There are many ways of conveying the same principle. For example…

Matthew 12:30 Whoever is not with me is against me and whoever does not gather with me, scatters.

One should invest their time and energy for a return and stop spending it on things that have no value and detract from the quality of living.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can only be transformed. It can be USED to maintain, build or to destroy but, it IS always transforming through purpose.

We can leave this world better than when we arrived for our progeny or we can strip this world of its promise of a better future for them.

You can lift others and help them succeed or demean their efforts and humble them to your own detriment.

You can cooperate in a groups efforts or spread dissension that drains their patience towards you.

Master your efforts to supply your needs instead of taking from others.

Do that to others that you would have them do to you and never detract from anyone to see that it does not come back on you.

Plant a seed and reap a harvest that is multiplied greatly.

Imagine better and work from that end.

Its better to be like a generator than to be like a battery. It’s even better to use both together wisely.

Do things in such a way that others see and want to do the same.

Do not have regrets, let the old self die in peace and continue to recognize the greatness that is already within you, in the act of awakening.

Do not resist evil, dwell on your divine potential shining in its glory. Is not Man the son of God and creator of his worlds?

Collect the energy of resonance and do not dampen it out, but gather it for later use. Potential is multiplied when not met with resistance. “Cooperation” in the design allows for a greater coefficient of power.

Synergy rather than entropy.

It is easy enough to move from one state of being to another. Observe your thinking and make it serve yourself and others equally without prejudice, and all the issues that you have struggled with in the past, will fall away.

…All these things have a common theme that takes a child into adulthood and brings that one unto the best version of themselves and eventually leads to the understanding that we are already Divinity.

It is never too late to gather our consciousness towards that Oneness. And, to think that this is only one principle. Does this not make you hunger for more and want to try to find more hidden pearls of wisdom seen from this perspective?
