Robert encourages us this week to really do our best to listen to our most heartfelt selves. Let us bring as much realism as possible to our imagination of caring for ourselves, our nuclear families, our global family, and our precious planet earth. We have not been taught to do this or how to do this. In this episode, we are given guidance. If we can expand our caring we can begin to embrace our global challenges. It is not required for us to be from a particular religion or spirituality. From wherever you start, we can naturally expand our hearts and actions beyond the smaller group we normally give to. We are being encouraged, not out of guilt, but to check into our unique hearts and reach from there. To work towards being able to say, I've never met you, but because I realize the world and our country is seriously suffering, I want to ask, how can I help? We can then look for who we might be able to have contact with.

As we are doing this, we must also look at our inner enemies. They come in the form of doubt, hatred, skepticism, or perhaps a fixed sense of despair, and withdrawal. Robert helps to coax us into examining and caring for these shadows. For these are the inner enemies that reinforce the outer enemies that we project. We are all capable of increasing our capacity for a good vibe, and that good vibe can translate into more tolerance and new actions.
