if he can. His emotions are expansive and he does not experience jealousy or an inner resistance as others
around him find success or favor. He does not, vocally nor in his mind, insult or look down upon other
people who happen to be involved with him in the human race.
In becoming a friend to others, he has discovered that his good will must also extend to those who practice
different faiths, techniques, and other forms of sincere worship. He wishes them success and fulfillment.
He wishes them happiness and dynamic growth. He wishes them whatever they need to be the better.
Do You Have Good Will For Others?
Questions To Ponder
Do you have good will for others? Do you wish them the very best even though their paths or goals may
be different from yours, or even seemingly in conflict with yours? Can you, in the largeness of your heart,
put aside jealousy or condemnation? Do you truly have no ill will for them but instead a fraternal good
wish for each and every one?
Do you accept people as they are? Do you notice their needs and struggles? Do you actively and
constructively help people close to you and the world at large? Do you also perform these services with a
happy attitude, with genuine good will? Helping others from a sense of obligation may still be of value but
it does not open your life to higher consciousness.
A Steady Flow
Good will is of extraordinary importance! You can only achieve in the realm of consciousness that
which you hold in good will. Never forget this. For example, if you are striving to gain higher
consciousness, you can only achieve it when you have a very positive and constructive attitude toward it.
And higher consciousness can only fill your being when you are a thoughtful person who maintains good
will toward others, even when you are in highly exalted awareness. Good will is vital.
If you have ill will, fear, or resentment toward higher consciousness you need not worry about whether
you will achieve it. It will never become yours. Higher consciousness will never flow into a vessel which is
closed.
Furthermore, in your meditations, as you do various practices and techniques to become more conscious,
unless you have good will for the focus or techniques of your meditations, you'll not be able to succeed.
You must persist and allow your ill will, resentment, or pettiness to be worn through until you develop
good will. You must develop a steady flow of good will for yourself, your meditation techniques, and
the object of your meditation.
Appreciation Is Key
Suppose you're striving to grow through religious observances. A lackadaisical attitude toward your
practices, or toward a mantram, or a painting of Christ or Buddha, for example, will result in continual
separation from what another part of your mind and heart say they are seeking. Don't you agree, from
many observations, that people in an atmosphere of good will draw closer together? Similarly, in good will
you and your meditation practices must become closer, more comfortable and intimate.
To succeed in meditation and the higher awareness it will give you, you must become conscious,
appreciative of what you are doing. To resent your practice as if it is an intruder, to yearn for your time of
meditation to be over, or to study your meditation practice with utter boredom is to be in a state of ill will
or certainly an absence of good will. You will not succeed.
Just as ill will makes people separate and grow farther and farther apart, you can become more and more
estranged from meditation and the peace of meditation. This division creates a progressively greater
distance between yourself and the whole field of higher consciousness and a harmonious life as well.
Are You Ready?
Are you ready to contact your higher consciousness? Are you patient, thoughtful, and full of good will? In
the next two Lessons you will learn how to develop The Good Will Witness and The Universal Self.
If you have trouble experiencing either of these two states of superconsciousness within a month of
sincere practice, study the previous Lessons found here. Become an expert in the knowledge and
application of each major area. In the field of higher consciousness you must develop at your own rate.
And, every effort toward your great fulfillment will add subtle but noticeable benefits in the quality of your
daily life.
May you find success and greater fulfillment!
