“We have to find the power in kindness, the confidence in kindness, the release in kindness; the type of kindness that transcends belief systems, allegiances, ideologies, cliques, and tribes. This is the trait that can transform our lives.”

embodying division, tribalism, aggression, and hostility seem to come quite easily for us. perhaps, because they spring out of our fears, fears that are rooted in the misunderstanding of thinking we are separate, rather than the ultimate truth that we are not separate from each other or all life.

these traits of division, tribalism, aggression, and hostility may come quite easily for us, but they can cause immense harm, and they betray our true nature, which is one of love, spaciousness, and wisdom.

with awareness, we can come home to and choose to engage our true nature. we can choose to embody kindness which is the outpouring of our love, spaciousness, and wisdom. when we choose to embody kindness, we bring heaven to earth and are in union with love, and by doing so we are choosing to bring benefit to ourselves and others in the world, instead of contributing to harm.
