If You Can’t Go Outside, Go Inside
Read the signs and do the work.
I believe that the world around us is more than we can perceive consciously. That there is a net of connections, energy and invisible symbolism that surrounds us and guides us. It’s not necessarily a higher power as we might think about God or anything that is bigger than us — like the universe or destiny. It is a mightier logic of the world — a secret system of rules, regulations that come from something more than our conscious understanding.
It starts with our bodies. I believe that pain is a sign that we are doing something wrong and we need to change. That anxiety is a sign that we need to shift our focus. That depression is a sign that we need to deal with our inner demons. Tiredness and burnout is a sign that we need to give ourselves a rest. Our organism signals us whenever we deter from what is good for us.
The same thing happens on a larger scale — our communities, societies and the whole world work like an organism, with their specific signs that talk to us, if we are willing to listen and understand.
I’m not talking about rules and laws. I’m talking about interpreting the events around us to adapt our lives to it and to make us grow and become better.
