Most of us began a conscious spiritual path because we wanted more understanding, inner peace, joy, wisdom, and love in our lives. This is right and good... AND there is more. As we grow in love, peace, joy, service, we also grow the world in those things--even more when we make a conscious intention to do so. Our spiritual practices help us to explore and come to know the depths and edges of ourselves, and a wider attitude enables us to be of service to the whole of humanity—to come to know ourselves as not separate from anyone else.
