Even if you live in the system called society, you still have the choice whether or not you will internalize it’s constraints or in turn act those constraints out on yourself and those around you. There are rules laid down by the institutions that govern our society, and many of these rules devalue the role of our spirit. Our spirit is a spirit of belonging, of inclusion, of joy, of non-judgement, of freedom of expression, and of love. All of these at one time or another conflict with the structures we have in place so we can live as a large group of people supposedly in harmony.

Many of our values come from the institutions that rule how a society and it’s people will play out, and many of these values crush the very spirit that lies beneath every person governed by these rules. The remedy is not always to wait for the removal of the rules, but to symbolically step aside and to recognize each other as spiritual beings created by the Divine. This means focusing inwards and taking responsibility for the inner work that needs to be down, so that you can become an example of what it means to be led by your spirit in the world today. Become an example of what peace, love and joy look like, and in doing so you will become one with the one who has created you.
