Thats why its so rewarding to live in the present. It takes away all the negative things which might have happened, erases them. If lets say someone will sue another person, being in the present gives him the opportunity to forgive instead of suing him. The result will be good for both of them. He wont have the stress and pain of reversing the negative event over and over again, causing him to get more upset, angry or depressed. By forgiving; he finds himself in a much better state of mind all of a sudden. No one can get the same result by receiving millions; it will take a long time to forget. The memories of it will only fade away at some extend as the time goes bye.
By willing to send someone to death penalty for killing a family member wont bring them to that perfect state of mind even if they watch him during the execution. It will be even worse by seeing the person dying and watching his family being devastated. Their pain will get even worse because of the result. So no one actually gains from the decision of death penalty.
Questions will arise in pain; was it a wrong decision, was it possible to help and change the person who committed the terrible crime. Were the circumstances affecting the criminal to have bad judgment at the moment? None of this will be answered after the person is dead and to think about that possibility will give more pain to the family members of the victim.
He who sustains one life is regarded as if he created the world.
Talmud
How do we recognize that we are like one soul? We dont need proof, there is proof everywhere, in every persons life. Since we dont need proof anymore there comes acceptance. When we create, we think and receive ideas, answer to are questions about our existence. In other words; there is no doubt about our existence and unity. Only when there is no accepting, that can be the cause of the person to easily disconnect from the soul, and humanity. At a higher level all souls are connected to each other in a natural way. Our purpose is to maintain this connection on the humanity level also. If we create this harmony in the world there will be less negativity which includes many stress related diseases. In that case science will improve researches in much better fields. Think about all the funds being used for Aids only that disease is enough to block the way of humanity for a better future. If there was harmony in the world; people wouldnt search comfort and approval in unnatural ways. In war if you have conflicts inside the army, its easier for the enemy to win, because there is weakness.
Thats how Aids won the battle across the world. Ironically it became as powerful as some of the natural disasters. It can be controlled by education, awareness across the world and will power. Unlike an earthquake we have all the tools to avoid a disease to spread. And one of them is connecting to each other just like our souls.
Instead of hate, anger, greed, rage everybody can invite love harmony and peace to their lives. Its now possible to connect with anyone through the inter-net .Instead of seeing each other different, by color , religion, culture, and in many other ways its time for the humanity to wake up and stop to destruct the most developed species; themselves.
We can do a lot individually to create harmony in the world. It can be challenging but not impossible .Many of us have the enormous capacity of thinking, creating. That capacity is literally being wasted for some people, because they dont have the focus.
They are like sailing boats lost in fog. Their souls are not lost, only their selves are lost. They just need to remember and connect again. The soul cant help someone unless the person makes the conscious decision to connect. And the soul is not contaminated by any negative choice the self makes; its pure and intact, always will be
