What can you do will depend on what exactly you want to change in this world.

No singular individual or group has the right to determine how or why the world should or should not change. You only have the right to determine what is acceptable to you and to act accordingly ensuring that you do not transgress upon the rights of others in the process. People can choose to support each other with a common set of ideas, beliefs or values but they have absolutely no right to compel others to conform to their ideologies. If everyone respects the rights of others and is not plagued by envy, selfishness and greed then there would be no need for change. If you truly want to change the world you have to start with yourself and those within your circle of positive influence.

This idea is born out of the conflict between the perceptions of your higher and lower selves with respect to the prevailing circumstances and the dreams. As you evolve and merge with truth you realize that this idea of "change and its nature" is subjective and is born due to developing but not yet developed perceptions. Actually the life (which is beyond time and intelligence) has been pervading and vitalizing us from time immemorial. This energizing or electrifying of our existences is associated with our instincts, emotions, thoughts and our overall passage through time. The life however acts without any claims of credit! Its actions are universal, ubiquitous and impeccable. As a result of ongoing evolution associated with your practice of NAMASMARAN you realize that when human intelligence merges with "this cosmic life" the knowledge of reality, realization and the change in the world manifest simultaneously. In fact; the most just change in the world manifests through your merger with cosmic life (i.e. the nature i.e. God) that enlivens you. Awareness of this leaves nothing else to do but NAMASMARAN. This apparent inaction is combined culmination of most fulfilling and universal thinking, being and manifesting or doing! This is the essence of changing the world!

It is very difficult to make big changes in the world, but very easy to make small changes. If you pick up a piece of litter from the sidewalk, you have made that sidewalk neater. The sidewalk is part of the world. Change the sidewalk and the world is changed, at least to some tiny degree. Everything that you do causes some change in the world. However, if your objective is to solve major global problems, bring peace to the middle east, stop global warming, feed the hungry, cure HIV, and so forth, those things are much more difficult. The usual strategy would be to join some organization that is working on those problems (whichever problem most concerns you) and then do what you can to support that organization. You may not personally change the world, but you can contribute to that process.

If I could change the world at this point in my life, I would change the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. Rather than seeing one's own needs as a priority, the focus would be on taking are of their loved ones and those less fortunate. The emphasis would be on common enrichment as opposed to personal enrichment. You know, the golden rule - "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." How is this a change? Because even though there are a lot of people who live this way, just the fact that there are those who don't NEGATE the power of those who do. Until EVERYONE can live this way, there will always be someone who will take advantage of others, lie, cheat, steal to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Those who take more than their share, those who waste when others go without. Those who are never satisfied with seeking satisfaction. Those whose hunger goes unchecked despite their ravenous consumption. Those who take from the commons and don't give back. If I could change the world, we would all work together to the benefit of mankind, and thank God for what He has given us. But that is what is in store for those who are destined for Heaven in the afterlife.

Now there is always Ying and Yang. When in life should I be the opposite, when should I be Intolerant? I believe I should be Intolerant

When someone is being a Bully!

When someone is being abused!

When someone is being gossiped about just to be put down.

When someone is being lazy! But not how you are thinking about lazy. What I mean is socially lazy.

When a person would rather talk to you to find out about another person instead of taking the time to find out about them themselves!

When someone is Intolerant to another person for what they believe in. The definition in the dictionary of a bigot is a person who is intolerant to another and/or their creed, what they believe in.

Or when someone is being selfish!

A good person should speak up because if you only do the first part of just being a good person you are only half a person. What I have also noticed is after I have explained what I have done and what that person has shown about themselves is that they change for the better, treating everyone else better than they did before. Because someone has spoken up, people start to look inward at them selves and at the word they might have used to answer this question. I put this sign in my car. In one word what makes a good person. Overnight people's attitudes changed for the better. The bullying has decreased towards others, there is no more abuse, the gossip is less and the selfishness has slowed down. At the same time though the people that I have proven one or more of the 6 things about them, is they hate me for the rest of their life. But this is OK they have changed for the better for everyone else.

If you happen to know of someone who hates me ask them "what did you prove about yourself to Wayne and did he have to speak up to you".

"What word would you chose to describe a good person."

This is the only thing that I can think of on how to explain why I am so lucky in the things that I do and the things that have happened to me after I have spoken up when someone has been this way. I cannot give any other Explanation. In having the courage to speak out when it is needed.

Earthellism (EHM), the new philosophy of the 21st century,revisits this great question. The answer is to stop using religion as one's philosophy and help find/develop the great philosophy of the 21st century. The Old Testament was written 5000 years ago and the New Testament is close to 2000 years old, and to this day people use these scriptures for modern day advise. The world was still flat and the sun revolved around the earth back at that time and we have advanced as a species to enourmous knowledge. Religion is the foundation of a house but philosphy is the design and furniture of that house. To see politicians pretend to be philosphers is sickening and they should be called what they really are: pseudo-leaders who follow the polls to stay in power. The great true philosophers would be insulted if you called them a politician and they avoided political office. Currently there is no living great philosopher to guide us at this time but hopefully we will find one and do not ever let a politician become our great philosopher.
