As the new spirituality begins to become the pervasive spirituality of the planet, we'll find that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.
There cannot be enduring peace, prosperity, equality and brotherhood in this world if our aims are so separate and divergent, if we do not accept that in the end we are people, all alike, sharing the Earth among ourselves and also with other sentient beings, all of whom have an equal role and stake in the state of this planet and its players.
The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Failure sometimes enlarges the spirit. You have to fall back upon humanity and God.
I do believe as human beings we are a great mass of contradictions.
Every human being is searching for a deep sense of meaning, and yet we're all chasing success. We've confused one for the other.
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
