We can't. Problems and contrast are the main thing that is allowing the universe to be constantly expanding. With every answer comes another question... with every fulfilment of a desire comes another one...because we can never stop thinking for some reason.

If there were no problems in the world, there wouldn't really be a need anymore to search for the world within or move our inward quest forward, right?

I think that while we live on this planet problems WILL be a prime motivator.

There what provides a contrast after all.

The way I did it was just like that: I decided that I will work on my self. It is as simple as that. Once I've taken that decision the outside problems and distractions would wait for me to end my work within to come and compete for my attention.

Thank you, namaste

I can continue to be the best person that I can be, by working with others in a positive way, and when a problem arises, I can continue to problem solve in a positive way to the best of my ability, but I would not let anyone take my power away from me for selfish reasons. It is a case of knowing ones’ self!

Dear Back2Basics. The core substance is formless and form is given by mental action. The only lever to this formless substance to go take a form is through the thoughts. There needs to be no issue or something to get your attention from mundane world. Whether at work or not, whether at a party or alone, the mental action keeps going and shapes our reality. The real challenge is staying focused on the outcome you want to accomplish and not think of anything else that you do not want to take form. For example thinking of health, wealth and happiness even when you are not.... Hope that helps.

The world within is the Alpha and Omega. It is all of creativity past, present and future. It is the Akashic Records where all knowledge is accessed. We are the problem with our interpretations. We are singular in thought trying to interpret infinity. A problem can't be separated from our perception, because WE are the filter. For one person's situation, there could be a problem, for another, just a minor setback. You have the answer already in you. Through the silence of your thought comes the access to the Records within.

Let love be your motivator, do it because you want to help create a better world. I don't think to have 'problems' must be a motivator, I believe love must be the main motivator.
