There was a big response from you, the readers, from last month's note regarding the great divide in our nation. That tells me that everybody is feeling this stressful and upsetting experience that we are being put through. The times are very challenging leading up to our new election, and forcing us to consider schism versus oneness.

 

During this last month, there was a lot of progress made in the small sphere of our Meta Meet groups. People have begun applying the concepts to their own lives, and realizing a measure of liberation. Since I'm a guide but not a master (i.e., not without my own stuff), I found the need to do my own work during this period in order to transmute negative emotion - mainly anger and discouragement - into sweetness and peace. I walked my talk, and it worked! (Actually, I could say it's working on a daily basis - continuously - because it's a journey and we have to stay eternally vigilant to reach our new levels of joy, empowerment and love.)

 

Did you ever stop to wonder what your purpose is, what are you doing here? Have you found good answers, or an answer? For me, life is a playbook without rules, a school where you only realize what the lesson plan was after you had to muddle through the course. I think life for me is to use experience to make my life, and the life of everyone on the planet, better. To figure out how to create a loving world. For me, that's a good life purpose, and sufficient.

 

Our current world is pretty far from that ideal, probably because each of us is far from that place within ourselves. So that's our job, our task, our homework right now. Brotherhood, love for others (who may look like they don't deserve it whatsoever!), and that continuous work that produces a sense of self at peace and whole.

 

However we need to get there, those are the steps. Namaste.
