Creed & Culture

NOTE

McGilchrist understanding the divine while granting granting religious BS exists

A rediscovery of the sacred is essential to prevent the decline of civilization, as highlighted by Solzhenitsyn's observation about the consequences of forgetting God. The concept of the divine should not be limited to outdated interpretations but rather understood as a wise engagement with a complex and rich cosmos. Recognizing the sacred enables us to explore fundamental questions about humanity and purpose, which require deeper contemplation rather than simple solutions. Change must start from within individuals, emphasizing the importance of personal transformation over mere practical actions. Each person's unique contributions are significant and can collectively reshape perceptions of the world. Ultimately, altering one's mindset is crucial for personal fulfillment and the broader celebration of human existence, indicating that practical and profound changes are intertwined and essential for a thriving future.
