The Fix We're In
Planet Earth has a future, humans maybe not. If our species survives these next few years, it will because we have evolved spiritually.
We will have outgrown war. I think the Biblical reference to a "Garden of Eden" refers to a past epoch in which there really was "total harmony amongst Nature". "Survival of the fittest" is not set in stone. Charles Darwin, a great lover of Nature who wrote a whole book on earthworms, in his book "The Origin of Species" used the phrase "survival of the fittest" only 3 times, but used the word "love" more than 80 times.
The pain we are going through at present - high-tech war; climate change; ocean acidification; ecosystem collapse; destruction of the soil upon which we depend; refugees from both war and weather; more and more money possessed by fewer and fewer people while the rest become less economically stable; corrupt governments,... - this perfect storm of interconnected troubles - are the birth pangs of a new and better age.
It hasn't sunk in with most people yet that the changes are coming MUCH faster than expected because of the interaction of all of these problems.
But that doesn't mean we are helpless. On the contrary, human progress has gotten so far that, working together, we have enormous power.
As the Christian "God is Love" gets together with the "Love Revolution", we will find that there's a lot less differences between peoples than has been made out. As an example, the words, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" are correlated with three words in India. A book published in the 1940's, Autobiography of a Yogi, has advanced science, including quantum mechanics, that our overly materialistic scientists here in the West are only now catching up with. Yogananda, its author, not only quotes the great scientists of the time but visited saints of all cultures, including Christian, and witnessed their miracles. Albert Einstein said there are two types of people - those who don't believe there are such things as miracle, and those who believe that all reality is miraculous, and that he was of that category. He thought everything was miraculous. There are people in India who believe Jesus visited India during the 30 years he went missing.
Science and spirituality are two angles on the same thing. Those with the most REAL power are those unafraid to love. The fearers and fighters are destroying themselves. Think we're in a catastrophic time? It will get worse until we dismantle and transform the military-industrial complex.
