Bob Marley couldn’t have been more right
when he sang that there’s “so much trouble in the world”. Our planet is
in chaos, and most people are trying their best to pretend that it’s all
normal, or that it will go away on its own.
With all of the chaos surrounding us,
you may wonder if peace is even possible. The mayhem we see in the world
can easily darken our outlook and make us think peace could never
happen. But if you’re looking for a path to inner peace, or a solution
to the world’s problems, first you have to look within.
Peace is possible because you’re here.
You hold within you the power to change the world and restore order to a
place that’s become so far lost that saving it once seemed impossible,
but simply being here or realizing you’re on a mission isn’t enough.
When you realize what you are, the real work begins.
You can make the process a lot easier by
releasing resistance and flowing with it. You’ll be glad you did,
because you’ll have a ‘new’ creative and spiritual outlet to turn to in
any moment for inspiration and the opportunity to reach out to others
that will slowly become your lifework.
Make Use of Your Power
Thanks to you and everyone else who’s
tapped into their purpose for being here (helping others and showing the
way back into a higher consciousness), this planet can be saved with the
powers of love and social/spiritual awareness.
When it comes to utilizing this innate
power for something constructive that helps others, I prefer an artful
outlet like writing or painting that brings your awareness to the inner
Self by getting you to look within for the ‘spark’ sought by most
creative minds.
For the sake of wellbeing and spiritual
growth, I recommend meditation, and some people recommend psychedelics
for the expansion of consciousness. No matter what illuminates your
sense of Oneness and helps you help others, if you pursue it, you’ll
eventually open your inner doors and peek into halls of the mind, heart
and soul.
Everything Will Be Clearer
The best part is that the more time you
spend in this space, the more it will expand and the clearer everything
will become.
The woes of the world won’t matter in
this space, because you’ll be too busy basking in the glow of a warm,
enlightened and enlivened state of being in which you’ll know without a
doubt that there’s more to life than meets the eye. With a little effort
and creativity, we can access a great deal of it from right here on
earth.
We may never fully connect with it until
this life is over and we’re free to roam the great mystery, but we can
open and expand the channel while we’re here.
Let It Flow
We’re eternal spiritual beings who
existed long before this world came into being and will exist long after
it’s gone, and we can use what little memory we have of the place we
came from to improve the world before we return home one day.
You’re the solution to the world’s
problems, as well as your own. We all are. And if you let them, the
love, creativity, and good vibes you hold within will spill over into
the world without. Let it flow, and feed the fire as much as you can.
If the flame seems to die, keep
doing all of those things that nourish the spirit with the
knowledge that it’ll eventually pay off. Most importantly: never
lose faith in yourself, because you’re here to join forces with
the inner Self to inspire a revolution unlike most before it.
Nobody seems to see that we can
change the world by coming together, by taking action, finding
common ground with each other and using our newfound unity to
take on the system.
The day we realize our true
power will be the day we finally step up together and create the
world we know we can have, and until this happens, we can only
talk, write or sing about a distant dream we hope to one day be
a reality.
