levels of consciousness and rate of happiness. You see if happiness was in the world, then we would see a correlation. But here, what we see is that the level of consciousness is related to the rate of happiness. If the number of people who are calibrated at 30, uh, what percent are happy? 4%. So, the rate of happiness is related to the level of consciousness. Below 200, the rate of happiness is, you know, it's so small. As we move up, can you, I don't know if you can see this pointer, it doesn't seem to do much pointing, but anyway, as you move up the level of consciousness, you see the percent of people who are happy, uh, becomes, uh, eventually, uh, predominant. If you're courageous, if you're in neutral, neutral is a nice place to be, uh, neutral at 250, it's okay if you get it, get the job, and it's okay if you don't. Willingness is more positive acceptance, and then you're dominated by reason, and eventually, you reach a state.

of lovingness, and this is a possible state for all of us within the world. Peace, joy, and enlightenment are not necessarily available to everyone, but lovingness, which is really an inner decision at consciousness level 500. The percent of people who reach 500 that are happy are about 90%. This is probably the most important decision to make, is lovingness. Okay, this is within your capacity to make a decision. You don't have to go away to school, you don't have to study it, you don't have to hear a lecture on it. There's a decision within yourself to be loving towards all of life, no matter what. The fact that you don't understand it doesn't get you off the hook. The decision to be loving, lovingness towards all of life and all of its expressions. So, as you walk along, you see a bug on the sidewalk. Now, most of the people in this room will walk over the bug. The people that were just let out of jail half an hour ago will stamp on the bug.

that's a huge difference whether you stamp on the bug or you wish the bug a happy life and walk over it. So, I want everybody here to pledge no more bug stomping after this lecture. When you see a little bug on a sidewalk, you say, Oh, little bug, I'm glad that you're around, created by God, the universe is created by Divinity, and Divinity is now expressing itself as a bug on the sidewalk. Whose little life is up to you? His whole life is up to you, your life, his life is up to you. What kind of a human being you have become? To become as loving as we can be towards everyone, to be loving means that you tend to become forgiving. It means that you try to see everything as the other person sees it. I can see that, I can understand why they're that way, because they were brought up in a certain way. And the willingness to forgive. I remember after World War II, you know, here the Japanese were shooting us down, here was out in

the South Pacific. As soon as the war is over, we forgave each other like that. Forgave each other, isn't
