This is beautifully and powerfully and wisely said. I am profoundly grateful to Michael Meade and to each and every soulful mentor, teacher, healer who has graced my life, helping me to remember who I am and why I am here. May we all increasingly know the soulful sacred being we are. Then we are able to recognize the Sacred in one another. And everything changes. May we all become a Friend to the World and make more soul.

A recent interview on the state of the world began with the question of whether individual humans had a role to play or even matter given massive problems like climate change, religious and political terrorism, economic disparity and institutionalized injustice. The answer came quickly - humans matter because of soul; each person matters precisely because each soul is a unique presence in the world. Imagination is the deepest power of the human soul that alone can find creative ways out of the otherwise overwhelming problems of the world.
An old idea suggests that each person comes to life at a time when they have something to give to the world. That sense of soulful giving and healing may be more needed now than ever before. Healing is a revolutionary act and we have chosen to live at a time when culture needs to be reimagined and nature needs to be healed. We are here to awaken to the true nature of our own souls and to make more soul in the world.
In a world gone wrong, where any issue can polarize people and divide religions as well as nations, soul is the missing ingredient. For, soul is the glue of the world, the unity in any community and the divine connection hidden in the heart of each individual. In the depth of our souls each person is secretly connected to the Soul of the World. When a person, regardless of age, education or background, acts from the depths of their soul they add imagination and beauty, love and unique presence to the world.
There is no time better than the darkest time of the year, no period better than the troubled times we find ourselves in for making more soul in the world. Soul is the light inside dark times. In the midst of all the fear and resentment, in the face of all the cynicism and nihilism, make more soul. When it comes to soul, mistakes are acceptable and can even become a new style or way of being. So, start a foolish project, commit to making places sacred again, find ways to risk life and love more. Become a Friend of the World and make more soul.
