In my last post, I suggested that the current crisis might be a natural consequence of our failure to engage actively with the deeper reality that underlies human society, in which case it could in fact be a gateway to a profound transformation of our society.

I’ve found myself reading this piece over and over. The first time I had to read slowly. The second time was necessary because I still hadn’t fully understood it the first time. The third time because I saw I was beginning to get my head around it and suspected that there was more to understand. This experience threw my mind back to your previous piece (‘Beyond Reason) that alluded to your exasperation over the lack of apparent interest in your efforts. It has me wondering if most just don’t have the time to consider anything so deeply due to the day to day pressures of life rather than a lack of interest 🤔
Yes, that's very likely true. Though 'exasperation' isn't quite right (not these days anyway): I keep trying different avenues and, when each one turns out to be a dead-end, I look for another one. That process has forced me to refine my vision of what's needed and, at some point, I expect I will find the support I need.
