Inner Work

In times of global crisis and societal upheaval, the most impactful action we can take is to engage in deep personal introspection and growth. This inner work is not just a self-help concept, but a crucial element for collective survival and progress. If enough people will do their inner work, we can overcome the challenges we face.

Our unconscious biases and tendency to project our own faults onto others are at the root of many societal issues. We seldom consciously know that we are scapegoating or projecting. By actively examining our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, we can break free from these destructive patterns. This process of self-awareness and personal responsibility is challenging, but it's the key to genuine change.

True strength lies in acknowledging our own shortcomings rather than seeking scapegoats. When we face our inner darkness, we diminish its power over us and others. This courageous act of self-reflection ripples outward, positively impacting our relationships, communities, and the world at large. We hate our own faults in other people, and sadly we often find the best cover for that projection in religion.

The path to a better future doesn't lie in external solutions alone. It begins within each of us. By committing to this inner work, we contribute to a collective shift in consciousness that can guide humanity through its most pressing challenges.

Jesus came to change our minds about where goodness and evil really lie. Let us embrace the difficult but rewarding journey of self-discovery and personal growth. In doing so, we not only transform ourselves but also play a vital role in shaping a more compassionate, understanding, and unified world.
