Be The Change To Create The Change
Does it seem to you that the world is a place of increasing chaos, conflict, and strife?
Would you prefer to experience the world as a place of increasing peace and harmony?
If your answer to both questions is a resounding yes, then you are definitely not alone!
You may be familiar with the above quote that is attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, although he did not speak or write those words.
Instead, what he actually wrote is far more profound.
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
(See reference below)
The idea that the world will change if we change clearly poses a direct challenge to the view we’ve been taught to accept, which is through a very disempowering lens. The indoctrination system known as ‘education’ teaches us to believe we are insignificant and that life is a random accident.
But is that narrow view a correct representation of our true nature or that of our world?
Definitely not.
There is an increasing awareness of the concept that ‘we create our own reality’; yet this awareness often leaves us with more questions than answers when considering the chaotic state of the world around us. This in turn may leave us wondering if this concept actually ‘works’ or if we’ve ‘done something wrong’.
One clue to gaining a better understanding lies in the saying that “life happens for us, not to us”.
On Saturday 2nd March 2024 I’m hosting a 90-minute workshop with a new presentation called Creating Change by the Power of Your Thoughts.
In this workshop, we’ll dive deeper into the topic of how we create our experiences and discuss why positive thinking alone does not work.
Join with others who are also on this exciting journey of discovery to learn who we are and how we can truly ‘change our world’.
Join us on Saturday March 2nd 2024 at 9am US Pacific/12noon US Eastern/5pm UK.
This event is Free or by donation.

Our session will be recorded and all registered participants will receive the replay link afterwards.
You’ll also receive a special invitation to a follow-up Q&A session.

Excellent, Dawn! Truer words were never spoken. I so hope that many, many more will start to realize the truth in this and start living and thinking accordingly because absolutely the world will change! It has no choice.
