The first law of Spirit is acceptance.
You can accept those things that are not okay, that feel broken within you.
You can accept the mistakes and foibles of your existence in these levels.
Acceptance of something doesn’t mean you like it, it just means that you acknowledge what it is without judging that it should be different.
The quickest way to a wealthy mindset is by being grateful.
In doing that, you recognize the abundance of blessings that are already present and there is no need to bring anyone down, no need take from others.
You only want to take from others when you think there is a limited amount to go around, and the only way to get yours is to take from someone else. That is poverty consciousness.
No matter how much money you have, if you think that way then you are poor.

If you’re not grateful along the way, then you won’t be grateful when you achieve your goals.

If you spend all your efforts for selfish ends, and achieve what you’ve defined as success but do not share of your blessings, then the rewards will be empty inside and you will live a life of quiet desperation with fleeting sensations of pleasure.
In other words, you may have things, but you will still be poor.

As we focus on the fullness of life, and on the abundance (even in the midst of contraction and what might appear as limitations), we exude that fullness. We become that. In reality, we always have been the fullness, and we are just becoming aware of it.

What if you didn’t have any friends, family, reputation, or anyone’s opinion to be concerned about?
What if no one knew you, you had no responsibilities to anyone else, and what if you didn’t need that next paycheck?
What if those things that keep you bound in the situations of your life were no longer there, even the inner shackles you put on yourself?
What would you do? [DM me your answers]
When you really take the time to contemplate what you would do if you had nothing holding you back, and the price you would have to pay to do that, you will find the path to your own freedom.
The victim and the enemy (the oppressed and oppressor) are both within. You may have been victimized, and there is real pain and trauma that can stem from that experience which requires true healing, but being a victim is a choice, and being a victim offers no healing.
The greater your awareness, the narrower the path you must walk.
Spirit meets you at the point of your action, but karma meets you at the point of your stupidity.
We create, allow, or promote everything in our lives. Not only that, but everything in our lives is for our upliftment, learning, and growth…but we have to choose to use it in that way by moving our awareness into a higher perspective and positive attitude.
Maybe you aren’t worthy, maybe the negative voice is right (it’s not, but let’s pretend). Maybe you aren’t good enough. You can still be loving. You can still be grateful. You can still help others. And you can still have a good time.
The spiritual heart is that loving essence that is the entirety of who you truly are, your spiritual self. It is the one who breathes you, who is life itself. It is never separate, never lacking. It is always complete, whole, and connected to that divine source that is another aspect of the great divine.

Debate vs Discussion
Framing societal problems as DEBATES = NO SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
DEBATE = ADVERSARIAL, people choose sides, one side looses, people focus on each other as the problem even when people on both sides actually want to solve the issue
DEBATE = POLITICIANS WIN when people choose sides, they use emotional upset to manipulate people. Hint: they are incentivized on both sides to not solve the problem
DEBATE = NEWS & SOCIAL MEDIA WIN when emotionally charged debates draw engagement they make money. Hint: they are incentivized to create division
DEBATE = PEOPLE LOSE as no solutions can get widespread support
Framing societal problems as DISCUSSIONS = opportunity for lasting SOLUTIONS
DISCUSS = CRITICAL THINKING, problems may be complex, with multiple contributing factors that may not always be obvious
DISCUSS = CREATIVE THINKING, multiple solutions to each problem may exist, and each solution may vary in efficacy & costs (both monetary & social costs), levels of widespread acceptance, etc
DISCUSS = COOPERATION, we have common purpose to solving the problem, we can strongly disagree about the best solutions without making those we disagree with “bad people”, we can debate the merits and costs of different solutions without having to be loyal to our “side”, we are allowed to disagree and still compromise without “losing”, sometimes the realistic solution no one is particularly happy about.
DISCUSS = SOLUTIONS, opportunity to look at solutions beyond the immediate problem by addressing contributing factors and causes rather than just the immediate problem, finding solutions that could get widespread acceptance with minimal cost that can be quickly implemented (even if they reduce the societal problem by 10-20-30%, it is a step in the right direction and can be done now in cooperation to better the problem).
DISCUSS = PEOPLE WIN, making things even a little better for society has lasting effects. Rather than perfection, we can strive for better, and like every relationship, we must compromise on courses of action without compromising on our values.
Here’s a radical idea for you:
Instead of watching or reading the news, start making the news.
Since you’re the one making it, make it good.
Make the news good in your home, in your your community, in your family, with your friends.
Take care of yourself first, so you can help take care of others.
Do what you can do.
If your house isn’t in order, then stop worrying about “the world”.
If everyone started ensuring their part of the world was in order to the best of their ability, the aggregate change would be substantial.

There are blessings from grief, especially when triggered by a significant death.
It can cause a crisis for what this life means, which makes you truly look at what is important to you, and how you want to live for the short time you are here.
History, because what happened is predictive of what’s happening. Human nature and behavior hasn’t changed. When you see the karmic flow, you understand what is taking place.

Your attitude defines your reality.
