Thanks for coming back, please leave a comment on a post you like I would love to hear your thoughts.

In part 3 we talk about increasing energy by decreasing resistance:

“There can be no doubt that, of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.  Not without reason said that man of wisdom, Buddha: “Ignorance is the greatest evil in the world.” The friction which results from ignorance, and which is greatly increased owing to the numerous languages and nationalities, can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity.

The establishment of permanent peaceful relations between nations would most effectively reduce the force retarding the human mass, and would be the best solution of this great human problem.
Now a lot can be said about this one! To establish peace and reduce the friction created by ourselves around energy and velocity we can only begin with ourselves. It is here in the fertile ground of our own beliefs, thoughts, emotions and life strategies that we can bear the most fruit and thereby change the world.” Nicola Tesla
We cannot hope to change this by changing them outwardly before changing them inwardly. If each of us took this to heart and made space in each and every day to think about their beliefs, and decide which of them were creating friction and resistance to what is, in their lives everything would change exponenitially.
All it really takes is a change of heart. What causes these beliefs that create resistance boils down to one simple thing – FEAR! Fear of change, fear of being hurt, fear of what is different, fear of not being lovable and most of all fear of not being good enough.
These fears began as survival strategies first of all when man was fighting for his life surviving in a world that seemed very threatening; interestingly enough animals display many of these same fears. Most animals tend to shun the one who is different even among their own species, why because blending in to their environment is a part of their survival mechanism. A white lion, although pretty does not blend into the grasses in the same way as a yellow one and hunting with a white lion means slim pickings.
Man however needs to realise he is now above needing to use these kinds of survival mechanisms, he is no longer reliant on blending in other than when this belief holds sway over his tribe. This is true of many of these beliefs that are still passed on from parent to child, trouble is many of them no longer serve us, and many of them never did. The parent who passes down a belief that love hurts has passed down a belief that can trigger behaviour that make that true, it is a legacy of hurt.
The parent who passes down a fear and hatred of difference, has created bigotry, as a fear in the heart of their child and no matter how much that child may want to change it, until it is conscious it cannot be changed.
I love to confront my own fears, often in ways that make others go a little green around the gills, I am of course hardest on myself If I feel any resistance I love to quiz myself on what is happening, and why and if it is an old fear button raising its head, I will immediately insist that I challenge it in some way. Often by doing the very thing I fear or resist to prove to myself it is not true.
Peace within equals peace without! Tesla was so right it is ignorance that promulgates friction in our world. It is time to learn that these old survival mechanisms that are still passed down from parent to child and from tribe to tribe need to be allowed to disappear. We only need to fear, fear itself. It is time for each one of us to take stock, what do we believe? What thoughts do those beliefs create in our minds? What emotions come from those thoughts? And do they still serve us or is it time to change our minds? This in my mind is a daily task.
What do you think?
