What is your deeper prayer for these times?

What are you praying for these days?Is it to end violence? To stop genocide and war? Peace for all people?Yes, of course, those prayers are there, but there's something even deeper my heart is longing for.It's the prayer that all we're experiencing right now—the despair, the terror, the confusion—may it bring us closer to our souls. May it help us know ourselves and this world at a soul level more intimately. Not just for ourselves, but for this greater time of transformation itself. In today's episode, I explore where we are collectively as a society using mythologist Michael Meade's framework of the Three Layers of Life:The First Layer - The everyday world. The surface level where "everything is fine." Normalcy, facts, and ordinary expectations rule the day.The Second Layer - Dysfunction and upheaval. Where shadows live—our deeper anxieties, fears, and ego. This is where we are now, collectively. The cracks in the First Layer are everywhere, and we feel them in our bodies.The Third Layer - The layer of the soul. Where spiritual fruits live—Universal Love, deep wisdom, interconnectedness, and grace. This is where we go when we spiritually awaken, and it’s right on the other side of Layer Two.So many of us are crumbling under the weight of everything right now, which makes sense. But, as odd as it might sound, this is actually an opportunity for us to connect more deeply with our own souls, especially as it relates to the times we live in. Take a listen and explore returning to your soul and helping your community do the same. Our world desperately needs it right now.Know someone who has been feeling the weight of everything recently?
