Everyone has a higher self, the part most loved and admired by their other selves, a part that is capable of so much love. It is also the most illusive self. We go through each day, and we see the parts that we don't love so much, and sometimes we think that that is all that we are. But, who we are, and who we become, is determined by which of these selves we chose to feed and acknowledge.
It is the same with our world. There are good things and bad things all around us. The shape of our future world depends on where we put our energy and our thoughts right now. We can argue about the things we disagree on, or enjoy the things we all love.
