What would make the world a better place?

Answer 1

if we all had the same beliefs...and if there were no countries.

Answer 2

We must evolve past our violent nature. It will take time, and time only. But for now, it is upon the individual to make choices. Give to charity. If you do not have spare money, then give your spare time. Check in with local charities to see what you can do. People get better. Communities get better. The world gets better. Maybe wars don't end, but at least life is just a little less bad than it was.

Answer 3

To answer this question, it might be useful to ask, "What has made the world a worse place?" To answer this question, we must ask, "What makes the world?"

I believe that the soul makes the world. Each of us is a soul that appears on the physical plane as a human body, but the soul also extends beyond the physical plane and interacts with universal forces to make the world we personally experience.

Another example of something that appears in the physical world, but extends beyond it, is energy. On the physical plane, we perceive the energy from the sun as the seven colors of the rainbow --- but this is only the visible bandwidth, the part we can see. The energy from the sun is also detectable on levels we cannot perceive with our senses. We have proven that the sun exists on levels outside of what we normally think of as the physical world.

The same is true of the human soul. The human soul extends beyond what we perceive as the physical world.

The activity of the soul is to be a doorway through which universal energy pours into physical existence, taking the shape of whatever we choose to put our attention on. This is what makes the world. All of the universal laws that apply to the physical world and all of the common ground we share with each other are basic agreements shared by all of our souls, and they create the stage upon which we act out our lives; but our personal experiences are shaped by the choices we personally make about what to focus our attention on.

What has made the world a worse place is that long ago some few people decided that instead of just focusing their attention on making life nice for themselves, it would be more fun for them and more of a challenge to try to gain control over other people (and make the world less fun for these other people.)

No one has any power over you, but we all agreed to be here in a place where we could co-create, or share experiences, so these few people who want to control others can interact with you if you allow it. So what they did was figure out how to direct other people’s attention and get these other people to create things they did not like. That is how the world got into the mess it is in today…and they are still directing people’s attention toward things we don’t want to have in our world.

This is what a magician or a con man does. They get you to look where they want you to look, then they manipulate things while your attention is elsewhere. They also get us to give up our power by lying to us or omitting information. This is propaganda.

One of the biggest lies is that we are not spiritual beings, that we have no soul and no power. Many people believe this lie so strongly that they can’t even entertain the possibility that what I am saying here could be the truth.

However, I am offering what I believe to be the truth. I am explaining it as best I can in metaphysical terms, without bringing any religion into it, but I believe it is the same truth that many religions are also trying to explain in their own words.

What would make the world a better place is for people to take back their power. If people could realize that no one has any power to create in their personal experience except their self, they would see that there is nothing to fear. If people could realize that they can be, do and have anything, they would no longer feel the need to take from others or to become wage-slaves doing work they don’t enjoy.

As individuals and as a collective, we are creating the world the way it is now. So long as our attention is on what we don’t want, we will continue to have more of it despite any external effort we make to change what our soul-force is creating and holding in place.

What would make the world a better place would be for the majority of us to put the majority of our attention on the kind of better place we would like the world to be. Then we would be creating that better place.

This is why “Star Trek” has had such a phenomenal success and an ongoing following. All the apocalyptic and doomsday visions of the future that have come and gone in movies and on television failed to attract and hold the attention of the majority because that is not what we want. Star Trek presented a vision of a positive future: humans who as a society have done away with war, work for their own betterment and the betterment of others, no longer practice greed, racism or religious intolerance and who explore the universe in peace and with goodwill.

This is by no means a denial of reality. The Bible says, “Whatever you ask for, believing you have already received it, will be given to you.” This is just another way of saying that attention creates reality. What we call “reality” right now is simply the creation that has resulted from where we have been putting our attention. If we keep putting our attention in the same place we will keep getting the same reality. If we start to put our attention on what we want, instead of what we don’t want, we will get a new “reality”.

Think of the activity of the soul as if it were a vehicle, a “soul-car.” When you drive your car, you put your attention on where you want to go, and the car takes you there. Your attention is leading the way. When you are creating reality, you have to put your attention on where you want to go, not where you are now, or else you will never get anywhere.

I’m not saying we should totally ignore the present. I’m just saying that we need to focus more attention on where we want to go and less on where we are.

Whether we like it or not, whether we know it or not, we have the power. We have been deceived into thinking we do not have the power, but we do. We are creating and sustaining the present condition of the world and only by reclaiming our power and using it intentionally can we make this world a better place.

Answer 4

I know it's a long shot but....


If people would start making themselves better people instead of trying to change the world, that might help.

Answer 5

I agree with Gee, any change you want to see in the world must begin with yourself. Want world peace but can't get along with your neighbor? Think there needs to be more compassion & love but you gossip about the person in the next room? Think of it, if each one would just clean up their own act & be what they want to see happen in the world, it would happen. The problem is everyone wants to fix the other guy.
Blessings.
