Simple lesson but powerful truth that when apply to our daily lives becomes part of our life style. Salvation is in the life, the life we live or choose to live. This simple lesson is the key for the salvation of all the Third World problems. The key to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and human diseases in the world, yes I say diseases because eighty percent of the world known diseases are the direct result of poverty and lack. This simple lesson found in the teachings of Jesus Christ holds the key to change the human condition in the Third world.When I look at the Third World countries, they all have one thing in common, there is one communality that makes them all the same, they all have one common problem; it is the people. It is the people that make them all the same, not the countries. There is a lack of respect and reverence for their fellow human beings that is part of their inner disposition. It is part of their lives and readily accepted as a mean to separate, to elevate and give status. One gains merit by forcefully placing oneself above others; they don’t treat others as they would like to be treated. This frame of mind is in the thoughts, the mode of life they live. The flip side of this it is a true reflection of their true identity. They see their possessions as an extension of themselves, as things that give them the right to lord themselves over others. The inherent rights that are God given to all are override by rights given by their possessions. they have yet to learn their true identity as a human being. They constantly compete to elevate themselves above their fellow human beings, consuming the fruit of better than in the process, giving entrance to the devil to operate in their lives. Here is something that you did not know about consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is in fact to use one’s position in life to step on others, use one’s knowledge of better than to separate oneself from others, to elevate oneself above others.
Consider the world to be a school of learning and that the people of the Third world are in a classroom. Their countries are classrooms waiting to learn this simple lesson from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Hence they learn this simple lesson, making it part of their daily lives, they will be graduated to a higher level of learning. This is their ticket out of poverty, hunger and diseases to an accelerate life of success and prosperity.
Whose father will withhold good things from his children until they learn obedience and able to emulate his ways, until they become a true reflection of their father. Then the father will not withhold any good things from them if they know their true identity and treat each other accordingly, God will release them from their present condition, elevate them to a higher level
Right identity is the solution for all of the Third World problems. The people need to learn this simple lesson from Christ. “Do unto others as you would like others do unto you”. They need to know that we are all children of the most High God. There is a certain reverence that comes with this knowing and that has to become part of their routine. If we start looking at countries of the world as classrooms and the world as an institution of learning, we will begin to see the need to learn the lessons; accustom ourselves with the teachings of Christ, learn them and make them parts of our lives.
Salvation from poverty, hunger and diseases is in the life we live; let us make these teachings parts of our lives. If you don’t believe that the Third World countries are classrooms or levels of awareness take a look at countries like Haiti, Nigeria, and Ghana. Learn their customs, get familiar with them, get close to them, see the way the people live, watch their movies, learn from them, see the communality in their way of life. The people have no respect and no reverence for their fellow human beings. To be powerful for them is to step on the weak, the poor, use them as step stools to stand on.

Just as the teachings of Don Juan in Carlos castaneda novels says that the way to power is in the life style. The lessons of Christ or Don Juan are not banal metaphors and parables; they are gate way to the spirit. It is the spirit that gives power. There is a certain way that you carry yourself that ensure you a pathway to the spirit.
Note: the flip side of treating others beneath ourselves is in the fact that we do not know our own identity. If we know who we are, we would know that we are of God, children of the most High God; had we known that we are all God’s children, would not accept others mistreatments nor would we mistreat others. I personally think that the next Global Initiative will be to make people aware that the world is an institution of learning and that the countries of the world are classrooms with different levels of awareness. How we graduate and move on to higher levels depends on how fast we learn the lessons of life, of man, of nature and of God. Check some of the lessons found in the teachings of Jesus Christ: turning the other cheek= seek alternative to resolve conflicts, avoid heads on collision, do unto others as you would like others do unto you = treat others as yourself, take up your cross = embrace your humanity, embrace the shortcomings and weaknesses of your fellow human beings, deny yourself= stop consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil or better than, put yourselves above others, forgive one another, be the good Samaritan, that is to give to the needy, they are not just simple lessons, but levels of awareness.
