Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind.
I'll tell you what: I believe mysticism is a very serious endeavor. One must be equipped for it.
What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.
I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power.

The unlimited power that many modern gurus offer is false hope. Their programs calling us to unlimited power have made them rich, not us. They touch our false selves and tap our toxic shame.
Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.
One wonders how far spiritual and political leaders can genuinely lead us without some degree of mystical seeing and action.
