I have 15 fans: Become a Fan. You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEdNews
I am male, over-50, and live in the NYC metropolitan area. I would describe myself as politically and spiritually preoccupied.
I believe we (the human race) have arrived at a pivotal point in world history.
I also believe that while good and evil must always exist side-by-side, there are currently divine forces afoot which will dramatically change the current configuration.
I believe each of us is obliged to do our share in epediting the inevitable.
No matter what they say, Noam Chomsky is the current authority on secular matters, and should be read by every individual who believes that political reality is too complex/subtle to understand..
It's not.
Finally, I believe the secret of life is human action borne of conscience, meditation, service to humanity, and simply behaving appropriately, while not allowing oneself to be an out and out doormat. Practicing Ramana Maharshi's "Who Am I?" Self-Inquiry is the quickest way to salvation, self-realization, whatever you may call it. But generally this must be practiced only after many years of prepatory spiritual disciplines; such as repetition of the Name of God...
I'll add other stuff if and when it occurs to me to do so...
