Can we heal ourselves from the in- side out and, in so doing, create a world where we are contributing something good? As human beings, are we going to lift the collective consciousness to the point where we are aware of and ac- tively moving forward to heal the Earth?
What do you think that people can incorporate into their daily routine in order to lead more fulfilling lives?
Meditation is vital if you want to see the world in real time and be awake enough to make good choices, live calmly, stay healthy and maintain the clarity needed to focus on the task in front of you. You can only realize a state of higher con- sciousness with a still mind.
When you routinely walk around exuding inner happiness, you become what I call very sticky and attractive. Good givers of good will and hard work and service become very successful. The road to enlightenment is paved with rich results. As you give, as you become more enlightened, you become more empowered. Things fall in your lap. Yet, as you become more attractive and sticky, things you thought you wanted become less valuable, until they mean nothing.
Many are rightly alarmed at how humans are degrading our planet. What actions must we take now to pass along a livable
world to our grandchildren? The first thing we have to do is stop eating animals, including sea crea- tures. This is a great cause of many environmental ills currently destroy- ing the planet. We could turn it around if more people would become vegetarians.
When individuals take control of their own lives through their meditation and prayer, they will come to all types of decisions that are helpful to this planet and all life. That’s what we want for everyone.
