Thank you @Maxigan, what you have said resonates with me. The quote "as above so below" is something that comes up for me. The work you do on yourself will resonate out into the world. Once you become aware or the habits, thought patterns that you do not agree with or that are your shadow you can integrate them. You can let them exist still try to understand and accept without judgement but don't give them any more of you power. Liberate yourself from your enslavement to your shadow. If we can do this for ourselves then we can do it for our society. Appreciation is something I try to practice everyday. Everybody wants to end the needless suffering and bring forth compassion, joy, bliss, and these other emotions. We can all start creating from our heart, this world is so ridiculously already abundant and has so much potential. The information is available now, and more and more people seem ready. We need focus and community but the future of peace, wholeness, love, self ownership, light, etc. is within our grasp for sure... All is one.
