Touching the Face of God
Society it would seem is on a terrible spiral of self-gratification. It’s in the texts we send and the never ending inane conversations of where the next party will be or who’s wearing what. The lack of contemplation of who we are and what we will become is driving the human race back to the days of cave dwelling. What can we do about it?
Young people throughout the world are given to immediate self gratification. Their drive toward superficiality in this money driven society has stolen the power of their possibility and left them with soul. But who can blame them when greed is the synonym for politicians and control is the synonym for religion.
Our job in being human is to lift ourselves up and become something better tomorrow than what we are today. Faith, love, curiosity, imagination, altruism, exploration…are the tools by which we grow. Filling the needs of our physical nature stands in opposition to growth. There is no love or joy in wandering this planet as slaves to the empty fulfillment that physical needs demand.
Every time we speak out against governmental corruption and refuse to succumb to Hollywood’s disgusting renditions of society’s regard for low morality, we grow. It is not only in our power to fight the pressures of physical needs, but it is our responsibility. As spiritual beings we are not only better than that, but we are more than that.
We need to look within ourselves and find that spiritual spark of who we really are. Then we need to fan that spark and let it grow to consume our wasted physical needs. We should all stand on the precipice of devolving human society and say, “no more”. Reach out to one another and give comfort. Be patient. Be kind. Give love to a world that would rather kill itself off than face another torturous day of empty desires.
Encourage each other to grow. Reach beyond our grasp and let hope and faith lead us toward a positive human evolution based on spiritual growth. Climb up on the rock of love and face eternity with the knowledge that we have added more than we took. Then as we stand upon that rock and surmise the joy we have brought, then we can turn to our spirits and boldly reach out and touch the face of God.
