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.
