“Only an instant does this world endure.”
The images you see in the world will pass. They will pass one after the other as you gradually develop the skill in staying your focus on the good and the lovely in you and in whatever you meet. Love, Joy and Peace are what everything is made of and they are eternal.
Distress, sadness and depression are states of mind that are seemingly justified by the images in the world they themselves have conjured up. They are a sign of a misunderstanding that is going on in your mind. In a way they are an invitation to let go and ask for inner guidance to lead you into the Light.
When more and more you find the willingness within to let go and instead fill your mind with the good and the lovely, those sad images will cease to come to you. They will vanish, as will time in which they appeared.
