and contemplate the vastness of the Universe rather then crack another beer and stare at the TV. Look with wonder at
the variety of human forms and personalities rather than close this out as an intrusion on the status quo. Take
responsibility for a small task that improves the life of the least among you, and get hooked on how much better this
makes you feel about yourself than if you had spent that bit of time fussing over yourself.

ZetaTalk: Spiritual Awareness
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
The human animal, from birth, deals with many distractions that obscure communications from the spirit. Hunger,
sexual urges, fright, pain - all demand center stage. Social distractions are just as insistent, as the companion who
demands constant chatter requires as much concentration as a throbbing toothache. Both refuse to go away. Humans
wanting to be in touch with their inner selves develop many techniques for separating themselves from the distractions
- long walks, wilderness retreats, prayer, gardening, meditation. The key practice is to diminish the noise and listen to the upwellings, concentrating on the song the spirit is trying to sing. The key is to eliminate distractions. If this can be accomplished best while folding laundry at an empty laundromat, or walking the dog, or pretending to take a nap, it
matters not.
Where the physical world can be a distraction, yet it is part of God's universe just as the soul is. The soul is aware of the physical world, as these are memories that the soul carries with it, one incarnation to another. The entity well
integrated with the physical world is making a true connection to God’s universe, celebrating the rich connections. The notion that spirituality is separate from the physical world is perpetrated by elites who would tell you that only special individuals who can separate themselves from the physical are able to understand the spirit world. This is nonsense!

ZetaTalk: Self Righteous
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
The self righteous are invariably those who are anything but righteous - they are self focused, and in our opinion this is not right. The arrogance of the self righteous is symptomatic of spiritual immaturity, where superficial actions are
taken to stand for what should be spiritual depth. Rather than empathize with others they chose to stand apart. Rather
than muddy their hands and feet they walk the safe, clean path. Do they think the higher spiritual realms are attained
by avoidance and clean hands?

ZetaTalk: EST
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Among the self-development programs promulgated by humans there are some that are exceptional, encouraging
growth in the advocates by unleashing mental or emotional shackles, but most simply use existing channels of learning
and strict or even harsh rules. EST falls into the latter group, producing graduates that are more akin to well trained dogs than thinking humans. All resistance to the imperviousness of rules is broken, so that the advocate becomes a
virtual robot in the instructors hands. Thus guided, the advocate presumes they have improved, when in fact they have
improved only in the eyes of their instructors. EST, like many cults, creates followers that can be counted on to obey, as all who were inclined otherwise dropped out of the program in disgust.
These types of programs are the opposite of what they claim to be, self-improvement or confidence builders, which
would be the case were the programs run by individuals oriented towards Service-to- Others. Slavish obedience even
in the face of pain and humiliation is quite the opposite, a program run by those in the Service-to-Self, who have many guises for their aims.

ZetaTalk: Survival of the Fittest
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Polarization of the orientations occurs even in cultures where the life support systems are ample, so that all living
members of the intelligent species survive. Polarization of the orientations occurs due to myriad decisions the entity
makes, that build upon each other until the trend is undeniable. For those leaning toward the Service-to-Self, each self-focused decision requires that they harden themselves against others, and focus on what they consider the rewards for
having done so. This tends to harden them, increasingly, as these decisions are made, until cruelty becomes a power
trip, all sense of empathy having been lost. For those leaning toward Service-to-Others, each rescue of another is
rewarded by the comfort and joy that another experiences, which is likewise experienced vicariously. Sacrifice is
weighted in this light, so that as empathy and the ability to experience comfort vicariously increases, the sacrifice
