He learned that negativity works as/through pain, fear, anger, self-hatred, outer violence, inner depression culminating in suicide, which is the death experience. The positive alternatives to them are joy, love, patience, self-acceptance, inner peace, outer harmony, and happiness that culminate in ascending the body.

""The measure of a person is that contribution he or she makes to his or her fellow man without expectation or want for self-interested gain."" Everyone gets to decide what ethics, morality, and integrity are to live by and share. There is only God, infinity, self-conscious awareness, and contribution, which are either positive or negative as God's left and right hands. There are those who serve themselves and there are those who serve others, like Douglas H. Melloy.
