Are you interested in deciphering the subtle codes that influence the way we feel, behave and think and thus the way we interact with the world around us? Even a casual read of the newspapers of today reveals that the world we live in is in a bad way.
We are beset with problems that seem beyond our abilities to solve. Global warming, fundamentalism of many kinds, corporate malpractice, increasing levels of depression and stress, rising unemployment in the so-called developed countries.
The last 20 years has seen the gap between rich and poor increase at am alarming rate, both internally within each of the ‘developed countries’ and with these countries compared to those in the third World. There is today enough food on the planet to feed everyone but alas no political will to see that it happens. Meanwhile we consume non-renewable natural resources at an ever-increasing rate. On top of all this, terrorism and wars.
The great religions of the word have failed to encourage their followers to behave as their founders said they should, indeed within them, there is dissention and corruption on a scale that has caused many to question their very authority. On the other hand, there is an ongoing rise in religious fanaticism of every kind and those who lead it appear to be bent on creating mayhem and misery. Especially in Europe, people have lost faith in the political process to a point where fewer and fewer bother to vote in each successive election. Our interests are represented less and less by our political and governmental institutions and are often at odds with the prerogatives of the corporate world.
Even with the material progress we have made, the individual often feels left behind. We are bombarded with data faster than we can absorb it. Our dulled awareness allowed an inequitable socio political system to develop, which has led to a loss of ethics and a culture of escapism and trivia promoted and supported by the advertising and entertaining industries.
The answer to all this lies in the awakening of our inner system and our transformation into the beings we were clearly always designed to become. And as we transform ourselves so does the world around us.
