The Happy Bystander

Some spiritual folks want to change the world, some want to withdraw from it, I just want to be a happy bystander. This world is nothing but a projection of your inner being, as you change your perspective, the world changes with you. You can't change the world, and you can't run away from it would be my conjecture. What you can do, however, is to change your perspective and your attitude about the world and see with amazement how your outer world is changing in proportion to your inner one.

You can be a happy bystander because the world you see is not real. This may sound like a cliche to you, but it is true, you can experience this yourself. I see the law of oneness even in the corporate world, heroes are born, villains fall, but eventually everyone is getting back what they have put into the game of life. You can sidestep this eternal struggle and people will leave you mostly in peace. Sure, you still have to draw the sword once in a blue moon, and often you are given the opportunity to lend a helping hand. You are still part of this movie because you yourself need the opportunities to throw some remaining psychological baggage overboard. Your spiritual promotion is that you now understand that you are an actor in the game of life while everyone else thinks they are for real. After the movie is shot you leave the set and let the story develop a life on its own without being attached to you anymore.
