OUT OF THE MUD IS BORN THE LOTUS: SEED AND HARVEST
HELM is a tried, tested, and proven holistic health life management system with an optional spiritual component. HELM believes in transforming the individual whilst also transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should also happen within.
The end of confusion is born when we realise that this world is a soul school and all souls here, whether we know it or not, are gradually working through the generic ignorance that is a natural and normal part of our growth and development. All souls are here as part of our education and purification process.
With this knowledge we learn not to expect heaven on Earth. We learn to expect imperfect souls working their way through ignorance. Why? Because we have been given the gift of free will - choice - and on the other side of ignorance is enlightenment. The actual working through the ignorance is the educational journey that shows us the reasons why we should choose goodness over badness in every area of life. In this world, each soul is given the golden gift of choice, of freewill, and this world is a playground in which developing souls can learn how to use this golden gift.
In the field of ignorance of our heart and mind is hidden the harvest of LoveWisdomGoodnessPeace - enlightenment. By finding and watering the seeds of virtue and holistic health we will begin to harvest a life of LoveWisdomGoodness, Peace, and Enlightenment.
The spiritually correct way to live is with reverence to life, nature (the source and maintainer of life on Earth), and - if you are at all spiritually minded - to God. Reverence for life is an attitude that we nurture in which we consider and treat life with profound awe, care, respect, wisdom, and love. To live life with reverence involves taking time to learn about how the human experience works, how life on Earth works (ecology), and how we can co-operate with it all and help all Life on Earth to flourish. Reverence and LoveWidomGoodnessPeace are the correct attitudes that we nurture and they become the way in which we relate to ourselves, others, and the environment. Reverence and love for life and God is the spiritually correct way for us to live.
Here we are learning to live in trust and faith in life and Spirit knowing that we are currently an embodied entity that abides in the heart center and the body, heart, and mind are our tools to learn and enjoy the human experience in this life and in future lives. The life of the soul does not end when this current human experience expires.
INTRODUCING TRANSCENDENT CONSIDERATIONS
The deepest level of identity - the True Self - is the Unity of the Totality of All. This Totality has been called many things by people, The Tao, Buddha, God, Self, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, etc.. yet a noun is never the thing itself, it is just a convenient label given by people.
It is supremely important to understand that our identity IS NOT the physical human body. Whatever our beliefs are, it is important to realise that, whatever we think we are - be that a part of Life, a soul, the Universe, God, Buddha etc.. - the experiencer of the physical body IS NOT the physical body. The experiencer is something that was in existence before this current physical body and it will be in existence when this current physical body is dust. With transcendent consideration we begin to learn that, whatever we are, we are not restricted to the lifespan of the individual physical body.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR HOLISTIC AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
- Understanding the difference between good and bad behaviour and learning how to be good. Bad behaviour disturbs our conscience (even if we think we haven't got one) and leads to disturbing consequences that we have to deal with. Bad behaviour is thus an obstacle in the way of our development.
- Understanding the affect upon us of the three influences of nature: Dullness (tamas), Excitement (rajas), and BalanceHealthGoodness (sattva). We can master our interaction with these three influences and thus control our experiences of them. To create and maintain a lifestyle of BalanceHealthGoodness (sattva) is essential for our successful development.
- Inside each human body is a non-physical entity - an individual - that some call "the soul". Realise that you are not the temporary physical body. This is a crucial spiritual realisation that releases us from a great deal of suffering that is brought about by mis-identification with the temporary physical body. Love, respect, and care for your physical body as it is a requirement for embodied experiences of education, enjoyment, and evolution.
- Understand that "The Law of Karma" - action and reaction (consequence) - is a deep spiritual law that governs all souls. The consequences of our actions have to dealt with in this and future lives. There are higher spiritual souls that are governing bodies that deal with karma of all souls and they have the power to forgive and remove negative consequenes if it is in the interests of the development of the soul.
- Learn to be harmless and non-violent in all areas of life (each chakra). This accelerates the establishment of the soul in the mode of goodness (sattva) that is essential for successful holistic and spiritual growth and understanding.
- Learn to become self-aware, to know yourself. Self-Knowledge releases us from reflex reactions to life and allows us to respond with intelligence, sensitivity to the situation, and maturity. This develops into wisdom. Dedicate yourself to understand yourself - your mind, emotions, preferences of desire and aversion, temperament, attitudes, and personality. Acknowledge and understand your more negative qualities and dedicate youself to overcoming them. The HELM website is designed for the purpose of gaining self-understanding.
- Do not become a materialist - a person that seeks fulfillment, satisfaction, and happiness in material thing only. Learn to find and enjoy non-material satisfactions like good behaviour, virtue, benevolence, helping others, helping life, appreciation, gratitude, skills, self-mastery, and prayer.
- Be a benevolent helper of life. Don't be selfish nor greedy and, if you can, give either time or money to registered charities that do good work in the world.
We learn to take good care of ourselves, grounded, centered, humbly learning from everthing, and steadily becoming wise and good. We learn the importance of treating all life with love and respect - including ourselves as simply another manifestation of the One Great Living Entity that some call God, Buddha, Allah, The Tao, the One.
Day by day we learn how to overcome negative and harmful thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. We steadily become a good and useful person by respecting ourselves and others, identifying with the soul in the heart center, and training the mind and heart and chi in; virtue, holistic health, wisdom, and life-affirming skills.
We are just humble student souls who are learning the correct way to live. The way that brings health and happiness to all.
The Situation of The Soul in the world
There are three main purposes of embodied life on Planet Earth (not the only world available for soul habitation):
- Education: Learning and conscious self-mastery
- Enjoyment: Not just the experiences of sensual pleasure, but also wise and loving service to others and to life in general
- Enlightenment: One of the many possible experiences available here on Earth
Spiritually speaking, soul education involves conscious self-mastery, the ability to understand how to live fully, happily, and peacefully, and how to help improve the world situation for all. The first questions we must ask ourselves are "Am I in control of myself?", "Do I understand myself?", "Am I living a conscious and aware life?", "How can I go about solving the aforementioned problems?" These questions can quickly be answered by studying and understanding "The Seven Center (chakra) Model of Human Experience." Fortunately, that is the very purpose of The HELM website! So you have arrived at the very place to begin to understand yourself, the human experience, and the spiritual reality of Life, The Universe, and Everything!
The world situation
Anybody who advocates violence is colluding with the egocentric violent global elite whose aim - driven by the generic inner ignorance - is to violently and repressively control the world. More violence is not the solution, it is part of the problem - generic human ignorance.
The only way to oppose this "force of ignorance" is by non-violent non-cooperation with it and by educating ourselves in its opposite - Love, Wisdom, Goodness, mutually beneficial co-operation, and Peace.
"As within, so without." Each one of us has within us both the seeds of ignorance and the seeds of LoveWisdomGoodnessPeace. The world situation is reflection of the inner situation of each individual as the human experience is the collective expression of all the individuals - us.
It is the goal of HELM to guide us to understand and overcome our inner ignorance and discover and nurture our seeds of LoveWisdomGoodnessPeace and healthy cooperation with life for the health and holistic well-being of all Life on Earth, all people, all species, and the interdependent ecological system that we depend upon for our worldly existence.
It is the duty of each adult to take responsibility for our spiritual life - the health and wellbeing of our soul. This work can be started by working through the HELM Study Guide.

ESSENCE OF SPIRITUALITY
We are a growing, discovering, learning, evolving soul, not limited to the lifespan of a physical body. The entire manifest Universe of variety, diversity, and multiplicity - including all souls - is intelligently and lovingly created by the One Totality of All Existence (God, Tao, Buddha) that is ultimately the true identity of all souls.
To all souls currently having this human experience on Planet Earth...
"Your LoveWisdomGoodness is needed and required for the world to work properly. The world will not work properly until all souls discover and express the LoveWisdomGoodness in our heart and mind. There is no moving on to better or different experiences until we learn to live the human experience properly - in the mode of LoveWisdomGoodness."
This is the spiritual duty and work of each soul. You can achieve this by following the HELM Study Guide.
