The Great Unspoken Tragedy of the Time - Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

The Great Unspoken Tragedy of the Present Time. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee There is an ecological devastation. That is very visible. You read the newspapers and it is accelerating, it is getting worse. Just earlier this year we read, as I said, the species in the ocean were depleting at a much faster rate that anybody had realized. It´s accelerating, it´s getting worse, it is the most visible tragedy of our time. It is in a way that the one thing that really matters, much more than economic crisis or political crisis or whatever it is, is ecological devastation. That is what we are going to leave our children and our grandchildren. And the spiritual side of that is in a way even more devastating because it means that life will have no purpose. If the sacred within creation goes out, if that sacred substance in creation that we were asked to nourish, we were asked to care for with our prayers, our devotions, our practices, that we are here to nourish, to make a relationship with, if that goes out, then life has no meaning, there is not purpose to being here from a spiritual perspective because nothing in life can nourish us. Nothing in life can feed our souls. We will become hungry ghosts. And this, to me, is the great unspoken tragedy of the present time.
