Spirit will empower us, because spirit is inner power. And finally, spirit will reenchant the world with its mysterious and magical qualities. But we cannot accept these gifts without also accepting responsibility for their use. The shadow side of community can be deadening conformity. The shadow side of empowerment can be arrogance.
Passion can turn into fanaticism.
And mystery without understanding can be kooky or terrorizing. Even the healing power of the spirit must be tempered with knowing when not to heal, for to relish life is to accept death. When Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humans, we lost the innocence of other animals. We are different, and we have a special role to play in evolution, particularly in the profound transformation we are now going through. The Great Spirit is counting on us.
