The baseline of the majority of people throughout history, barring many of the indigenous peoples of the world, has not significantly prioritized how to live a connected life to both our planet and those less fortunate than us. This baseline definition of normal has meant serving society's main values and standards such as success, wealth, taking care of family, being popular and having some fun. It has not prioritized taking care of the ground on which we live as a whole or supporting the most disadvantaged. Mostly support is kept very much relative to those closest to us.

Robert and Dave are attempting to provide a contemplative bridge from our normal conditioning to find a deeper fulfillment, rather than just satisfaction as a possibility. Although our current state feels natural, there is another level that has to do with interconnection with the world, interconnections with people that are suffering, and awareness of what we each consider to be our best self. The Introspective Guides are a great place to begin to access a more nuanced literacy to taking care of ourselves and others when faced with life's challenges. By extension, this process enables a greater capacity to be present and open to a more meaningful connection with your inner circle and the global community to increasing degrees. This is a particularly vital time when we are facing global warming, potential nuclear war, terrorism, and shootings.

The recognition we want to care for where we are, and then also we want to care for others is really the foundation of the Awareness That Heals process. We hope that you will download the Introspective Guides if you have not already and that you'll see this as a way to move your life from a limited kind of caring to provide for new levels of fulfillment.
