00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.679
If my inner life is dominated
by fear

2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.360
what would I expect to
see in the outer world?

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.359
I'd expect to see conflict.
I'd expect to see people building walls.

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.800
I'd expect to see all kinds
of expressions of fear.

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.559
But if my inner life, if I say well,
I don't want fear to control me;

6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:25.120
I want to see love and joy
and peace and patience

7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.600
and those other kind of fruits be
what my life is characterized by,

8
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.079
then if you have enough people cultivating
that kind of inner world,

9
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.799
we begin to make great
changes in the outer world.
