America Gearing Up For Spirituality

All the signs show that spirituality is on people's minds in the US and that is a very good thing (finally!!).

Here are some of the signs:

Good Sign #1

There are many articles on the whole science/religion issue of what to teach in American classrooms - I chose this one because of the brilliant title - A Life With No Purpose

I've often quoted Kabbalist and Scientist Rav Laitman on this issue and here it is again. He suggests supplementing current curriculums with a secular Meaning of Life course based on the wisdom of kabbalah. "Education is currently the biggest issue facing mankind because 20 years from now these youngsters will be all grown up and then we will understand exactly what we put into them. A person of any age who is exposed to kabbalah very quickly understands the structure of the universe and nature, beyond the world we grasp with our five senses. From my experience, children are more receptive to this material and automatically apply it to their everyday behavior."

Good Sign #2 -

This week's issue of Newsweek, called Spirituality in America. The article 'In Search of the Spiritual' is written by Senior Editor Jerry Adler who normally deals with science issues.

Headline: Move over, politics. Americans are looking for personal, ecstatic experiences of God, and, according to our poll, they don't much care what the neighbors are doing.

All I can say is Thank God - Americans may be bored silly at this point with their comfy lifestyles and are seeking a deeper meaning for being here.

If you want spirituality - a good place to start is the largest source of free spiritual content on the web at www.kabbalah.info. This site is quickly becoming a 24 hour broadcaster of free spiritual content from Israel.
