A Comprehensive Analysis of the Covid-19 Crisis

[zedro]

Wouldn't you agree that what is witnessed outside is just a shadow of the spiritual war happening inside each of us? By extension making a solution less effective if it is aimed at working primarily on the outside.

The first part of your statement is called karma (catalyst born from the matrix/potentiator), the second part is one of the aspects in reaction to it (experience). You cannot insulate the 'internal' via 'external' working, there is no purely 'external' working, it all feeds back internally. But you can certainly limit or divert yourself from lack of discernment (significator) thus being 'less efficient' in your growth.

This is where I get into the potential of bypassing, by oversimplifying the methodology of growth. For example, if you are trying to work on 'non-reactance', you could go different ways:
A- ignore/shelter yourself from the external circumstances that would trigger you, and learn how to exist in a sheltered state, and remain completely internalized, or...
B- face the potential emotional calamity from the external circumstances in order to explore why it is a trigger, and learn how to integrate and transmute the 'suffering' into 'knowledge' (what I would call the warriors path). 
Now the differences in above may be subtle and mixed, but in this presentation, 'A' would/could be considered bypassing depending on ones goals, especially if it artificially creates the illusion of acceptance through denial. No doubt it could be suitable for the 'Monk on the Mountaintop' incarnational objective, or potential end goal, but this to me is only valid once you have completely processed karma and one's shadow, otherwise you are simply hiding from catalyst/experience, thus eliminating further significant growth, except for the horrible realization of such which leads to grief/regret, and thus more karma to rectify the situation.

I was in a playful mood...

I would explore whether or not it is only a passive gesture from a 'mood', or a catalysing reaction from the potentiator of mind.
