To replace all negative attitudes towards the existing world by a feeling of confidence and love towards the new world which is being born, towards the still unborn child that is the future of mankind. To arouse in oneself constantly this love of the future of humanity. Every time one observes in oneself some kind of negative attitude, take this as a reminder that we human beings live on this earth in order to serve, particularly to serve the future.  And to serve with love, with hope, with confidence, that it is possible for mankind to be born again. Such a positive attitude should enter our behaviour, into our speech. But for this to have some force, we have to deprive something else, that is, we acknowledge one really can work against negativity. To take away energy, which at present flows into negative thought, postures and feelings, and form them to the other. This is a very hard thing that I am proposing to you, because in all of us negative habits are so ingrained. In the very midst of feeling compassion, one finds oneself finding fault, judging. This is a disease that overcome mankind, and we are all infected by it. Some very lucky people have escaped this disease, they have some lucky immunity from it. It is very fortunate to know such people. It is an extra-ordinary thing to see such rare, healthy souls, in the midst of so much that is diseased and distorted. Very few of those have this robust love towards their enemies, but some have, and all of us can have this. It is a technical matter. It is not a matter of thinking "it would be nice to be like that". It is a matter of knowing how to bring oneself to that place where our attitudes are under our own control, where it is possible for us to say THIS, and not THAT.
