Can you see how this could ripple into 'change'. If so, what do you see changing and on what levels?

We have taken each other at 'face value' for wayyyyy too long. I'm encouraged, as well! :-))))

RV. Thank-you as always, for bringing in the music! I'll clarify as you mentioned that I had lost you. I really don't think so though.
I was referring to the ability we have to be globally connected as we are via the internet without ever seeing face to face. I had cause to wonder yesterday, being so surrounded by people in a job situation, who they were. That not so long ago, we were all less inclined to know the depths of the those around us. Not used to feeling so many things in regards to others.. Keeping ourselves so contained., and here we practice it everyday. And the impact of that...
If we allow it, and use it to see more clearly into our lives.

Okay, now I have to go shopping for a CD and a book?! Does anyone else have this problem? Tommybear, please don't leave us hanging. What's the premise?....(although, I think I know what your getting at)..

CD....Hello!...You had me then you lost me...if The question means, do I think that learning to know people from the inside out will have SOME impact on the world..then yes!
But it's the law of attraction. YOU have to be knowable (and I'm sure you are) to give the signal that it's all right for
others to open up and reveal who THEY are.
Most change comes from within, I believe, and here I
can site a quote from one of my favorite cosmic rockers
Todd Rundgren .....
"I want to change the world
I want to make it well
How can I change the world
When I can't change myself?
Try again tomorrow...
I want to change your mind
Capture your citadel
How can I change your mind
If I can't change myself?" -- Change myself...opening track from Todd's CD..."Second Wind"
Tell you what.. I'm going to up the ante, and dedicate a song to you from that record...It's called "Gaia's Eyes"...
There...now you have to go buy the CD so you can find out what this dedication's all about....
Todd has long been a purveyor of personal introspection as a path to world peace. He is a meta-physical minstrel, and you two should really hook up!
Peace from the RV

The ripple effect runs both ways. Our world seems to require balance. What is good for one is bad for another. One wants one thing now and after it manifests something else is wanted and often what was first desired can be left behind to another. This way the world does not need to undergo any changes that we have any power or ability to actualize. On a planetary level change occurs and that is fine. If one is open to our inner mind, soul, whatever one chooses to call it, one will be led to be in the right place at the right time.
At the most, we only need to know ourselves inside out and outside in.

There is only one way to truly know someone, and that's from the inside-out.
I'm counting on the impact to break boundaries.
I see the transformation on many levels.
I see beautiful, intimate strangers change before my very eyes. I'm changed by my knowledge of them. At first contact.
I see many like you taking the initiative and consciously setting off cosmic triggers for others.(thanks R.A.Wilson)
Also, I feel much pleasure in knowing that it's only just begun.

If one recognizes the divine within others, it is then possible for one to recognize the divine within the self!
If the opposite were true, arrogance, envy, and pride would be the permanent state of consciousness within man!
In the end, we could just imagine many mirrors reflecting into each other..........

I was poured deep into myself once,
this little ripple.
It's not by mistake,
the most aggresive religions,
are full of fearfull members.
To gaze upon a single blade of grass,
with no-thought, no-thought;
it's funny that I mixed myself up,
to know myself better
*Thank You*
