Green Newsletter September 2020

Dear Friends and well-wishers of our environmental newsletter,

I hope you are all okay and doing fine. We are all aware that we are in a challenging moment of history.  First, we thought the Corona virus may be not so bad or would disappear after some time. Then it dawns on us that the pandemic may be with us longer than we thought.
Already Corona is teaching us so many lessons. We have had to accept and come to terms with social distancing, reduce or even avoid completely beloved distractions, travel less and even simplify our shopping list. On top of that, our economy is taking a big hit and as yet, we do not really know where the bottom of these developments are. It seems we are on a pathway to redefine our purpose in life and we must ask ourselves some important questions:

• What lessons have I learned from the corona time?
• Are we up to the present double challenge of dealing with both corona and climate change?
• Is our society following the right pathway? What are the new ways we need to replace the old "damaging" ways and practices?
• Do I have the right priorities in my life?
• What decisions do I need to take to bring a new future close?
• What is my vision of the future?
• How can I accelerate my spiritual transformation?
• How is my meditation progressing?
• How can I help others?

The corona challenge has brought drastic and immediate lifestyle changes and our Governments have made available huge funds to deal with the crisis. Many of us ask ourselves: how is it possible that climate change has not received the same attention? For such a long time we are aware of the coming dramatic effects and its impact on life of this plant. Somehow the response has not been adequate at all.
To make sense of what is going on right now, it is worth reflecting on the human psyche and its mechanism to deal with potentially dangerous situations.
In any case, we can see people waking up and reflecting on deeper issues underlying our current crisis.  Even soft topics like compassion and healing are surfacing in science articles.
We all feel it is important to improve our inner resilience, stay connected to our family, friends and our network to share and support each other.
We wish you all the ability to find the right answers and to stay happy and healthy.  May you progress on the path towards the light and be an inspiration for others.

With best wishes

BK Golo, Moringen 3.9.2020
