There must be thousands of people who write, teach and counsel on themes related to personal growth. They produce countless books, videos, websites, articles, courses, and workshops.
A lot of these teachings are very valuable and reflect the current spiritual paradigm shift.
It is undoubtedly essential to discover the benefits of meditation, openness to higher guidance, synchronicities, the law of attraction, positive thinking, taming of ego and fear…etc.
Awareness of these concepts is a key to healthier and more harmonious living.
But there is a snag.
While a growing undercurrent of awakened individuals realise the importance of working on their spiritual progress, society at large is sinking ever faster into predatory destructive materialism.
Not one aspect of life today is left untouched by the all pervasive corruption of the global system.
So how can an awakened individual continue to work meaningfully on himself towards greater harmony while everything around him seems to be heading for complete disharmony.
A particularly perturbing element is that some personal growth/natural healing/spirituality teachers seem to play the game of the system: marketing their teachings through mainstream media, accepting corporate sponsorship, putting their know how at the service of predatory multinationals…
It makes you wonder what is genuine, what is sincere, who is trustworthy.
At the risk of sounding very naïve, I’m ever more convinced that total honesty and absolute integrity is the only line worth following.
Indulgence for your ego compromising with people driven by arrogance, crude self interest and lack of love will lead you into the ditch sooner or later.
But staying uncompromisingly honest when the mainstream is corrupt is quite an adventure.
Only your inner guidance can lead you through the adventure. Trust the universe. Let go of fear and old beliefs. Open your heart.
And let’s come together:
Fear not, play the new game, not the old corrupt one.
Love,
Leo
