I wish to present some thoughts on Goodwill /will to good for a number of reasons. Firstly spirit has been giving me a firm nudge to revisit this topic. Secondly I believe the use of Goodwill is one way we can move forward in these times of change . Thirdly as many of you will know Janet Mentgen was my teacher, mentor and friend and she shared some of her thoughts on Goodwill with me and I would like to pass them onto you. She would often give me projects and these involved researching concepts. One fine day Goodwill was the topic she set me to research, this was interestingly a time of challenge for me. I grumbled a little and then got on with the task and found it most fascinating. Alice Bailey and Torkum Saraydarian have both written extensively on the topic.
Goodwill is will power directed to God, to the good of all. In other words it is love in action. When Goodwill is present in a person it creates contact between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual vehicles and the person’s real core. To quote Torkum Saraydarian ‘ Goodwill creates total integrity within you, because will power is the divinity within your heart’ and ‘Goodwill is a process by which we flow into the ocean of love, into the ocean of the Great Presence within all’.
Some of the benefits of Goodwill are: - Goodwill heals the body
- Goodwill purifies the emotions and creates integrity and health in the emotional body
- Goodwill purifies and energises the mental body
- Goodwill builds communication lines between all of the bodies and the Central Core
- The energy of Goodwill works for the health and survival of the planet
- Goodwill creates equilibrium and balance
It also occurred to me that Goodwill toward oneself is vital. To dwell on mistakes or incorrect action will block the flow of Goodwill toward others and create separateness and disunity within yourself and your relationships. It is important to release goodness every time you feel its presence, within you, regardless of the actions of others. After my research and when I was with Janet on my next trip to the US, I was sharing some of these 'discoveries' with Janet. It just happened to be in an ice cream parlour (one of Janet’s favourite activities was eating ice cream). She shared some of her thoughts with me , it was important to write down her words of wisdom at the time they were shared.
Janet shared that for her Goodwill is one of the secret keys to human happiness, joy, understanding and health. It is the true expression of humanity and the divinity within. Goodwill has the potential to disperse illusion, separateness and disunity. Having Goodwill does not mean one can be exploited or manipulated. It does not mean that you serve or participate in the hatred, vices or illusions of others. It is important to wish good for all even for those who do not live to our own standards. All beings recognise Goodwill from the trees to the your enemies, the language can be understood. The release and expression of Goodwill creates joy as there is healing and elimination of inertia, glamour and illusion.
There are three ways to foster Goodwill: - Be in contact with your innermost self through meditation and prayer
- Remember that everyone is travelling toward the central core of Love, Intelligence and Will to Good
- Recognise the presence of God in all beings
Finally it is my belief that Goodwill will disperse the illusion of separateness and bring health, joy and understanding. Our healing work is an opportunity to spread Goodwill, which we must not lose. We can continue to increase the joy and health of others as well as the organisation and ourselves.
In closing a blessing for you :
Peace be in your heart
Humility in your mind
Strength in your body
Light in your soul
Goodwill in your heart
That you may live on the physical plane to perfectly carry out your soul’s work.
