[Excerpts from conversations between Rita Warren and “the guys upstairs,” in the years 2001 and 2002, edited from The Sphere and the Hologram.]
How to Make a Better World
R: One of the things that we think about is how to improve our world for the masses of individuals in it. And we think about that in terms of children, and how children’s lives are led, and how it impacts them and doesn’t. Millions of us have lived our lives trying to make a better world, if you will. And I’m hearing you say well of course, it makes sense that one does that with children. But the whole goal of making a better world doesn’t seem to make any sense from the perspective that you’re speaking.
TGU: We’ll try to say this carefully. Your trying to make a better world is good work, because of what you’re choosing. But “better world” implies that you know how to make a better world. Your ability to know what a better world would be is very great for yourself; it’s pretty good for your family and friends; it’s somewhat good for your neighborhood; and it’s less good the wider the circle goes.
Now, it’s true that abstractly you can have preferences and some of those preferences may be absolutely right. Certainly you want to have clean water rather than water that’s not safe to drink. But in actual human terms your ability to know what’s good and your ability to know what will bring the good is really very limited. We would say your major ability to make the world a better place to live in is one simple thing:
Be a beacon.
R: Say that again?
TGU: Be a beacon. Shine what you are. It’s very powerful. It’s very subtle and seemingly inconsequential. Many of the results are not in the physical plane at all. The closest we could come at the moment would be to say that your reactions – what you are – resonate with others, and that resonance is not just within time-space. We’ve never tried to express this, because you don’t have the words for it. The what-you-are mingles with other people who are the same thing, and it creates a warp, a pattern, in the energy system.
Let’s go back to the basics. By being a beacon, your example – not so much what you do, although that’s how it shows, as through what you do, what you are – encourages other people to be like that as well, and that creates a better world. Now, it’s true that “goodness is as goodness does,” but the “is” and not the “does” is the essence of it. A person could do good works and actually be a negative beacon. A person could do no good works, or none that were apparent, and be quite a positive beacon. So it isn’t the works, it’s the choosing to be what you are.
R: Somehow your essence is communicated out there.
TGU: Yes. Yes, yes. You’re broadcasting your essence every second of the day.
You haven’t any choice about that.

I love this post. I love how directly TGU has put this complicated idea into words. Sometimes, when I least expect it or maybe even never know it, the what-I-am mingles with someone else and resonates as encouragement. I’m not interfering with anyone; I’ve simply made a choice that felt right for me.
