I don't know who created the image above. I just happened to see it on my Facebook news feed. I like it a lot as the message carries a lot of wisdom on how to ride through this change of times.
I can't change what's going on outside me. I can't change the thoughts and behaviours of haters and racists and all those corrupt politicians, for example.
But I can change my response and consciousness by asking: "What's going on inside me that perpetuate this? How did I create this on an unconscious level? In what role have I contributed to this mess the whole world is in now? What do I need to let go such that I could offer a response that is based on compassion and love instead of fear and hatred? What are the lessons that I need to learn from this? Whom do I need to forgive? What do I need to let go so that there's peace in me?"
These are examples of the questions you can ask yourself; questions that do not offer easy answers. For, the answers come, not from the intellectual and philosophical mind, but from a place of silence and meditation. They are questions that point to a change in consciousness in oneself; questions that help shift our perceptions of life, and brings us closer to understanding ourselves and our contributions to life around us. These are spiritual questions that change one's consciousness.
Ask them, meditate upon them, and wait patiently for insights to arise. The greatest gift we can offer right now to society is our willingness to go deep inside us and take full responsibility for our creations. Yes, we are the ones that is creating our reality. We are creative beings, living in a interrelated world.
Once we, one by one, acknowledge our contributions to the collective unconscious, and once we, one by one, let go of our unconscious patterns that created the mess in our world, society will change.
