Found some great writing in the Rowe newspaper for Spring 2012.\u00a0 This is what sent me on a search for Jan Phillips<\/a> and buying her book.\u00a0 These excerpts are from No Ordinary Time \u2014 The Rise of Spiritual Intelligence and Evolutionary Creativity by Jan Phillips.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur culture is in deep trouble and everybody knows it.\u00a0 Every institution is in its death throes.\u00a0 Half the world\u2019s scientists are engaged in war research.\u00a0 Religions insist on separating humans from God and humans from their earthiness.\u00a0 Capitalism has begotten a greed that is growing like a malignant tumor as we globalize our pathologies.\u00a0 People are returning to fundamental beliefs so they won\u2019t have to sort through the complexities of social matters and form their own opinions.\u00a0 Churches are silencing the prophets and absolving the perpetrators of crimes against children.
\n\u201cA culture can\u2019t lift itself out of dark and destructive mindset, but creative acts and ideas from a few can ignite the moral imagination of the many.\u00a0 …\u00a0 It\u2019s time to call God home, reconnect ourselves to the natural world, and proclaim the good news that as people on earth we share a single origin, a single community and a\u00a0 single destiny.\u00a0 …
\n\u201cEvery mystic and prophet alive today understands that their interests are not separate from anyone else\u2019s.\u00a0 Healing the wounds of the world is an act of self-interest.\u00a0 Mother Earth is healing herself through us.\u00a0 Every activity we engage in is both an activity of the universe and a human activity.\u00a0 The catastrophes of the times \u2014 the collapse of the economy, the failures of our institutions, the ineptness of war as a solution to any problem \u2014 all signs of a planetary mid-course correction.\u00a0 The earth as an organism will evolve, with or without us.
\n\u201cThe universe itself is the primary revelation of the Divine and it is continuing to unfold through our thoughts, words, lives, and creations.\u00a0 The Divine speaks through Nature, Nature speaks through us, and the sacred is communicated through our rituals and relationships.\u00a0 Like the whole world in a grain of sand, revelation is enfolded and unfolding in all directions.
\n\u201cOur conversations are not about<\/span> the Divine \u2014 our conversations are<\/span> the Divine.\u00a0 We are awash in the Mystery, saturated in sacredness.\u00a0 This is the awareness that will bring us to our knees, stop us in our self-indulgent tracks and return us to our senses.\u00a0 This is the kind of spirituality that can mean<\/span> something, lead to something that is poignant, personal, passionate<\/span>.\u00a0 This is our chance to BE<\/span> the ones we are waiting for \u2014 to be prophetic, poetic mythmakers conspiring in the evolution of a conscious culture, a compassionate culture.\u00a0 As my mystic friend David says \u201cWE is just an acronym to Who Else?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
