"Don't be afraid; just believe". - Mark 5:36

Believe in and develop your full humanness potential as its fruits are a pure life.
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness..." Galatians 5:22-23

The biggest source of wisdom is the holy scriptures especially the bible. Again and again the bible is saying that Jesus is the son of man. And that we are all son of man. Thus there is a direct connection between the goodness of Jesus (the highest quality man ) and us all. Even Jesus' own life is a clear demonstration that Jesus had to go through the learning process of the ropes of life before he became the Christ. It clearly shows that we all have to go through the learning process before we become the full humanness potential that is in all of us.


Here St. Mark is telling us to take away the confusion and doubts, the fear originating from the confusions of life and believe in our own self. Again in Galatians it is saying that the true spirit that we are all made of is all good. If this is so then why do we have so much ignorance? Why do we have hatred, depression, war, restlessness, meanness, badness..? If we are all made of the Spirit then how come we have all these attributes of ignorance in us? As our Spirit is pure we should all be the very embodiment of wisdom and purity.
Well just like Jesus went through life's learning lessons before he became the Christ we have to go through the learning lessons of life before we can actualize the Spirit/humanness in us.

This Spirit is a seed. Just like any seed it needs a fertile ground, the right amount of sun, nutrients, air and water. Just as plants need tender loving care we humans need a healthy womb life and a nurturing upbringing
in order to directly develop the full potential of the Spirit.

The important lesson here is to understand that we are all essentially good, all made with the DNA of goodness/purity. It is up to us to wake up to this fact and try to reeducate our self in order to become our original goodness. Especially those who are planning to bring new life into the world they must learn the ropes of a healthy upbringing.

It is a false belief that basic human nature is brutal. So how come this brute in us is not of the same strength in all of us? Then how come vast sections of society are selfless human beings? There are good and bad and in between people because each upbringing is different. Bad upbringing creates bad people and good upbringing creates good people. The bible is reminding us that we are all good potentials and that this potential has to be nurtured in the correct way.

Above all the bible is saying that we all have the Christ potential in each and every one of us. Thus we are basically made up of the highest purity humanness. So what is stopping us from actualizing this potential?

First we have to realize and understand the implications of the above bible quotations. Our basic human nature is not brutal it is the very personification of wisdom! We have to develop this potential.
