Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
The new articles' theme this week could be translated into these three words: Everything is important. From the ants on the wall, to the pain that we feel, to the ugliness we perceive in ourselves or others. Everything is in our lives with a message for the present, and to shine a light towards our future.
Please scroll down to the new articles of the week... from the Editor's Choices, to the 46 additional articles on various topics.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.

Why We're All In This Together
Written by Charles Eisenstein.
