What changes when we stop avoiding the dark and decide to look—calmly, clearly, and with love? We open this conversation with shaky news and heavy feelings, then move toward grounded practices that help us keep our eyes open without losing our center. Drawing on yoga philosophy and ideas from A Course in Miracles, we explore how avoidance quietly empowers fear, and how attention infused with love withdraws our consent and restores agency.We talk about teaching kids that love still wins while telling the truth about villains, violence, and complexity. From there, we widen the lens: how media, awards, and cultural incentives shape our minds; why training attention matters; and how to choose inputs that elevate rather than drain. Practical tools show up throughout—meditation, breathwork, compassionate boundaries, and small daily choices that build a stable field of calm around you. Six feet of light is our shorthand for presence you can feel: less judgment, more rest, clearer speech, and steady action.We also tackle the big questions that keep surfacing: if abundance exists, why does scarcity persist? How do we move from victimhood to conviction without becoming cynical? Our answer is simple, if not easy—align what you consume, fund, and celebrate with the world you want. Invest in teachers and trainings that expand awareness. Withdraw attention from content that glamorizes harm. Support music, art, and stories that nourish the psyche. The silent war between fear and love is not won with slogans; it’s won with disciplined hearts and everyday bravery.If this conversation stirred something—hope, anger, clarity—lean in.
