Enthusiastic effort 2

All human activity is not effort, and all effort is not enthusiastic. So there is room for improvement.
The key to this improvement is mind. Mind is intention, means and also result.
Often we describe the goals as non mind, like making money, supporting a family with a home, food and everything else and having a family.
But this is really mind. The evaluation of these factors are mind, often strengthened by instinct.
Even negative incentives as punishment and social degradation are mind.
Mind can support these ideas or negate them totally or in different combinations. Sometimes money is preferred instead of family, sometimes family harmony is preferred to money.
In many social situations we have obvious material goals like a certain house, a car, a family, a job. But if we have the mind perspective nothing of these external factors are important.
It is convenient to have some material facilities, but the essential factor is the processes in mind, and they can reach heaven - literally - without having any obvious, material effects.
The results can be transferred and communicated, if there is a willingness to listen.

Times of change

All this progress, what is it for?
Cars, airplanes, space shuttles, radio, television, movies, cd-records, mp3, computers, broadband ... it is fun to see the progress but to what will it lead?
It might lead to the best of worlds.
That is, the world will self destruct of course. We are in Kali yuga, the last period of the era that started with the last big bang.
So the idea is not to build some static world, but to get an all knowing mind. What is that?
If we see that everything exists in dependence upon everything else we are on the way towards this mind.
The old world is in a slow motion explosion. You feel that? Yes.
Now we need an emergency kit. So here it is:
When everything is a'changing, the only thing we can trust is interdependency. Everything is connected to everything else, everything is dependent upon everything else.
Yes...but what to do practically?
Well, nice things. Feed your cat. It might be your portal to the next era. Keep your heart warm.
