The world comes to you.
But also, the world also comes from you.
What?
Think of it like this - when you’re in a rush, everybody is moving to slow. Everybody is in your way.
When you just got great news, all the hard work paid off, you got that second date or got that raise, then suddenly everybody is a blessing, everyone is moving at exactly the right pace.
Plainly put - our internal world reflects our outer world.
When we feel good, the world is good.
When we feel bad, the world is bad.
Chaos breeds chaos, peace breeds peace.
Our relationship to the outer world is often our inner world.
So, if I want Liberation to come to me, I ask, how does it look and feel for Liberation to come from me?
The action doesn’t matter as much as the state with which the action is bred from. If you are in peace, then every action is a peaceful action. If you are love, every action has a chance to be a holy and loving action. If you are full of resentment and hate and anger and the idea of being overlooked, or like there isn’t enough room for them and me, then you get this - - - this current world full of war, delusion, oppression, violence, extremism.
The world comes to you. But also, the world also comes from you.
And so I ask you:
What world do you want to come to you?
What world do you want to come from you?
