So make peace with yourselves about what you will do; do it, and then be at [[peace]] with it. Since you can't do it all, do it [[wisely]], do your [[prayers]], your [[meditations]], your visualizations and consider that these are valid contributions to [[the whole]] and that you cannot fix the entire world nor are you required to. But you can be sure that your house is in order, that your [[intentions]] follow the highest of your [[aspirations]] and if you did this and only this while you lived and breathed on [[this planet]], you have succeeded.

So while I acknowledge your being drawn into the [[fight]], I advise you to not go there, to not burden yourselves with what to do with this regime or that country or this land or this [[catastrophe]] or that earthquake. You simply cannot keep burdening yourself with so many different aspects. It will get worse before it gets better so be mindful that the whole weight of the world is not on your shoulders. The weight of your world is what is on your shoulders and to the [[degree]] that you can help with any one else's circumstance, by all means.

Comment: Thank you very much, I like that you were [[echoing]] that favorite phrase of "a hallmark of wisdom is a sense of [[proportion]]."

Machiventa: I very much [[appreciate]] the [[discussion]]. I admire greatly that you all have a [[passion]] in your [[voice]] about your world. about how it is growing smaller, about how you feel it more, about how real it is to you, about how things unknown to you previously now [[impact]] you and cause you to feel. This I point to as a sign of the [[spiritual pressure]] that has been applied to [[this planet]]. You all are [[feeling]] more [[connected]], more in [[touch]], more in tune and this is as it should be. However, with these growing pains, one will have to monitor how much of the weeds outside of [[the kingdom]] will be let into the internal [[garden]]. One must guard against their [[effects]], the effects of [[evil]], the effects of [[fear]], the effects that others are feeling; while they are so easy to feel, we cannot let them [[contaminate]] our kingdom, our kingdom within.
