World Community

In this time on our planet, it is essential for humanity to understand our Oneness. On a physical and material level, this ensures our well-being as a whole. As we deeply understand our connectedness—we know that an iceberg melting at the North Pole, affects currents and winds in Florida. We see that changes in oil prices not only affect oil, but the prices of food that then can limit already skimpy lunch programs for poor children. Inequity in certain nations leads to hunger, resentment and disharmony in third world countries that later creates ripples throughout the world back to our door. As the Buddhists state: we are interconnected being.

We cannot ignore the state of our home, Earth, and all inhabitants in it. This is the next level of spiritual awakening. Seeing ourselves as a cell in the body of Earth and Earth a cell in the body of the Universe, and the Universe a cell in the body of “The All that IS.”
