Evolved Consciousness

I've been studying Buddhism for a few years now and it continues to make more sense than Christianity. I think b/c the only expectations are to yourself; you make your like what it is, you make your next life what it will be. You do this by doing the right things or the wrong things on a daily basis.

Below are Ten Benchmarks of an Evolved Consciousness.

1. Live in ways that enable all other people to live as well...
2. Live in ways that respect the lives of others...
3. Live in ways that safeguard the intrinsic right to living... for all the things that live and grow on Earth.
4. Pursue happiness, freedom, and personal fulfillment in harmony with the integrity of nature...
5. Require that your government relate to other nations and peoples peacefully and in a spirit of cooperation...
6. Require business enterprises to accept responsibility for all their stakeholders as well as for the sustainability of their environment...
7. Require public media to provide a constant stream of reliable information on basic trends and crucial processes...
8. Make room in your life to help those less privileged than you...
9. Encourage young people and open-minded people of all ages to evolve the spirit...
10. Work with like-minded people to preserve or restore the essential balances of the environment...

How close are you getting to a becoming a better person?
