At the center of the Tibetian Wheel of Life Mandala they show three symbolic animals who bind people to the Cycle of Life and Death. They are a Cock, a Pig, and a Snake, and they are what keeps the world of Illusion turning.
The Cock represents Ignorance (false pride). The Pig represents Greed, and the Snake in the Grass represents deliberate Malice (Anger).
When you consider the things which go wrong in the world, they always go back to these three things. One half of all problems are caused by Ignorance : people simply didn't know any better. You can cure Ignorance with Knowledge. When people know of a better way, they are more likely to choose it.
Greed accounts of one third of what goes wrong. Yes, this is ignorance, because depriving others, so that one may gain, is not sustainable. Wisely managed, there are resources enough for all to thrive. Poverty exists solely because of Greed.
Malice and Anger are another form of ignorance. One sixth of the problems in the world are created by hate. Sometimes people hate through ignorance, and often hate is engendered by greed. Hate is a disease which feeds upon itself, doing harm to those who are hated, and also to those who hate. It can only be cured by Love.
These are things which everyone knows, at least in their Heart. So do not think you are ever alone in understanding this. Ignorance is cured by Knowledge. Greed is cured by Wisdom. Hate is cured by Love.
Now is a good time to put these Insights into practice, and remind everyone you know of these basic Truths. Demonstrate these Principles through the way you live your Life, and you will discover more and more people catching on...
The Three, Two, One Formula
I use what I call the Three, Two, One Formula as a statistical tool for analyzing the most likely causes for the problems which arise in the world. It helps to keep your mind in perspective, when you figure that 50% of problems are the result of Ignorance, 33 1/3 % are the result of Greed, and only 16 2/3 % are made by people deliberately.
Of course, there are the Conspiracy Theories which attribute 100% of the world's woes to the actions of a tiny group of insanely rich and powerful. That such people exist, there can be no doubt, and there should also be no doubt that they are writing these Conspiracy Theories themselves.
The Illuminati teachings do not tell the truth. They merely tell you what they want you to believe. They want people to fear their awesome powers, and they want to hinder any attempt by government to correct abuses by making it appear that reforms are a part of their Master Plan. They claim credit for much of which they had no part. They do not have the control over the world which they claim to possess, because such people are very jealous of power, and could never cooperate with each other on the scale they profess.
They do not have the power they claim to have. They do not even have the power they think they have. The world is going through a tremendous transition. Domination by any kind of Elite is approaching an end. Even governments are beginning to see this, and are attempting to fix abuses. Humanity is moving forward, and nothing can stop that. The time in which the public can be manipulated by Ignorance, Greed, and Fear, is phasing out, and what no longer serves, will be cast aside
After 2012 humanity will know that we are responsible for what happens in the world. It is our responsibility to be informed, rather than ignorant. We will know that greed serves no purpose, and that wealth lies in what is sustainable. There is no point in hating anyone, since it is possible for us all to live together. Realize these three insights, and act accordingly. That is what it takes to make it all happen

If you fail to recognize value within yourself, you will not see value in anything else. Then all things external will become in your mind, enemies to subjugate or destroy. This ignorance of one's own value is a sad jealousy, which leads one to a malice against all living things. It leads one to destroy and corrupt as a parasite, stealing anything one thinks one wants. This is why harm is done.
Realize that we all partake of the same Divine qualities with which the entire Universe is endowed. We are here to enjoy Life, and create Beauty. Our mandate is to tend and nurture all forms of life, and certainly not to exploit or destroy anything.
In the Language of Words one can tell lies as easily as one can tell the truth. But in the Language of Deeds, there is only Truth. The things that you do, speak of what you harbor in your Soul. There is no hiding this. What a person does, is a clear message for anyone who sees beneath the surface of things.
What we do sends a clear message to the Universe, speaking of what we see, and of what we do not. And the Universe will answer us with conditions in Life which reflect what we have said. Listen when the Universe speaks to you.
Consider the things you want, and also the things you need. If you pursue what you want to the exclusion of what you need, then you will not get what you need, and you will not enjoy what you have. This is what a person who does not recognize their Divine value, and purpose in Life, creates through their deeds, and this is why harm is done. It is not sustainable, and it deprives others of what they need.
When we only pursue the things we need, we will also get much of what we want. Moreover, this will enable others to get what they need, and all of us will flourish.

The Material World is a Realm of both Order & Chaos. There is a dynamic tension between the two, which generates obstacles. A good attitude to take towards these obstacles, is that they are here to make things interesting. With that attitude, you'll never be crushed by anything that happens, and are very likely to figure out the solution to anything that comes up.
An important Pattern I've noticed, shows when the major problems will arise. When a person drifts along through life, never questioning anything, and merely doing what they are told, and believing just what they are told to believe, then things seem to move fairly smoothly for them. BUT, such a person won't be making any Spiritual Advancement that way, since they are drifting along a negative stream.
Then, let's say that, that person notices that there is a whole lot more to Life, than they have been told, and they decide to find out what that is. It is at this point that they will stop flowing along with the negative stream, and begin to find out about the positive stream, and attempt to get into it. Guess what happens then? Muwhahahaha! I bet you've been here...
Between the positive stream, and the negative stream, there is a whole lot of turbulance. While in the negative stream, one doesn't really deal with their Karma very much at all, so it simply accumulates. But, when one decides to switch from the negative stream to the positive stream, then one becomes vulnerable to all sorts of calamities. At this point a person doesn't really know how the Universe operates, (so they don't know how to apply the Cosmic Laws properly), and suddenly they are exposed to the Momentum of everything that they had NOT been dealing with before.
So when a person first sets their feet upon The Path, they usually get creamed. I've been through it, and I've seen enough other people go through it, that I now recognize it as one of Life's Patterns. It really is quite dependable. As a matter of fact, that is what our species is going through right now on this planet. Humanity is on the verge of a Great Spiritual Awakening, and just as it is for an individual, so it is for all of us together. um... you've probably noticed.
When a person emerges from the turbulence, having learned their lessons, then they enter into the positive stream. Living in the positive stream, is where you get to be consciously creative with the things that you do. This is a great Joy, but it is not without obstacles, since there is always that dynamic tension in the Material World, generated by the fact that this is a realm of both Order & Chaos. The challenges you meet on the positive stream, may be even greater, than what you deal with in the turbulence, but they exist on a wider scale beyond your personal Ego, and the rewards for solving them are the Brightest Blessings of all.
