The ego which travels away from God eventually suffocates itself to death for a lack of energy. The best way to understand the spiritual evolution of the world is to look at how the politics of power and money affect it. That probably sounds odd. You are obliged to live and express your humanity and your spiritual self within the contest of the power structure into which you are born.
