To be educated about the state of our planet really doesn't take a great effort. All we need to do is be observant of the daily interactions of people...in traffic jams, at the grocery store check outs, in Doctor's offices or emergency rooms... The larger picture of pollution and natural disasters is a larger perspective of the effects of closed hearts and minds. The real solution to saving the planet is merely to open up our hearts and see through Spiritual eyes to recognize the healing effects that can occer when we realize that we are all in this together and that battling against one another is really only a battle against ourselves. Next time you're in busy supermarket, try simply smiling at the Cashie, try silently offering a blessing to the guy who cuts you off in traffic...you'll soon realize that what you are seeing is nothng more than the projection of a belief system that the world is greater and more powerful than your own ability to heal with a loving heart.
