Wisdom’s Vacuum

The vacuum of wisdom within our culture infiltrates every aspect of our lives. It permeates our reality, it permeates our bodies, thoughts and emotions, and unless we seek wisdom out, we remain blind to this absence. We do not understand on a fundamental level the experience that wisdom imbues us with. This is because we have little experience, if any, as most wisdom lineages have been broken very long ago.

Every activity, every institution, every political party, every endeavor, every mind state that is perpetuated by the status quo, the bourgeoisie, and the creators of The New Normal, is steeped in the very absence of wisdom. The absence of wisdom is not ignorance, it is insanity.

Nature brings incredible beauty, harmony, and a profound mystical order. The machine and it’s materialistic counterparts bring disharmony, the absence of mystery, control and regulation, resulting in a sort of pervasive chaos. This is what the great spiritual philosopher Rudolf Steiner termed scientific materialism. Scientific materialism reigns supreme today. The absence of mystery wisdom brings the obscenity’s that we bear witness to.

When we take the courage to seek, and to experience life beyond the constructs of this strange and deeply misguided culture, life utterly transforms. We see this culture for what it is:

A prison for the Spirit.

Can you imagine a different paradigm?

Can you imagine a world based upon the exaltation of mystery, the divine experience of the cosmos and life itself? Can you imagine a culture that uses nature’s sacred blueprint as its template, fashioning the structures of it’s world out of this tremendous beauty?

The imagining is our first step towards the creation of a vision for a New Earth.
