Everything else in the world of form simply becomes a reflection of that inner choice.... no matter what that form looks like externally (including Ukraine... and our everyday lives).
Myra discusses p. 15-20 in Ken Wapnick's book "Healing The Unhealed Mind."

but... you're not!
Tim discusses the sudden brilliance of the holy instant... when healing flashes across our mind when we acknowledge and let go of our judgements and grievances (with Jesus' help of course).
Lyn discusses the way Jesus sees all of us (and leaves no one out), is also the way i can see and know our own one true Self (Using Les. 188).
Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play.
It was designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games, which teach them that the game of fear is gone. His game instructs in happiness because there is no loser.
Everyone who plays must win, and in his winning is the gain to everyone ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside, when children come to see the benefits salvation brings.
(from Les. 153 par.12)

In this current global crises our daily routines are being challenged at every level... work, social, spiritual, etc.
