How can we accept living in a world like ours?

Master Kosen – Published on June 17 – suffering

Question

How can we accept living in a world like ours, based on power and money? How can we accept the horror and misery around us? How can we find our place in a world we reject? However much I try to change the way I look at the world, I still see only the filth of the human race.


Thank you.

Master Kosen’s answer

My teacher gives us this teaching: every day when you wake up, say very slowly, word by word, visualizing the words written before your eyes, “On this day I go to a place in my brain where I am remarkable and where I heal the world.” Then breathe out and watch these words recede to the horizon. Once they have disappeared, tell yourself that this is how it will be.
You will see new solutions appear in your life and in your world.
Each person is responsible for their reality.
