Jeder zusätzliche Beitrag, den ein Studienteilnehmer in der ersten Studieneinheit zum Gemeinwohl leistet, wird während des Experiments von anderen Studienteilnehmern verdreifacht, die direkt oder indirekt davon beeinflusst werden und deswegen mehr leisten. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen experimentell, dass sich kooperatives Verhalten in den menschlichen sozialen Netzwerken stufenförmig fortsetzt. Dr. James H.

Ich fand es sehr aufregend, zu sehen, dass sich Freundlichkeit auch auf Menschen überträgt, die man nicht kennt und
nie zuvor getroffen hat.

Menschen müssen positive Eigenschaften wie Liebe und Freundlichkeit weitergeben, damit soziale Netze auf Dauer bestehen können. Sie bilden solche kooperativen Netzwerke, weil ihr Nutzen deutlich höher ist als der Aufwand
für das hilfsbereite Verhalten.

Neun Tugenden des Geistes im 9. Buch des Neuen Testaments

Der Geist Gottes dagegen lässt als Frucht eine Fülle von Gutem wachsen, nämlich: Liebe, Freude und Frieden, Geduld, Freundlichkeit und Güte, Treue, Bescheidenheit und Selbstbeherrschung. Gegen all dies hat das Gesetz nichts einzuwenden. Galater 5, 22-23 (NT)

 

Liebt einander von Herzen als Brüder und Schwestern, und ehrt euch gegenseitig in zuvorkommender
Weise.
Römer 12, 10 (NT)

 

Wünscht denen, die euch verfolgen, Gutes. Segnet sie, anstatt sie zu verfluchen. Römer 12, 14 (NT)

 

Wenn euch jemand Unrecht tut, dann zahlt es niemals mit gleicher Münze heim. Seid darauf bedacht,
vor den Augen aller Menschen bestehen zu können. Soweit es möglich ist und auf euch ankommt,
lebt mit allen in Frieden.
Römer 12, 17-18 (NT)

 

Seid aber untereinander freundlich, herzlich und vergebet einer dem andern, gleichwie auch Gott in
Christus euch vergeben hat.
Epheser 4, 32 (NT)

 

Eure Worte seien immer freundlich, doch mit Salz gewürzt; denn ihr müsst jedem in der rechten
Weise antworten können.
Kolosser 4, 6 (NT)

 

Persönliche Bekenntnisse

  • Ann Currie: Was ist das Beste, was Ihnen Ihre Mutter je beigebracht hat?
    Barack Obama: Einfühlungsvermögen. Sie hat dafür gesorgt, dass andere die Welt durch die Augen eines anderen sehen können, in den Schuhen von anderen stehen können. Ich denke, das ist die Grundlage für freundliches Entge-
    genkommen und Mitgefühl. Fernsehinterview Barack Obama, 44. US Präsident, präsentiert von dem US-amerikanischen Fern-
    sehsender NBC, Sendung Today Show, Gastgeberin Ann Curry (*1956) US-amerikanische Journalistin, 1. April 2008

 

Empfehlungen

  • Lernt, mit Liebe und Sanftmut zu sprechen. Nicht nur zu Menschen, sondern auch zu Tieren, Blumen, Vögeln, Bäu-
    men, zur ganzen Natur, denn dies ist eine ausgezeichnete Gewohnheit. Wer inspirierende, belebende Worte zu spre-
    chen weiß, verfügt in seinem Mund über einen Zauberstab; nie wird er solche Worte vergebens sprechen, denn in der Natur ist immer eines der vier Elemente – Erde, Wasser, Luft oder Feuer – da und wartet auf den Augenblick, wo es das vom Menschen Ausgedrückte in eine Form kleiden kann. Möglicherweise geschieht die Verwirklichung weit ent-
    fernt vom 'Sämann', aber ihr solltet wissen, dass sie sich immer vollzieht. Genau wie der Wind die Samen fortträgt
    und in der Ferne sät, fliegen unsere guten Worte davon, um weit von unseren Augen entfernt wunderbare Ergebnis-
    se zu zeitigen. Habt ihr es gelernt, Gedanken und Gefühle zu beherrschen, euch in einen Zustand von Harmonie, Reinheit und Licht zu versetzen, dann erzeugen eure Worte Wellen, die segensreich auf die ganze Natur einwirken.

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may
know how to answer everyone.
1 Colossians 4, 6 (NT)

 

Personal avowals

  • The other thing that is interesting, now that I'm looking back over many years, it is
    • the exquisite gentleness,
    • this peculiar combination of qualities,
    • this Infinite Presence which is all things, is everywhere, is both the space in the room and the objects in the room. It is both the figure and the ground, simultaneously. It is also exquisitely gentle. Its touch just melts away any 'you' with its exquisite presence. Whatever there was of the individual self is melted by it, dissolved by it.
There is no violence, it is like one just dissolves. It is like one is sugar and you put it in water – one just dissolves and becomes one with All That Is. Interview with David R. Hawkins, Dialogues on Consciousness and Spirituality, transcript on "Advanced States of Consciousness", part 2, S. 23, spiral-bound, Veritas Publishing, Sedona, Arizona, 1. January 1998

  • The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant re-
    minder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.

  • To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Peace Nobel Prize laureate, 1989, Facebook comment, 23. September 2010

  • Quote from ACIM1: "This is what is meant by 'the meek shall inherit the earth.' They will literally take it over because of their strength."
    Gentleness – not brute force – is the power that ultimately will triumph. When we are tough, do we get our needs met? Or is it when we are kinder that we get our needs met? The ego says attack [...] will get us somewhere, but the Spirit knows better. Only love produces miracles.
    Marianne Williamson (*1952) US American spiritual teacher, political activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Facebook entry, 15. January 2011

 

  • There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world. There is not an act of kindness or generosity, not an act of sacrifice done, or a word of peace and gentleness spoken, not a child's prayer uttered, that does not sing hymns to God before his throne, and in the eyes of men, and be-
    fore their faces.

  • The emotions that promote the meaningful life are organized to an interest in the welfare of others. Compassion shifts the mind in ways that increase the likelihood of taking pleasure in the improved welfare of others. Awe shifts the very contents of our self-definition, away from the emphasis of personal desires and preferences and toward that which connects us to others. Neurochemicals (oxytocin) and regions of the nervous system related to these emotions promote trust and long-term devotion. We have been designed to care about things other than the gratification of desire and the maximizing of self-interest. Dacher Keltner, Ph.D. (*1962) US American professor of psychology, University of California, Berkeley, altruism researcher, director of the Greater Good Science Center, Born to Be Good. The Science of a Meaningful Life, W.W. Norton & Company, 12. January 2009

Urge to kill

  • The very emphasis of the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" makes it certain that we are descended from an endlessly long chain of generations of murderers, whose love of murder was in their blood as it is perhaps also in ours.
    Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Austrian neurologist, deep psychologist, founder of psychoanalysis, critic of religion, author, A. A.
    Brill, translator, Alfred B. Kuttner, translator, Reflections on War and Death, Moffat, Yard & Company, New York, 1918

    tax resister, development critic, poet, author, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

 

 

 

  • Kindness extended, received or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved.

Kindness enhancing effect of drugs

Under a psychologist's care in 1984 to treat PTSD stemming from an abusive relationship, at age 52

  • With MDMA [active ingredient in the drug ecstasy], you not only see your fear but trust yourself to go past it. It shows you how to be kinder to yourself, and how much you're capable of. It allows you access to a place in your mind that's compassio-
    nate
    and full of love. You might have abandoned that place, but it never abandoned you. Marcela Ot'alora, US American therapist, Colorado, cited in: Article PTSD and MDMA Therapy – Medical Uses of Ecstasy, presented by the US American monthly magazine O, The Oprah Magazine, Jessica Winter, 15. February 2011

 

  • Evolution has bequeathed humans with a sense of empathy – an ability to treat other people's interest as comparable
    to one's own. Unfortunately, by default we apply it only to a very narrow circle of friends and family. People outside
    that circle were treated as subhuman and can be exploited with impunity. But over history the circle has been ex-
    panded. […] from village to the clan to the tribe to the nation to other races to other sexes […] and other species.
    Peter Singer, Ph.D. (*1946) Australian Ira W. DeCamp professor of bioethics, Princeton University, philosopher, author,
    Expanding Circle, Plume, 1981, paperback, 1. April 1982

Literary quotes

 

  • When power becomes gracious and descends into the visible – such descent I call beauty. And there is nobody from whom I want beauty as much as from you who are powerful: let your kindness be your final self-conquest. Of
    all evil I deem you capable: therefore I want the good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who
    thought themselves good because they had no claws.
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) German classical scholar, critic of culture, philosopher of nihilism, author, Thus Spoke Zarathustra [Also sprach Zarathustra], part II, chapter 13, "Those Who Are Sublime", Ernst Schmeitzner, Chemnitz, 1883-1891

Negative statements – purporting self-interest and low values
State of war of every man against every man

 

  • The life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) English political philosopher on the social contract theory, Leviathan, chapter XIII, "Of the Natural Condition of Mankind, as concerning their Felicity, and Misery", 1651

 

Paraphrased: "Sympathy is "weak and blind" [subjective and therefore unreliable]."

 

  • For of men it may generally be affirmed, that they are thankless, fickle, false studious to avoid danger, greedy of gain, devoted to you while you are able to confer benefits upon them, and ready, as I said before, while danger is distant,
    to shed their blood, and sacrifice their property, their lives, and their children for you; but in the hour of need they turn against you.

  • Objectivist ethics, in essence, hold that man exists for his own sake, that the pursuit of his own happiness is his
    highest moral purpose, that he must not sacrifice himself to others, nor sacrifice others to himself.
    Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Russian-American philosopher, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, Atlas Shrugged, 19572

  • In the end only kindness matters
    I won't be made useless
    I won't be idle with despair

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

  • Be kind and loving to all living creatures at all times and in all their expressions – without exception, no matter what.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, source unknown

 

  • Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives, is the most powerful transformational force of all. It produces no backlash and no downside, and never leads to loss or despair. It increases one's own true power without exacting
    any toll. But to reach maximum power such kindness can permit no exceptions, nor can it be practiced with the ex-
    pectation of some selfish reward. And its effect is as far reaching as it is subtle.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Hay House, February 2002

 

  • All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving thought, word, or deed. Every forgiveness is a benefit to everyone. The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind. Karma is actually the very nature of the universe because of the innate structure and function of the universe itself. In the universe time is measured in eons. Beyond that, it does not even exist at all. Every kindness is therefore forever.
    Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, chapter 13 "Explanations", S. 268, Veritas Publishing,
    revised edition 2002

Jen science on humanity – Dacher Keltner

Indien
Classical
Indian architecture

Confucius describes rén (spoken jen) as humanity expressed in cardinal moral values. Rén means complete virtue.

  • Jen is the central idea in the teachings of Confucius, and refers to a complex mixture of kindness, humanity, and respect that transpires between people. A person of Jen brings the good things of others to completion and does not bring the bad things of others to completion. Jen is felt in that deeply satisfying moment when you bring out the goodness in others. Dacher Keltner, Ph.D.

 

  • A person of jen, Confucius observes, "wishing to establish his own character, also establishes the character of others." A person of jen "brings the good things of others to completion and does not bring the bad things of others to completion." Jen is felt in that deeply satisfying moment when you bring out the goodness in others. Dr. Dacher Keltner

 

  • Jen science […] is founded on the study of emotions such as compassion, gratitude, awe, embarrassment, and amusement, emotions that transpire between people, bringing the good in each other to completion. Dr. Dacher Keltner

  • Having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well [...] a lover and friends who support the criatura [creature] in you [...] these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to men-
    tion teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.

Forbidden fruits

 

         Why Wine Is Forbidden         

 

When the Prophet's ray of intelligence
struck the dim-witted man he was with,
the man got very happy, and talkative.
Soon he began unmannerly raving.
This is the problem with a selflessness
that comes quickly, as with wine.
If the wine drinker
has a deep gentleness in him,
he will show that, when drunk.
But if he has hidden anger and arrogance,
those appear,
and since most people do,
wine is forbidden to everyone.

2 Article Revisiting John Todd (1950-2007): "Rothschilds Rule with Druid Witches", 7. August 2013: Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) gave the plan to his mistress Ayn Rand for her novel Atlas Shrugged.
"[Ayn Rand's] writings are intellectually shallow econo-porn, part Krafft-Ebing and part Horatio Alger, possessing neither coherence nor philosophical depth. Rand’s heroes [sociopath Ragnar, rapist Francisco, rough-trade cruiser Rearden] aren’t just rapists, woman-beaters and thieves. They’re also terrorists who freely blow up or burn properties for ideological reasons." Article What Happened When Some Libertarians Went Off to Build Ayn Rand's Vision of Paradise, presented by the US American left-leaning website AlterNet, Richard Eskow, 11. September 2014
