How to Use Your Online Messaging To Help People:

Rules of Engagement

 

 

I. All online interactions must be positive.

II. If you say something positive and someone doesn’t kill themselves because you put a thought in their head that prevented it, the net result is the same as if you had saved them in combat. Not all fights are physical.

III. We can win all fights.

IV. Consistency and Intensity are our greatest weapons against the darkness. Use intensity to override decades of negative thinking in the individual and the community. Use consistency to the point where positive thoughts and visualization become the normal collective conscious and unconscious behavior. Wake up every day and do it. You don’t know how much time you have in this world. There is no time to waste. Think of all the people’s voices who were silenced too soon, you have a duty to speak for them.

V. There is no end date to this operation, this is what we do. This is who we are.

VI. If people tell you that you are too intense or passionate it means that they are trying to stay in their comfort zone. Comfort zones kill. There are countless people who are being let down every day by the status quo, often with permanent repercussions. This is about helping those who will not speak for themselves, not helping people stay comfortable and spoon feeding them change as they deem it convenient. Be intense. By harnessing our collective passion we can solve problems that have only been admired for decades.

VII. Do not ever let anyone stifle your passion for helping other people.

VIII. Remember that if someone comes to you with negativity, you are almost always looking at an unenlightened person who needs help, however that moment may not be the time to begin work. Sometimes you need to exclude someone so they can suffer the consequence of spreading negativity. Some lessons can only be taught by seeing the negative result of a choice by the individual. If they learn and modify their behavior, then work towards progress can begin.

IX. Ignore everyone else’s opinion of you. If you are acting in the best interests of the community and those in need, then you are doing the right thing. Ad hominem is the crutch of the simple-minded. Do not waste time bickering with people who likely want to see you fail out of jealousy. One crab will escape a boiling pot of water, two crabs will pull each other down until they both die. You will not fall for this. All people are equal. You work for the collective, not one person or any one group.

X. If you have stopped yourself from saying or posting something because you thought it might lead to embarrassment just say or post it anyway. It may help someone. Not only should you not be concerned, at all, with what other people think of you but the truth is most people will never notice or care what you post. It might help someone out there, however. That is what is important.

XI. Under the rarest of circumstances there are those who are so malevolent that they cannot be brought to the light through love. However, this situation is beyond the scope of this operation. That is a situation that people like soldiers take care of to protect those who cannot protect themselves using means that the civilian population should not use to solve problems under all but the most dire of circumstances. That is not our mission. Our mission is to provide a service that others cannot provide as well as we can. We honor the warfighter, but we have an important, different mission.

XII. Remember that if you tear the scar tissue of someone’s heart so that they can heal and learn to love again, they will lash out at you due to the pain. It is not their fault. Others would ignore this problem and let them live a life with a heart so scarred it cannot feel love. You will not do that. However, the pain will probably cause them to lash out, and you will be strong enough to endure this with love. They need you to be a leader, whether they know it or not. And you will be. Remember that a critical part of leadership is doing the right thing for those you love when they hate you.

XIII. It is better to be blunt with someone so you can prevent them from drowning than it is to be polite and just let them die.

XIV: Make yourself strong enough so that you can endure and thrive if the sun blows up or the Earth freezes over tomorrow. Then telling and hearing harsh truths will not be an issue for you no matter how many people you have to help.

XV: When the airplane you are in is going down you put your oxygen mask before you put on the child’s next to you. Remember that you must remain in balance and take care of yourself so you can best help the others. If you do not do this you will fail them and yourself. We are not meant to be martyrs. If you consider yourself valiant for helping others while letting your own mental and emotional health decline as a result then you must reexamine your own ego. That is not what the people need. They need you at 200%, not someone who wants to view themselves as a martyr more than they want to work on themselves so they can best help the community.

XVI: So get to 200% while you help the others.

XVII: You will never know how many people you have helped. You will never know how many people have helped you. This is part of the beauty of the Grand Design.

XVIII: When you get to a certain level you will no longer need thanks or acknowledgment to do the right thing because you have gotten it so often for so long. At first, they will think you are in it for your ego, then they will start to wonder if you are virtuous, then they will follow what you are doing and the world will become brighter by an exponent. The more people who do this the greater the positive impact on our world. The more positive things you put on the internet the longer that impact will last.

XIX: Go as hard as you can for as long as you can. If you get tired, take a break, then get right back at it.

XX: You never know when you will die or when it will be the last time you speak to someone. Make sure your words are positive and echo when that person is alone and in need.

XXI: If you are helping others for your own ego alone, you will fail. The people are very good at figuring this out quickly. Remember that, effectively, those people you know who do not interact with you online are watching everything you do when they are on their phones at night. This is why you are using this avenue to inject positive thought into their world.

XXII: Most of them will not realize that you are watching them as well.

XXIII: You can’t see God. You can’t see “the internet”. You probably can’t see Hawaii from where you are. Simply because you cannot see something does not mean it is not real or doesn’t have power. You must know that things you cannot see will be helping you in your mission. We are all one. We are all connected. The brighter you shine the more the others will light up. And soon they will shine as well. Maybe you help them today, maybe they help you tomorrow.

XXIV: The greatest honor you will have is hearing your words come out, verbatim, from someone else’s mouth and they either think they came up with it on their own or have convinced themselves that it was their idea to begin with. You put the positive thought in their mind, and it grew legs. Now go do it again with more people.

XXV: If you put letters together and create meaning you can “spell”. You are “spelling”. Casting a “spell”. Ancient people understood far better than modern people the power of words. You are performing magic with your words because you are making what is in your mind real and it is having a powerful effect on others. Remember the first rule always. If you cannot speak positivity into this world, then stop speaking.

XXVI: The pen is mightier than the sword. The keyboard is mightier than both. The Word is the mightiest of all.

XXVII: The final part of all healing is helping others overcome what you have overcome. We must revel in our Blessed work and we must appreciate the Glory of the Grand Design. The way of the Sage is work without effort.

Fight for Them, Lions.

Fight Forever.
