Poverty

In the same way that the affluence of the West requires and perpetuates Third World poverty, so the thinking mind requires and perpetuates the poverty of the body and soul. This expresses as tension, blocking the free and natural flow of energy, thereby making us unaware of most of our physical and energetic processes. The thinking mind literally sucks the life out of us so that most of us walk around disconnected and misaligned – asleep. If we are disconnected and misaligned then our souls cannot receive the nourishment they need and so cannot express – cannot shine through the fog of fear. This means that most of us are inauthentic, or as my teacher used to put it: Everyone is special but never in the way they think they are. To be alive we must allow ourselves to be a small part of a much larger system. Again, this is just central equilibrium. It means we must relax, connect and most importantly – give.
