Text from Pressenza: an international news agency dedicated to news about peace and nonviolence
This moment that humanity is experiencing can be seen as a door or a hole. It is up to you to decide whether you fall into the hole or go through the door. If you consume the news 24/7, with negative energy, constantly on edge, with pessimism, then you fall into that hole. But if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to consider life and death, to take care of yourself and others, then you will go through the portal.
Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself, you are also taking care of everyone else.
Do not underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Take the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above – with an expanded view. This crisis involves a social issue, but also a spiritual issue. Both go hand in hand.
Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. Without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and meaninglessness.
Are you ready to face this crisis? Take your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal.
Learn resistance from the example of the Indian and African peoples: they have been and are still being exterminated, but they have never stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and rejoicing.
Don’t feel guilty for feeling blessed in these troubled times. Being sad or angry does not help in any way. Resistance is resistance through joy!
You have a right to be strong and positive. And there is no other way to do that than to maintain a positive, happy and light-filled attitude. This has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). It is a strategy of resistance.
When we cross the threshold, we have a new world view because we have faced our fears and difficulties. That is all you can do now:
- Keep calm in the storm
- Keep calm, pray daily
- Make it a habit to encounter the sacred every day.
- Show resistance through art, joy, trust and love.
