The Disease Growing within Us

Tragic circumstances are neither coordinated events nor isolated actions born simply from maniacal factions and figures who seek to harm or destroy those with whom they disagree.
These calamities we experience, and witness with ever greater frequency, are symptoms of a deeper crisis within modern civilization itself.
The disintegration of human value, the emptiness of modern existence, and the discontinuity, fragmentation, and chaos within each individual have created a vacuum that feeds an increasingly diabolical collective consciousness.
It is a disease growing within all of us. And it requires a remedy.
To create one, we need to consider how these conditions are produced from the dissolution of spiritual depth and continuity. In other words, the underlying personal and communal misfortune is based in a broad, deep spiritual malady that infects the person and spreads throughout the body politic.
It's long past time to embrace a serious, sober, and sacred spiritual renewal.
