Back to nature

The modern world desperately needs a social revolution, and of a kind unknown to recent decades. Revolution in this case, does not necessarily imply an armed revolt or other aggressive measures. What it probably means is a quiet, nearly unnoticeable shift back to natural ways, a spiritual coup whose sheer strength of love and clarity overwhelm old world methods with a minimum of friction. In a variety of ways, a spiritual revolution has been attempted many times in recent history, yet a primary ingredient for lasting success in changing the human condition was missing. In our efforts to improve the inner state of our species we have relied too heavily on our own conceptions of spirituality, just when the need to simply listen to nature for spiritual advice was the greatest. Within nature the voice of God speaks to us through forest, stream and ocean. Our distant ancestors listened, but we seem to have forgotten how to receive natural wisdom. It is our needful task to re-learn this sacred ability.
