We feel powerless when we look at the world, at life, even at our own circumstances because we have been trained to remain disconnected from the source of our power.

Nowhere in our educations were we taught to pursue silence, simplicity of heart, God.

We were taught to pursue whatever was novel and approval from peers and authorities. We we trained into reactivity, insecurity, fragmentation.

And now, the things we most need in order to recover our agency feel foreign and frightening. When we sit in silence, we get fidgety.

Detaching, not just from the media, but from our worldly desires is necessary if we won’t to find our focus and strength.

The world we were tutored to adore fragments us, shatters our efficacy.

Silence, solitude, detachment, these things consolidate our hearts, our personalities, our vitality: the sources from which our ability to love The World must arise.
