Our hearts hear the call through stillness, always. Am I open enough to listen? Are we together able to see and walk the way which is not yet visible? Faith to meet the still unknown from moment to moment. Trust in the hands we reach out to one another, and leave behind what we need to let go. To walk side by side, one heart. Wherever you are, I see beauty. 2 Reply Patjos7 years agoPatjosThank you, Ose, these words really speak deep into my heart this morning, deep into my still place. 1 Reply Anna7 years agoAnnaI can offer myself more fully to the world when i forget the exaggerated consideration of "me" as essential to the care of the world. Even when I do volunteer activities I have to let go, or the presumption of my good power can lead me to a bad place, surely not a place of peace. My care of people, of environment, has to be founded on a humble participation in a Love that is higher than me.

I can offer myself more fully to the world when i forget the exaggerated consideration of “me” as essential to the care of the world. Even when I do volunteer activities I have to let go, or the presumption of my good power can lead me to a bad place, surely not a place of peace.

A transcendent love, that brings to a deep sense of interconnection, also when I am in front of people I don’t like.

To be more kind to animals and the future of people, I eventually want to live a simple, ascetic life. I imagine myself wandering around without a car, without carrying any money except as absolutely needed, and giving any wealth I do have to environmental charities as well as charities related to world hunger and world peace. I imagine myself teaching this way of living to others, so that they, too, may live simple lives without cars and without excessive needs. I want to live like Jesus in the Gospel of Luke: like an itinerant teacher/philosopher who lives in harmony with the environment.

Many things we might find offensive may be acceptable and the social norm in other cultures. 3 Reply Deb7 years agoDebIt is mid morning and I have read each of the 22 responses to this question. Each one has insight and I am encouraged to consider and participate in each one, not simultaneously but as the day continues and appropriately. 4 Reply Susan7 years agoSusanBy picking up litter. There are many things that can be solved - not by big government nor world leaders nor international treaties - but by each one of us, doing our part to make this world a better place. If we all stopped littering, and then, if just 1/7th of the world population each picked up one piece of litter, that would be a billion pieces of litter picked up around the world.

The more people learn about them the more their cares can benefit. Topics include Yogaville pipeline issues, sustainable agriculture, unity in diversity, environmental solutions and so much more. There are hundreds of videos, which can all be shared at no cost at http://YouTube.com/Piucaprim Peace and fear not! Frank Melli 2 Reply Always Learning7 years agoAlways LearningI am doing what I can, with my current physical and monetary resources, to be fully present to my family, friends, caregivers, and community. The phrase “more fully” might imply that we are not doing enough… which might be true. Rather than asking for more, I will choose to celebrate what I am doing. Perhaps the thing I can do is to encourage others to participate, thus evening out the weight of efforts. ????????❤️???????? 4 Reply Susan7 years agoSusanIt is important to not feel guilty by feeling that we are not doing enough. But to do what we can and find peace in what we can do. It does not do us nor others any good, if we burn ourselves out. We each have the task of being caring and thus, to encourage others to be more caring, will indeed make a more caring world. I really appreciate you saying ‘I will choose to celebrate what I am doing.’ 2 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorAnd thank you for the encouragement!! 1 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorThere is always room for growth. Inside and out. In this world, cultivation of virtue and compassion never ceases. 2 Reply Patjos7 years agoPatjosThis is a hard question, as it sort of implies that I don’t do enough at the moment. But quite often I find that doing less is more. So I should keep practising my meditation as often as I am able and hope that I spend more time in silence. Keep practising my kindness and compassion as often as I remember, and that way I will become more and more trusting, peaceful and the Light of Love will shine through me more and more too. What more could we ask for? :))) 6 Reply Susan7 years agoSusanI have come to the conclusion that what this world needs is more people ‘doing less’ and meditating (and praying) more to allow the Silence of God to speak. Sometimes, we don’t need to do more because we get ourselves in the way. I agree with you, Patjos, we just need to let the ‘Light of Love’ shine through. This is a reminder for me, to just ‘let go and let God.’ 2 Reply Patjos7 years agoPatjosYeah, I soooo much get in the way :))) but even that is a good awareness to have, isn’t it? 1 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorGet used to these. Lol, I know what you mean. Some days I just don’t answer them as they imply you must be a certain way… 1 Reply Patjos7 years agoPatjosThanks, I’ll watch out for them now :))) 0 Reply Ed Schulte7 years agoEd SchulteThe world needs my care.

Together those two can co-create for the good of all. 2 Reply Ed Schulte7 years agoEd SchulteDeb I will agree ...but will add....it is the "quality" of "our participation". This is the key to balanced existence with our bodies and earth. This is the power we have always had in us.

This is the key to balanced existence with our bodies and earth. This is the power we have always had in us. There are those who want us to leave earth….but no human can leave the Psycho-Noetic body of earth any more then leave our own P-N body. And retreating into caves won’t work either. It is the Quality of our thoughts and desires ( and don’t worry if the quality is present then the Holy Spirit will UP the Quantity ) which will, in-turn , assist the Archangels of the Elements to maintain Environmental balance. And they will be very Happy we are working with them! This, among other, is a very good visualization we can all do, anytime, anywhere. Be Well Be Present EdS Read More0 Reply Susan7 years agoSusanVery profound answer. Sometimes, or more often than not, we get ourselves in the way. However we want to call this ‘Being’ or ‘Intelligences’ that is beyond ourselves, I do believe that it is indeed being aware of that Presence that can bring Peace. . 3 Reply Ed Schulte7 years agoEd SchulteSusan I wouldn't say that these "Intelligences" are beyond ourselves ...ultimately we are.....

BY not being so self centered but being more conscious and fully aware of others around me and what they are going through. 5 Reply Antoinette7 years agoAntoinetteI offer myself more fully when I take life and my storyline less seriously. In other words lighten up and look for gratitude. 5 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorI like it.
