Theos-Talk Archives (February 2003 Message tt00168)

To my understanding, the greatest spiritual work we can offer to the world
in a time of crisis, and actually at any time, is to keep our heart realm
serene and composed no matter what. If our heart realm is disturbed by fear,
or any other emotion enters in and changes our mood, our contribution to the
spiritual upliftment of humanity is very limited, if at all. I am crossing
my fingers to all spiritual people in the world to stay calm and thus
provide a nucleus of sanity amidst this world turmoil. Best wishes, Etzion
