In this episode, I take a look at what is going on in the world and share what I see as the problems within each of us that are contributing to the problems in the world. I suggest that if we learn to find peace within ourselves, we can contribute to creating peace in the world.
Highlights
- Our combined emotions can affect our environment, including the weather because our emotions also affect our behaviors.
- When we forget that we are all part of one humanity, we cause destruction in our lives.
- There’s so much going on that, for the general population, there are feelings of powerlessness.
- We have lost control of our lives because those who were supposed to take care of us are busy taking care of themselves.
- People aren’t taught the coping skills that people need to deal with what’s going on at this point.
- People need a sense of connection and togetherness, which often happens when dealing with the aftermath of a tragedy, such as a tornado.
- When you are a small child, is not unusual for adults to squash your self-expression and try to get you to think and behave the way they want you to.
- How can we form a functional society when those in charge often choose a group of people to classify as the outsiders, such as being done now with the transgender community?
- Being angry and hateful and controlling doesn’t make for a functioning society.
- What’s going on among people is just as chaotic as what’s going on with the weather.
- Ask yourself, do I want to be the person that I really want to be? Are you willing to figure out how to do that? Do you want to be an angry person and contribute to the chaos?
- The chaos is coming from us, not from externals like the weather, and it’s a matter of learning how to deal with what’s going on so we can change the energy that we're living in now.
- I can’t be free If you’re telling me how to live.
- Enough people have learned to find the peace within themselves, that if we join together, we can counteract some of the conflicting energy that exists now and help to bring forth peace.
- If we all learn how to be peaceful within ourselves and with each other, it’s going to lead to a better world.
- You have the power to decide who you want and how you want to feel, and with whom you want to interact.
- Do you want to be part of the solution or part of the problem? Deciding to stay angry perpetrates the problem.
