You But Mirror The World!

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Are you concerned about what is going on in the world? Are you feeling depressed or weighted down by an overpowering fear for what the future may bring? So many people who I meet these days share their worries about the world and their fear for the future. I completely understand. I have been there myself, feeling deeply paralyzed by despair to the point of profound isolation. Many things are still concerning me of course…but not to the point of despair. The truth is that I had an old unconscious belief from my childhood where I was not being safe in the world. This attitude from the past kept me in a perpetual cycle…until the day I woke up to the “new me.”

The Buddha said that: “first the world created our mind, and then, we create the world with our minds and thoughts”. The brain holds the memory of our past from the reactions and patterns we developed from our first experiences as children. Looking out at the politic scenes and the affairs of the world, seemed to be mirroring back to me my old beliefs and issues around lack and safety. I remember the day when after an abrupt battle with grief and struggles, I finally understood how my depression was more about dwelling in the past and not living my heart desires. Anxiety was about fear for the future. I became acutely aware on how we can be missing up on life, living into our head and not into reality, not fully embracing the only moment that we ever have… the only one on which can be build our visions and future, and the only one which can make a difference in our life and the one of those we love. I understood how I had been sleeping and unaware, living in the traffic of my mind rather than being awake and living my life.

Thinking greater that what brings us down, and turning it around to a vision for what needs to happen, can be very empowering and life changing. By being the “perfectly imperfect” “self “that you are in your totality, by trusting into your dreams and visions, by committing to be fully present in the here and now, and by taking responsibility,  you empower yourself one step at the time, to mirror the world in every moment, rather than let the world control your thinking.  Many others like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Emmeline Pankhurst, to name a few… have led the way by thinking greater that what was bringing them down and by modeling revolutionary possibilities. As Gandhi said: “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.”

INSPIRATION OF THE MONTH

To continue to be inspired on how we want to be mirroring the world, in keeping a vision for our future, here is a very powerful short exercise by Dr Joe Dispenza. He is an international lecturer, researcher, corporate consultant, author, and educator. His postgraduate training covered neurology, neuroscience, brain function and chemistry, cellular biology, memory formation, aging and longevity. As a researcher, Dr. Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to help people heal themselves of illnesses, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases so they can enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life, as well as evolve their consciousness.

“The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their mind.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
