I have mantras that I create and silently repeat to myself when I hike, during my meditation time, during the day when I have to wait in line, and so on. One that I am using currently is “Nothing much disturbs me.”
It might do our nation well as our headlines show rage and intolerance daily… which as Sadhguru says, will cause destruction. This is too much negative energy in a time where we need to work together and cooperate in positive ways. The media tends to encourage negative fear-based energies. Most spiritual seekers tend to tune out from sources that do so in exchange for trying to “keep it positive” in thoughts, words, and deeds.
We don’t want to be ignorant about what is going on in the world but the perspective from which we approach receiving information needs to be carefully decided upon. Add AI info-bots to the near-future scenario and it may become hard to know what is real or being fed to us for purposes of persuading political views or group actions.
Discernment has never been more important. And keep your eye on the prize, which for me is always INNER PEACE.
