There is good reason to be Heaven is a place of truth, When you cross over Lekatt © 2010 – 2020, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Integrity. The quality or state of being complete or undivided. Integrity is more than obeying the law of the land. It is holding to the spirit of that law. Doing what is right, fair and compassionate in all things. Aboard a ship, water-tight integrity is paramount. The ship is constantly being monitored for seepage of water into the bilges. If enough water seeped into the ship, it would, of course, sink. The same with people, monitor your integrity, don’t allow dishonesty to seep into your daily life, and cause your reputation to sink into ruin. Dishonesty has many faces: hypocrisy, lying, cheating, omission of truth, and failing to do the best you can. Study yourself today, the way you live, and check for any dishonesty you may be allowing to accumulate. To be known as a “person of integrity” is the highest compliment one can receive. “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” Ralph Waldo Emerson © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. When I started my web site over ten years ago skeptics were telling the world how crazy near death experiencers were in relating their “anecdotal” events in public. We were said to be having hallucinations, dreaming, taking drugs, fooling ourselves and living in delusions, and those were the nice things they said about us. A skeptic once said to me:
Today it is different. There are a dozen universities engaged in some form of research on near death experiences. This research is showing that consciousness does live after the death of the brain and body. That consciousness and brain are two separate entities. I am still telling the world about the reality of near death experiences. True, not all skeptics will be convinced, however solid the research becomes. As of now, it is very solid. There will be issues of vested interests keeping many from accepting the research results. Like most controversial issues it will take time for all to accept the reality that we are spiritual. © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. When I was in the Navy we had to check the integrity of the ship on a regular schedule. If the integrity of the ship was compromised all on board were in danger. The same is true with integrity anywhere. We are experiencing a recession right now because of a lack of integrity. Some of our business leaders decided to take unsafe chances for larger profits. The lack of ethics, honesty, truthfulness, and integrity is everywhere in our society. It’s lacking in government, business, advertising, and most other institutions. Yet it is paramount to our survival as a country. Large powerful countries are first defeated from within before they lose on the battlefields. Defeated by the greed, avarice, and excessive desires of those in powerful positions to possess material wealth far beyond their needs, while ignoring the needs of others. In a democracy we must elect those leaders that will work for the betterment of all, rather than the betterment of themselves. The same applies to the leaders of all our businesses, and institutions. Without integrity the ship is lost. Intregity begins with the individual. Each of us know right from wrong, we know what the rules are, we know how to be honest with others, and ourselves. Give full measure to others, pressed down. Practice living in truth. If you are misleading others, cheating them in any way stop it, because what you do to others you do to yourself also. We are spiritual beings, no one gets away with anything. The good we do others will be rewarded, and the harm we cause others will be repayed. What is at stake is your joy, and peace, don’t throw it away. Live in honesty, and make integity checks of your life on a regular schedule. © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. |
