I regularly hear from some on the spiritual path “don’t intervene” it is not our role. But i ask, how can we not? It is not a moral question but rather do we really have any choice? For from what i see we interact with the all, yes intervene, every moments of our lives.
On the material level, most live in dwellings of some sort – of what are they built, are they heated or cooled, were the materials transported to where you now live? Do you drive or even ride public transit? Not only the fuel, but the vehicles themselves, and the roads they travel have altered the environment. Even if you walk or ride a bike, the paths you travel have been carved into the earth, and how many microscopic entities lay beneath our tires or feet. We wear clothes, and bathe. We eat food, (or some food “product”) which was grown somewhere, and the life forms that we consume add to our own. We dispose of our waste – even when we reduce our garbage for the landfill, we still all piss and shit. Even if we were to float naked and not consume, if we were to be alive we would still breathe – and every breath is inhaled into our bodies, and breathed back out – somewhat transformed from being inside – and the outbreath once again becomes part of the air that travels throughout the world. And in each breath we take, are parts that have been breathed in and out by so many other people and life forms, and through this we interact with the all, and part of you has become part of me which is returned to the world to become part of something else. we interact in order to live – and beyond the physical are emotions and thought forms which join into the collective consciousness. but even if you are not willing to acknowledge that, every physical action, our very breath, ties us to the greater whole.
So the question then becomes not IF we intervene or interact, but How.
