World Peace Begins With Your Neighbor

“Why does it take a disaster to bring us together? Recent tragedies like 911, Hurricane Katrina, and the Tsunami remind us of who we are deep inside— a spiritually connected part of a large extended family, a web of living beings, sharing a tiny biosphere, on a small planet.”
“As Albert Einstein reminded us, “our separation from each other is an optical illusion of consciousness.” Disasters jolt us out of the sleepwalking that can happen as we focus on the daily business of life and survival with our self focused agendas, even our higher spiritual ones. Disasters also can open our hearts, as spiritual energy comes through us and is released in the form of compassion to others. Collectively, a chain reaction of goodness can come as a flood, but then, after the crisis, a “spiritual dam” may form once again within us and we go back to the sleep of our busy lives.” If you want to read more of this marvelous article which truly inspires me (and I hope you) to work to cooperate and overcome my resistance to cooperate with my neighbors) check out:
