"If I were really an important member of this global family, what would I be doing?"
EMBRACING THE WORLD LIKE A LOVER- by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
I believe that it is our nature to connect. Starting from the deepest place within our being and expanding out to our family and friends, the workplace, our community, and ultimately to our entire planet, we are naturally pulled forward to reach out and touch the entire world around us. I believe that even though our training is about competing, our Souls are about embracing. The only things that stop us are the erroneous teachings of a Society that has lost its Spirituality.
A Society lacking in Spirituality offers no lasting solutions to the problem of alienation that envelopes it. This thought can be very depressing, that is, until we ask ourselves a key question: "Who creates Society?" The answer, of course, is "We do...you and I." This reality offers us much hope. It says that you and I can take hold of the reins and begin to steer our Society out of the realm of alienation and into a place that feels more like Home.
While this sounds like an impossibly difficult task, it really isn't. All that is required is that we begin our own personal Journey inward to our Higher Self--the best of who we are. In so doing, we play a vital role in the transformation of Society at large. We can begin by asking ourselves as we move through each activity of our day and as we touch the lives of those around us:
Refering to the world "How can I be less harsh and more loving here? How can I radiate light in a world that sometimes looks very dark? How can I open my Heart and take more responsibility in healing the hurts I see around me every day of my life?"
