Peace of Mind

"Being in the world and not of it" is merely stating that when you are in the midst of turmoil, you can remain unaffected, while the turmoil swirls around you. That is the key. You do not have to buy into the illusion of the drama going on outside of you. You do not need to allow the negative energy to enter into your space. You have control over whether or not you allow it to come in and affect you. You have tremendous power and control. Of course, some of us have self-inflicted dramas that we create from within and end up projecting outside to those around us. Being consciously aware of what is going on outside of you and inside of you is the beginning to the mastery of your domain.
