others

Women need to change from selfishness to love of others, and use their natural nurturing instincts to benefit the whole world.

The Role of Parents In Society Has To Change

Parents have to change from the quality of selfishness to the quality of love of others. Parents need to seek to benefit others (their partners and especially their children) instead of seeking to benefit themselves.

Benefiting others doesn't mean making others happy. It means doing what's good for them.

Unfortunately today, many parents have put their children in daycare while they work long hours away from home. By the time they get home, they're exhausted. They have no time or energy for their children and the little time they spend together is rushed.

Putting children in daycare is not the answer. Having someone else raise your children, while you sell your time and energy to someone else is not the right way.

Many parents feel obligated to work in order to make money for the family and have a comfortable standard of living.

Yet children need their parents. They don't need fancy houses or fancy cars, they need time with their loving parents. There is no better substitute.

Parents need to make the necessary arrangements, changes their lives, simplify their lives, scale back, switch jobs, work part time, do whatever it takes to spend more time with their children.

Parents need to prioritize their children and prioritize their role as parents. Remember, children are the future generation. How they are raised by their parents affects the whole world.

Parents need to:
1. Prioritize their role as parents and take full responsibility for raising their children
2. Make arrangements in their lives to work less and spend more time with their children
3. Understand that children need their parents, there is no better substitute
4. Stop putting their children in daycare and raise their children themselves
5. Set examples for their children on how to benefit other
6. Teach their children how to benefit others
7. Support the lessons their children learn at school on how to benefit others
8. Understand that how they raise their children affects the whole world
9. Teach their children skills around the home, so they can use them to benefit others

Parents need to change from selfishness to love of others and they need to teach their children the principles of mutual guarantee, how to benefit others.

The Film and Television Industry Has To Change

The film and television industry has to change from selfishness to love of others. All people who work in the film and television industry have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

The entire film and television industry has to:
1. Seek to benefit others (including viewers) instead of seeking personal profit and gain
2. Eliminate violent, abusive, inhumane, undignified, vulgar, cruel and immoral content
3. Create content that sets examples of how to benefit others
4. Be a positive influence on society

Our social environment has a big influence on us. As part of our social environment, the film and television industry needs to take responsibility for the influence it has on society.

Negative content influences society in a negative way and positive content influences society in a positive way.

The film and television industry has to change from selfishness to love of others, it has to be based on the principles of mutual guarantee, where everyone seeks to benefit others instead of themselves.

The Political System Has To Change

The political system at all levels (federal, provincial, state, county, municipal and city) have to change from selfishness to love of others. Politicians have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

The entire political system has to:

1. Use a round-table format for discussions, where all members are considered equal
2. Be 100% transparent, even using a reality show format for continuous video feed

3. Deliberate and discuss all issues to demonstrate that all issues have been considered

4. Prioritize actions based on emergencies and need

5. Find a way to include input from all citizens so everyone is given a chance to participate
6. Put an end to all lobby groups and forces that put pressure on the decision making process

 

Transparency will build trust and when citizens are allowed to participate in governance issues, they'll be more likely to cooperate with decisions even if their personal preferences are overlooked. This will reduce resentment because everyone will feel that they're a part of the process.

 

The political system has to change from selfishness to love of others, it has to be based on the principles of mutual guarantee, where everyone seeks to benefit others instead of themselves.

The Health Care System Has to Change

The health care system has to change from selfishness to love of others. Health care professionals have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

The entire health care industry has to:
1. Seek to benefit patients instead of seeking personal profit and gain
2. Provide healing solutions that are permanent instead of temporary solutions that ensure repeat customers
3. Base success on patient recovery instead of monetary gains
4. Focus on compassionate care and humane treatment of all patients
5. Stop all animal testing and animal genetic mutations
6. Provide medicine and health care assistance to the entire world

All people are created equal and as such all people have the right to equal quality health care.

The health care system has to change from selfishness to love of others, it has to be based on the principles of mutual guarantee, where everyone seeks to benefit others instead of themselves.

The Educational System Has To Change

The educational system (for youth and adults) has to change from selfishness to love of others. Students have to learn to benefit others instead of themselves.

All students have to:
1. Learn to cooperate and collaborate instead of compete
2. Learn to work in circles and round-tables where every voice is heard
3. Learn to listen to others and value the contribution of others
4. Learn to problem solve together
5. Learn from experiences such as role playing, outings and field trips
6. Learn to review conflicts and discuss positive alternatives

A Letter To The Whole World - How To Manage Change

From:
Carter Kagume

To:
The whole world

Dear world,

The entire world is going to go through a major change, a change that will affect us all.

Change can be stressful and some people may struggle to adjust. It's important to manage change by clearly communicating what's going to change and by helping people cope.

WHAT'S GOING TO CHANGE?  OUR INNER QUALITIES

Our internal qualities are going to change. We're going to change from the quality of selfishness to the quality of love of others. We're going to seek to benefit others instead of seeking to benefit ourselves.

Once people's inner qualities change, the entire world will change because it will affect how we interact with each other.

To date, the entire world has been built on the quality of selfishness. Once our inner qualities change from selfishness to love of others, we'll rebuild the entire world on the quality of love of others.

As such, the entire world will change. All social, political and economic systems will be affected and life as we know it will change.

CHANGE CAN BE STRESSFUL

Nobody likes change. It can be a stressful time because we become set in our ways and used to old familiar routines.

Change brings new standards, new expectation, new methods and practices, new ways of doing things and this can push people out of their comfort zone.

This can lead to anxiety, apprehension, uncertainty, stress, tension, fear of the unknown and the whole process can be a little scary.

COPING WITH CHANGE

The change that's about to take place is inevitable; it has to take place: we have to change our qualities from selfishness to love of others.

Here are a few ways to cope with the change:

1. Since our inner qualities will change from selfishness to concern for others, think about how others will benefit. Don't think about yourself or how you're being inconvenienced, let go of yourself and think of others.

2. Don't fight or resist the change that's about to take place. Accept it and allow it to happen.

3.  Be a part of the solution by becoming actively involved in the process. Our social environment has a big influence on us; as part of your social environment, set altruistic examples for others to follow. Be a positive influence by engaging in acts that benefit others.

4. If you feel overwhelmed, turn to friends and family for support. Remember, we're all in this together, everyone will be affected. Turn to others for support and in turn be a support for others.

Going through a change can be a trying time, but managing change can help people cope. There is nothing to fear, don't worry, everything will be okay. We'll succeed, but only together.

May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lead us, guide us and show us the way.

God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

A Prayer for Change to Come to the Whole World

You are God, The One True God
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

We pray for change to come to the whole world
For our internal qualities to change
From selfishness to love of others
So we may seek to benefit others instead of ourselves
And enter and live in the Kingdom of God

The world has changed throughout history
And everything we see today changes constantly

Yes this is the first time our internal qualities will change
Our internal qualities are unseen, hidden
They are of the heart, within us

Yet You see the heart
You know our deepest desires
You know what we are thinking and what we are feeling

Change us
From the quality of selfishness
To the quality of love of others
So we may connect with You
With each other
And with the entire world
