We Are The World

Have you ever wanted to change the world?

It starts when we are young. We get to a certain age, look around, and realize that most people are inherently selfish, and our parents and the government don't know everything. We see suffering, war, famine, disease, and we want to do something about it. We might want to help starving people in Africa, save the turtles from extinction, discover the cure for cancer, and even protest for World Peace.

But despite this, we may still fight with our in-laws, hate our boss, and yell at people when they cut us off in traffic. 

We can't expect that our country won't go to war when our household or workplace are mini war zones. 

Society is composed of many individuals.

If the individuals possess greed, hatred, envy and anger, the fabric of society will be stained with those defects.

So how do we truly change the world?

Above the entrance to the Temple of Delphi is written the famous line "Nosce te Ipsum"; "Man, know thyself and you shall know the universe and its gods". 

To change the world, we must change ourselves. Truly, this is the only way. 

Do we know why we are here? Do we know where exactly we came from? Do we know what will happen to us after we die?

These are some of the questions that can follow us our whole life. But if we want to find the answers, we need the tools to wisely look inside and discover our psychological and esoteric realities. 

We have the power to radically eliminate our undesirable psychological elements and to cultivate the virtues of love, compassion, fogiveness, and serenity. 

This change is what will change the world, like a single drop of rain that sends ripples out across the water.

"If we want to do away with the greed of the World, we should profoundly comprehend that this World is within our own selves. We are the World. The greed of everyone else lies within us" -Samael Aun Weor
