What meaning does our cover title, Holding the World to a Higher Standard, hold for you? Perhaps your initial thought was, “Yes, they have to do better!” Your understanding of “they” may be: governments, corporations, educational & financial institutions, healthcare systems, the food industry, employers, parents, etc.

Giving it a little thought, did it also occur to you that “they” is actually you? Yep, to paraphrase: “we have met the ‘they’ and they are us.” Probably not what most of us prefer to hear, but we have always been they and we will always be they. Be they as they may. We need to hold ourselves, individually, to a higher standard – a higher standard of intentions, a higher standard of relationships – to all life forms – and a higher standard of being and acting in the world.

In our lead article, Miquel don Ruiz, asks Help Me to Change the World. By change, he is referring to realizing a global goal whereby all people live in truth and harmony. However, you cannot change the planet if you do not change your inner world first. It all begins in your head (thoughts) and manifests in the world through the Love expressed in your heart.
