Goodwill - The Instrument for Global Healing and Change
In the Ageless Wisdom teachings, Goodwill is seen as a dynamic and intelligent expression of love in action. It is not merely passive kindness or sentimentality but a powerful spiritual force that bridges the gap between the personality and the soul. Goodwill functions as a magnetic agent that aligns individuals, groups, and nations with the Plan of Evolution. It is the practical outworking of the will-to-good, transmitted from the spiritual hierarchy to humanity, and acts as a preparatory force for right human relations, peace, and group unity. Goodwill is the foundational energy behind all constructive service to humanity, flowing from the heart center and linking people across all boundaries.
Fulfilling the activity of goodwill involves both inner alignment and outer expression. On the inner side, it requires cultivating a soul-centered awareness, recognizing the divinity in all beings, and holding a deep commitment to selfless service. Through meditation, prayer, and study of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, individuals can contact the energy of goodwill and serve as conduits for its distribution into the world. Externally, goodwill is expressed through harmlessness, cooperation, inclusive dialogue, and actions that uplift and unify rather than divide. It requires a conscious refusal to engage in separative thinking or speech and a commitment to seeing the good in all.
Group work is a vital aspect of the expression of goodwill. One powerful method is through Triangles, groups of three people who link in thought each day to invoke light, goodwill, and distribution of these energies throughout the world using The Great Invocation. Additionally, educational efforts that foster understanding among cultures, peace-building activities, and service-oriented initiatives all provide avenues for the radiation of goodwill. Ultimately, as more individuals awaken to this soul-infused approach to life, the energy of goodwill becomes a force of spiritual cohesion, helping to anchor the divine Plan on Earth.
