I can get caught up with trying to understand and perceive the illusion that I forget I'm supposed to create it and be an active part. Where I find myself tripped up is: by actively creating am I thus not fully accepting all things as they are? And is it in the Tao to be an activist? Inside I desire change for the benefit of all creatures on this planet, but outside I find myself at a loss for ways to make a proactive change.
Any thoughts?
When you create, you are like this...
If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you
Along the way, you may gain a more deep appreciation of why the mountain is where it is, and even if you have faith the size of a grain of mustard and could move it easily, you don't.
So where does that leave us?
Do we "create" externally - we all can do that if we want... Or do we change ourselves on the inside and do the work within - taking our queues from what goes on - in the outside?
