Where to look when you… need security

The well-off and the secure have too often become indifferent and oblivious to the poverty and deprivation in their midst. The poor... have been shut out of our minds and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible... Ultimately, a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for 'the least of these.

— Martin Luther King Jr., Our Daily Journey with God

The more we understand our own minds, the more we understand everyone else. We increasingly feel the commonality of our human condition, of what creates suffering and how we can be free. Our practice also benefits others through the transformation of how we are in the world. If we’re more accepting, more peaceful, less judgmental, less selfish, then the whole world is that much more loving and peaceful, that much less judgmental and selfish. Our mind-body is a vibrating, resonating energy system. Of necessity, how we are affects everyone around us. On a boat in the middle of a great storm, one wise, calm person can bring everyone to safety. The world is like that boat, tossed by the storms of greed and hatred and fear. Can we be one of those people who help to keep it safe?
