And so millions, maybe billions of people are in search of new spirituality - meaningful spirituality. Traditional answers are that it feels right, gives us peace in a troubled world, assures us that there is something beyond death and the grave. If spirituality is just about feelings, then it is no surprise so many have turned to drugs. The feelings are immediate, shockingly real and require no great commitment. Even among those people who try to live morally, ethical behavior often extends itself only those people who they know personally or with whom they have direct contact.
Money is everything.
Money is a problem - not because it is money, but because it has been given far more value than it either needs or deserves. Rather, organized spirituality ought to be concerned with what behavior results from our spirituality. It is reasonable to ask whether spirituality needs to be organized. Some individuals will need religion, while others will not but we do need a framework which embraces all belief systems that are life-affirmative, which uplift the spirit and and do not destroy it. We don't propose that such a model, once developed, be imposed by law or by violence, but by the force of the human spirit.
