CHANGING & CHALLENGING TIMES

CHANGE & the Danger of Old Habits

 

We live in challenging times, times of great change in the areas of the Environment, Politics, Religion and Social Unrest. We are a species blessed with Reflective Consciousness  but also 'programmed' to focus on the negative and resist change.

 The dangers in both the political and religious areas is this; in times of great change there is a tendency to cling on desperately to the old.  This also leads to  over-romanticism about the past and a tendency to be attracted to leaders ( normally male) who offer simple solutions to complex problems. This is certainly true in both Politics and Religion.

 I fi8nd the following quote  from Neale Donald Walsch, a Christian Writer, taken from his book ' Conversations with God' very helpful.

 

 This conveys a wise message to all who are dedicated to real change both in our politics and religions. 

Spirituality-Religion & Politics - RECLAIMING JESUS

SPIRITUALITY-RELIGION AND POLITICS

We live in turbulent times. The 21st Century has given rise to another Evolution in Human Consciousness and, as in the past, each change gives rise to turbulence and confusion.

All the great Religions remind us that Spirituality cannot be separated from Religion and Politics. To that end readers may find this link helpful

LIVING LIKE A RIVER

LIVING FREELY IN THE MOMENT

The Irish Poet and Philosopher John  ( 1956 - 2008) has had a great impact on the world and my life.  I well remember reading his first acclaimed work Anam Cara ( Soul Friend) In his short, but powerful, life he managed to capture the 'essence' or 'soul' of Celtic Spirituality.

I love this short quote of his , which speaks of the importance of living life freely in the moment. It sp;eaks of the wisdom we can all learn from Nature. It compares a life lived to a river from its Source to its final entry into the sea.

This simple 'message' contains much of the Perennial Wisdom.  Read, reflect and enjoy.
