There may be a temptation in the face of widespread global calamity to become paralytic and full of despair.
The media and most of the "experts" on the world stage who proselytize regarding climate change or terrorism or global epidemics are really creating more fear and confusion as they try to staunch a rupture in every facet of our existence, ruptures that are appearing daily.
As much as I admire her I have even heard Nobel prize winner Malala Yousafzai say on a Jon Stewart show that "world war three is coming" (really?)" and now that she has a platform, people are going to be listening to her.
Don't listen to any of them. Don't allow fear to take root. Don't listen to the prophets of doom. Listen only to that sacred voice that lies within because the answers to absolutely everything that is happening right now lies there.
Here is an exercise: take a couple of days, go deeply into nature or as much as you can given your circumstances, rid yourself entirely of all communication devices, do not turn on your computers, your radios or your television. Just sit and listen.
Tell me what you hear afterwards, tell me what you sense...because being disconnected from the clamor of a frightened world is going to be the only thing that will cause you to thrive in this time, to "rise above" and to be free.
What comes back in this silence is diametrically opposed to what you are hearing on the air waves of fear.
