Underneath the Craziness

I look at the news and my heart aches. It feels as if we are experiencing one challenge after another that are fostering a sense of instability and insecurity. But my heart doesn’t break. How can that be? It helps to look at things from a broader perspective. There was a time when we used to sacrifice our fellow human beings in order to placate the gods. Also, down through history, most people were controlled by kings, emperors, dictators, and despots. And in the political world, if we didn’t like somebody, we would simply kill or imprison them.

So, we have made progress over the eons but there still is a long way to go. As Martin Luther King once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

If you watch the unfolding of history, you will see that whenever there is a shift into a greater understanding that every single human being matters, there was always chaos. We are living in such a time. Because of the web and social media, there is hardly a voice or a perception that is not heard. As you sort through the chaos and you question what you are seeing, you can begin to hear a quiet truth that is always there underneath the craziness – the truth that every single human being, no matter what their skin color, religion, politics, gender or their sexual orientation, has value and matters. For each and every one of us is a necessary thread in the tapestry of life.

As your heart begins to hear this truth, you can see that even radical views are part of this tapestry. So rather than hating, disliking, resisting or judging, you begin to discover how to listen to people’s views even if they are diametrically opposed to yours, for it is in the act of listening that something new can be born.

Will we mature enough as a species before we desecrate the earth past the point of no return and possibly even annihilate ourselves? I don’t know. But what I do know is that you matter – not your particular views, but how you deal with this time of chaos. You can either live in reaction, which is so painful, or you can learn how to respond, acting in ways that are for the good of the whole.

At this time of upheaval and change, it is so important to realize that our world is being healed one person at a time as more and more of us move from reaction to response, which is why I am excited to share with you about two of my courses. The first one, What’s in Your Way is the Way interactive online course, is being offered again starting September 14, 2022. You will discover how to work with the challenges of your life in a way that brings healing to you and to the people around you. It is wonderful to join with people from all over the world who are interested in quieting their minds and opening their hearts, so they can be present, in a responsive and healing way, for this time of great change.

The second course Being Healed by Our Compulsions, is currently being offered in the self-paced version. It is built on the premise that our core compulsion is to struggle, and all the other compulsions are an attempt to numb out from that heartache. It also explores a revolutionary way of healing and being healed by our compulsions. It is our addiction to struggle that causes so much heartache in the world. Using compulsions to help you see how you struggle allows you to unhook from struggle itself so that no matter what is happening in your life, you become a healing presence for yourself and for the world.

So, I invite you to look at the possibility of being a part of one my courses so you can become even a more integral part of the healing of our planet!
