Good afternoon from Somers Point NJ, thanks Gil, I've been experiencing a lot of fear strong and I can't seem to put my finger on it but it does seem be with worth not sure and this does not serve me well and I guess ity reaction then I can't tell what's real or not confusing, relaxed feeling is what I'm trying to stay with,need help

The 3 breath rule he talked about in part 1 of the mindfulness series really worked for me. When fear and anxiety come up, stop right where you are, close your eyes, deep breath in feel it throughout the body, exhale feel the body relax, and the mind clearing. Do it 3 times🙏

If the path calls on us to act, how can we stay silent in face of the ongoing injustices in the world? How can I have faith on the path if we don't recognize how this is directly connected to us and our humanity? Can we go on, sitting on our own, on the great "self improvement project" while our brothers and sisters are being murdered and starved to death in front of our eyes? How can we overcome our illusion of separateness and false identities while witnessing these great harms and staying silent? Every time I sit now I'm driven to tears.... And I ask myself - What would the Buddha do? Our individual freedom is tied to everyone else's freedom. How can you talk about harmlesness without addressing the ongoing genocidal campaign against the Palestian people? I've been a dedicated practicioner for over 10 years but am afraid i am in need to take a step back from the dharma in a moment talks without being washed by dissapointment that is hitting me every time I hear you speak, and day in day out, here we are, without a mention of how this is getting more and more absurd each day that passes.... If anyone know of any spiritual teachers that are addressing the current crisis please send them my way. I know sometimes reacting to real world events can take a moment but this carnage is entering on its 6th month and time is running out for out fellow human beings, our leaders need to step up to the leadership plate! Otherwise this is all talk and no walk. We owe it to the oppressed to not ignore their suffering. In metta 🙏
