When Empedocles said that ""The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere", it was a true description of the nature of existence itself and how we as tenants of this existence affect one another.

It is no mistake that the vast and endless human endeavor to explain the nature of existence has in one form or another always fallen to the fabric of tapestry of the Great Spirit! Even when some of the searches have seemed to fall within those restrictive and strictly empirical boundaries there always remain unanswered postulates that expand beyond the sense and the reason of the logic of the universe. This is where the Socratic tendencies of Empedocles and others like him fall onto the reason of the spirit instead of the reason of the rule.

You see, the great circle of life that is frequently depicted as encircling the boundaries of all of existence are attenuated by the creative energies of thought and spiritual construct, and one of the main forces that steers the actions of this energy is the force of a sense of the loving positive creation of life itself!

Yes, negativity can feed and alter the course of anyone's footsteps just as any other manner of thought and action, but the force and the power of a positive and loving sense of the action of the self cannot be matched and it cannot ever be swayed no matter what the motive or force!

There was a philosopher who once stated something to the effect that people and the movement of the trends of the world may seek to alter and take whatever they can from others, but the boundary that guards the contents of the spirit and the soul cannot ever be taken by force from anyone. This is a region of the form of existence that is manifest and construct for everyone by the benefit of the love of God for each soul.

When someone, anyone purposefully exists and lives within and throughout a true state of a positive creation of the self, they not only flex the spiritual muscle that guards and creates a positive construct of being for the self, they also affect others around them by the same force of self-creation!

Each person has the benefit and the right to create whatever of life and to take any action they may throughout the moment of their lifetime. Within this manner of being is also contained the senses by which we view and yes, also feel the ways of others and from all of these senses we as living soulful beings construct our own existence.

Sometimes people tend to become attracted by the darker negative aspects of being right up to all of the resultant effects it tends to bring with it. This is usually when the individual soul starts to really think about what has come of all of their choices and their actions up to such a point in their lives. People also however are attracted by and can manifest the positive that is around them and they also repeat and extrude these positive effects of themselves onto the lives of others in the same way!

Can anyone recall a time in your life when you witnessed and truly admired someone else you crossed paths with who was so positive and so determined with this sense of a positive loving nature that the only thing you could think of after the interaction was a true desire to re-create this way of be-ing in your own life?

Of course you can, we all can recall such an effect!

This is the loving, positive presence of the Great Spirit in someone!

You doubt this?

Ok, and then think of the last time you encountered or witnessed in a close proximity the presence of someone who was truly a dark soul. Not some comic or histrionic figure trying to make some point out of life, but someone who really did seem so dark about themselves that they affected others in a truly chaotic way simply by being nearby. What was your reaction? Did you seem drawn toward this soul? Were you filled with the desire to repeat this in your own life as a way of being?

Most would say an emphatic "NO" to this question!

This author's experience working with and experiencing life amongst others has left an indelible impression that people as a whole are not bad, they are not negative, and they are not evil! People as a whole are good and bright and soulfully brilliant right down to the very core of their existence! Life itself has the tendency to provide dents in the armor of their existence and sometimes this comes through as dark.

The same sense of an innate positive self is what is both drawn to and seeks the best for life and existence. It is the same force that wishes for the best for others and for the world as a whole.

What is sometimes forgotten is that we also affect and direct the world around us as well as ourselves and in this we also transcend the barriers of being by affecting others with our sense of negativity and a sense of a positive self!

When you are positive, you affect others with your positivity! You multiply this positivity as a construct of your being onto others construct of being because people as a whole would much rather exist within a cloud of positivity than within a dark negative cloud of chaos.

Need any proof of this to truly believe it?

Try being outwardly positive throughout your days and watch the effects it has on others around you!

It won't take long for you to see just how innate and true a sense of positivity is for people and how true it is that this "positivity" is a spiritual state of being that was always meant to be for us all!

Think about it...
