12 Keys to Spiritual Activism

Again, soothing music set to some very profound statements.

Spiritual Activism seeks to raise up others, not make them dependent and compassion flows from the understanding of the connectivity of all living things and needs to be applied with wisdom.

"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another and all involved in one another." - Thomas Merton

Learn to choose your causes carefully.
Learn to act and not re-act.
Apply synergy and teamwork to accomplish goals.

"Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is watching." - Unknown

"An eye for an eye make the whole world blind" - Mahatma Ghandi

Learn to cultivate Metta (The act of loving-kindness) in your heart.

Faith is taking the first step without seeing the staircase.
