bleed in society.In this great work, often anonymous, engage workers of various faiths, as well as persons linked to various movements, religious or not. It has, then, the spiritual movement an important position, precisely because has been conducting increasingly steady work education, assistance and spiritual uplifting, without which there will be no man's improvement in profound terms.It would be difficult to establish an accurate diagnosis of social ills. Each faces problems through a prism, according to their training and their inclinations. There is a point, however, where the intelligence of the most shrewd and dispassionate think of a convergent way: society was deeply resents the lack of ethical values. It follows the sharp and frightening gap between material development and spiritual progress.The business world, in large part, is more focused on the immediate success without the worry of knowing what should and what should not be lawful. Ethics is entirely out of the question in many cases. It is natural that there is economic hustling, as is natural and necessary to enrich the technological equipment, but it is also necessary, if not essential, that does not despise the ethical side of the transactions.There must be a moral compass point in human ambitions.

Of course, Schweitzer was not a dreamer, but an observer of human reality.Well, for over a century - it is good that a lot of people know this - the Doctrine already spoke about this issue, as if anticipating the situation today. Recourse only to the question 785 of "The Spirits' Book": There are two kinds of progress that are mutually supportive and that, however, did not march in parallel: the intellectual progress and moral progress. The balance between the two orders progress is a matter of time, according to the spiritualist school.There have been a lot of progress, undeniably, institutions, science, and so on, which, incidentally, is provided in spiritualist text, but the events of this half century succeed so and so aggressively that require more reflection respect for ethical standards to avoid as much as possible, greater social debacle.All movements concerned with spiritual problems, though not neglect the earthly problems, one
