We don’t know if something is bringing us pleasure or misery. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing we can do. We call something bad; we call something good; we really don’t know.
We treat the planet as a thing to be possessed, to use it, to abuse it; remember the planet is a living organism that we are all part of. To treat the planet with care, with moderation and love is to treat all species and the planet the same way; then we will be in synchrony with ourselves. We cannot reform the world unless we find our true heart. High awareness of the truth is gained and maintained through virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines.
Times of abundance are usually brief, it is for us to be aware of what must follow, and in good times prepare for the bad times. Abundance is brought about by clarity and movement; times of decline are when the movement stops and the direction to follow is vague.
