PURPOSE
homo sapiens today ,” he said . “ If we don ’ t have foresight , preplanning and repetitive training , we ’ ll have hindsight and reactions with impulses and instincts instead of working with reason .
Demartini acknowledges that it can be challenging to change a mind-set – either your own or someone else ’ s – particularly in the middle of the clash , but , this is where coming to understand other people ’ s values or priorities and respecting and communicating in these values plays a crucial role .
“ Any time we have emotional reactions and see only the downsides and not find the hidden meaning and benefits behind an event , we ’ ll cyclically perpetuate that irrational reaction on to the next generation . We ’ ll keep unwisely repeating anything that we haven ’ t found higher value , meaning , or purpose in .”
That sense of higher value , or meaning is vital to healing wounds and turning the current and apparent tide of self- or other- destruction . “ The key is to make sure we find meaning and not make the deaths meaningless and to see how we can more effectively communicate our actions and differences of opinion in the future . This is why education and repetitive training is essential to reduce any misperceived inequalities or intentions . It takes somebody truly caring to make and take an incredibly bold step to come out of their comfort zone of impulsive reaction .”

Demartini feels that asking wise questions that bring about more balance and meaning to the mind is a key to thriving and appreciating more than just surviving and discriminating . “ Although we may have differences in colors and viewpoints , the truth is , we are capable of wisely interacting , and we can appreciate and love each other , by asking wise questions and balancing out our perceptions .”
