The Cultural Lie

Got this from Bill Esteb:

We are indoctrinated with the false belief of DO-HAVE-BE.  That is, we believe that only of if we DO the right things in life we can be rewarded.  If we are smart enough, motivated enough to DO the correct action, we qualify ourselves to HAVE the objects of our desires.  Reap the fruit of our labors.  Then, after attaining all that we HAVE, we, at last, can BE happy.  BE at peace.  BE successful.

But no.

The universe does not work well with the DO-HAVE-BE paradigm.  No matter how logical and practical it may seem.

The spiritual truth is, in fact, BE-DO-HAVE.

Like Bill said at a Masters Circle seminar, "We are not human DO-ings.  We are human BE-ings."

Let us be.  Be happy.  Be at peace.  Let us be successful.  At the first.  At the onset.  Let us BE.

Then, automatically, without fail, we shall DO.  Our actions will be correct and in line and in flow from the essence of who we really are.  And at last, as we DO right, we shall HAVE.

To "HAVE" is the final effect.  The reward, ultimate!
