Choosing to remain present to the alive moment is a vital spiritual practice. As a collective we are experiencing ongoing waves of fear and information overload, which makes it increasingly challenging to remain present and connected to one another. Making an inner decision to open to everyday reality, helps in maintaining sanity in the midst of increasing mass hypnosis. Resisting the impulse to go into inner division (expressing itself as judgement), helps to maintain inner …

The habit of looking outside of oneself is a collective trance that has to be broken, in order to be free.
