SOS BOOK Chapter 30: Our personal growth benefits others!



SELF-DEVELOPMENT CAN BENEFIT ALL.

The aim of our inner journey is to achieve our life’s grand purpose, for the benefit of all. The human collective will also benefit from our personal growth. We don’t need to be advanced in this journey to start helping others. Just by starting you are already making a positive difference to the world.


We all contribute energetically to collective human consciousness. We automatically add our own energy, both positive & negative. So, the more positive growth from every one of us, the better!

…Can you see how your own growth can benefit the whole world?


OUR TRANSFORMATION HAS A RIPPLE EFFECT.

People who are positive & loving, spread their good influence. They do this through their high vibe and positive interaction with others. Our interactions have an outward ‘ripple effect’. It’s like ripples spreading out from a pebble dropped in a pond.


Each person can positively influence a number of people, and these people can again do the same. Most of these effects are subtle and not easy to observe. But this effect spreads out over the entire planet!


This worldwide influence is sometimes called ‘the butterfly effect’. A small change in one area, represented by the wingbeats of a butterfly, can lead to a major change elsewhere. The gentle beating of a butterfly's wings could potentially trigger a storm far away. Similarly, small changes in our personal life can potentially affect the whole world.

OUR INFLUENCE IS GREATER THAN WE IMAGINE.

Another well recognized mechanism of influence is called ‘the hundredth monkey effect’. Once a group of animals in one location learns a useful strategy, this skill is somehow transmitted to other remote groups. This transfer occurs to far distant locations too, even across the seas!

Each positive action has a cumulative beneficial effect. So, when we use our special abilities, however small they might seem, we contribute to something far greater.

…Do you see how your positive example can influence others?


SELF-DEVELOPMENT IS A SERVICE TO OTHERS.

We shouldn’t look at self-development as a selfish activity. Personal growth may be the most valuable community service we do! Think about the collective beneficial effect of many evolved individuals.

We can change the world one person at a time, starting with ourselves! Remember, it is ourselves PERSONALLY that we aim to change, not someone else. But by changing ourselves, we also change the world. This is a positive side effect.


Even the smallest improvement in ourselves will make a difference! Each person’s growth benefits the collective. This contribution accumulates and compounds with many others.


A FEW INFLUENCERS CAN CREATE A GLOBAL SHIFT.

History has shown that a threshold or tipping point is reached when enough people accept a new belief. As a result, the whole community can then more easily accept this new understanding. This cultural shift can even become global! An example of such a global shift was the abolition of slavery, and the establishment of equal rights for women.


Scientific studies have shown that a critical number of thought pioneers is required to lead a cultural change. This percentage required to cross this critical threshold is actually quite small, and usually less than ten percent. Then the remainder of the population will more rapidly follow the same shift.


What if a significant number of people started to live in a more positive way. What if cooperation, harmony, peace, compassion & love became the norm? What a wonderful world it could be! What a potential paradise on Earth.

…Do you support this vision of a better humanity?
