What is happening outside in the world may also be happening inside you, in some fashion, taking a form you may notice or not. For you are of the world, part of the whole, and thus what the world feels you feel. So do not dismiss the doings in the world as not your own doings. Everything matters, everything is personal. At the same time, do not take everything personally but transcend the personal, knowing that everything you experience is part of the greater whole and your part in its progress is your own progress within. You are there, so it matters. And yet you are also a spiritual being who knows that nothing really matters as much as your awareness of yourself as that spiritual being. Inside and out you reflect the world, the self, the spirit in all of it. Be personally alive and active, part of the solution. It’s time. It’s not just someone else’s problem, it’s yours too. Do the work of the Self and you will do the work the whole world needs.
