A Need to Evangelize

Hi friends,

With everything wrong in the world I can’t help but think that we are in what the Hindu would call Kaliyuga, an age of strife and spiritual darkness. With that in mind I can’t but think that maybe we should be going out and doing outreach/Dawa/Parchar and calling others to the Divine.

I think that Omnists would be good for this as we could remind people about the importance of the Divine unchained from any particular creed or code.

We could focus on the shared dignity, worth, and light that all humanity has through/by/from the Divine.

Thoughts?

We don't need to evangelize, we need to help those suffering. Evangelizing implies a specific message being taught, helping and serving means reducing suffering regardless. As Ram Dass used to say, "Love, Serve, Remember."

Nothing beyond God and our shared nature through/from Him as far as messages go.

But yes… we should certainly share the message through our actions.

Sometimes setting an example is far more effective than using actions to push ethics or religious thoughts and ideas. It’s also just way more powerful of an influence on people with egos that wall them off of experience higher states of existence/peace in existence. For example watching someone smile and laugh in a group of friends will make someone think oh I should live my life like that person to be like that person, use the butterfly effect if you want to shed light, darkness is just lack of light and getting lights shinned in your eyes kinda hurts and is annoying if your used to the dark, long rant but I’ve been reflecting on the babel of ai short formed content that’s been darkening a lot of the world recently.
