Whoa, quite a condemnation of the western political class. Good to see it said out loud.
Yes, but “service to self” isn’t only a problem widespread in politicians! It is a western widespread problem!
I suppose when our spiritual nature is ignored, denied and lied about, we create the world we have now.
As I get deeper into my meditation and energy work, even in a simple fashion, I feel a natural well of compassion spring up.
Once we truly sense that we are all one in God, all the same entity, then how can you hurt yourself through other people? Its beyond some New Agey platitude, it’s a physical feeling; we are programmed against self harm, and need to simply feel our true nature.
Good point, Chris!! I like the summation of Abe Lincoln’s “religion”…The Fatherhood of God; the Brotherhood of Man Come to think of it, sounds a lot like what the Urantia Book is about!!
