Someone I know rejected a statement I made wherein I mentioned that there is a terrible spiritual crisis in our society. He claimed there was none.

I must, of course, disagree.

Our souls are sick. Our hearts are fighting – or willingly embracing – a disease. Intellect alone cannot solve this. What good is intellect when we have forgotten what it means to be truly human? In such a state, our intellects will only doom us.

The false idols our minds make of things we see, or think we see, are betraying us. Our invented ideologies are betraying us, and forcing us to turn against our brothers and sisters, and wreak unspeakable violence and ruin upon the world while claiming we are making peace.

There is a belief / myth that we only use 10% of our brain’s capacity. How much of our heart’s and spirit’s capacity are we using? Probably a lot less than we think.

As I write this, there are some very disturbing things in the news. More than I can list here (without becoming sick to my stomach). But when I think and meditate on it, I keep coming back again and again to one indisputable fact: there are NO political solutions to any of this. Only spiritual solutions. Listen for the call to cooperation. This is where healing will be found.
