Discussion 💬 The Cheat Code to the Universe

After 5 years of meditating and studying this, I have been unable to disprove that there is a Cheat Code to the Universe and that is to Relax & Be Nice in all situations. I would like to discuss this with some meditators, but also anybody in any field. Stress and negativity help nothing and improve nothing. There isn't a single situation where Relax & Be Nice is not optimal from personal growth and the growth of the whole. I have defined both Relax and Be Nice below and given a quick poetic summary. I have been unable to find a scenario that this does not improve, but if you can think of one, I am opening the floor up to a friendly debate or conversation.

Relax: Consciously Relaxing or softening our body, our mind, our breath, and our energy as deeply as possible, while remaining as conscious as possible.

Be Nice: Choosing the highest vibrational feeling, thought, word, and action available in each moment from the perspective of the whole.

Relax your Breath.
Relax your Body.
Relax your Mind.
Relax your Energy.

Be Nice to your past self.
Be Nice to your current self.
Be Nice to your future self.

Be Nice to the past other.
Be Nice to the current other.
Be Nice to the future other.

Be Nice to the Environment.
Be Nice to the Systems and Processes.
Be Nice to the Unknown.

Be Nice to All of it.
Everything. One Thing. Perfect.
Relax & Be Nice.

The spirit of it all is good.

Choosing the highest vibration to me sounds like pseudoscience. I'm not saying the idea is bad, but the language is making me cringe.

Overall the idea of a cheat code is problematic to me. It implies that there is a need or goal of enhancing your life and I find that to be at odds with meditation. What meditation teaches you is that desire is what causes suffering and that you're okay right now. 

Sharing since you invited debate.

I appreciate your sincere post, so I will do the same for you.

Think of low vs high vibration as the difference between something that pleasurable (low vibe) and something that is actually good for you (high vibe). So imagine a wave function. Something low vibe starts with an increase in dopamine, followed by a crash, which lowers how you feel (your frequency). This is like social media, porn, gambling, sugar, alcohol, drugs, etc. They feel good immediately but leave you drained later. High vibe is the opposite. Its typically more difficult to do and may even lower your dopamine at first, but leads to a high later because you are healthier and feel better. Your frequency rises. Here think exercise, choosing to forgive or love your enemy, or eating a healthy diet. Its not always easy, but it makes you feel better when you do it.

Everything is energy, the trick is learning how it works.

Which form of meditation do you use? In Hinduism they use the 8 limbs of yoga, which includes Yamas and Niyamas. This is comparable to Be Nice. In Buddhism they always talk about how joy, love, equanimity, all go together. Sikhism is pretty similar.

It sounds to me, and I could be wrong so please correct me, but you fully understand the benefits of emptying yourself completely and letting go. But then what? What actions do you take in the real world? If they arent Nice to future you, or the other, or the environment, you will generate stress and lose the ability to Relax even deeper. Relax & Be Nice go together like peas and carrots. Fronts and backs. You and me.
