Dear Tom,

Thank you for sharing your insights! They truly resonate with me. Me as working in climate sector, my own understanding of the climate crisis is that our technological advances have outstripped our inner, spiritual growth as humans... Essentially, we've developed our external world, but neglected the inner one. This imblance seems to be at the root of our struggles to build a truly sustainable and inclusive society. Without fully noticing, our inner thoughts and feelings always drive our external actions, which in turn shape our world! I strongly believe that this internal process could hold the key to new creative solutions for pressing challenges like climate change. While inner work may often be sidelined as intangible in our materialistic society, it actually offers very tangible benefits, such as greater clarity, enhanced empathy, + improved relations with both nature and humanity.

In my personal journey, I make it a point to journal, meditate, and reflect regularly. As you beautifully shared, I also take moments to imagine the societal impact if more of us were committed a little more to inner work. Such a cultural shift could perhaps elevate spiritual wisdom as much as technological advancements, hence bridging the gap that exists today!! I truly believe that inner work is more than self-improvement but it's a pathway to making more sustainable and inclusive decisions that resonate with our true selves and the world at large.

Thanks for giving so much food for thoughts. Hope we can continue exchange!
