Wake Up or Perish

The world’s problems are, by and large, human problems—the
unavoidable consequence of egoic sleepwalking. If we care to
look, all the signs are present to suggest that we are not only
sleepwalking, but at times borderline insane as well. In a manner
of speaking, we have lost (or at the very least forgotten) our
souls, and we try very, very hard not to notice, because we don’t
want to see how asleep we are, how desolate our condition really
is. So we blindly carry on, driven by forces we do not recognize
or understand, or even acknowledge.
We are no doubt at a very critical point in time. Our world
hangs in the balance, and a precarious balance it is. Awakening
to Reality is no longer a possibility; it is an imperative. We have
sailed the ship of delusion about as far as she can carry us. We
have run her ashore and now find ourselves shipwrecked on an
increasingly desolate land. Our options have imploded. “Wake
up or perish” is the spiritual call of our times. Did we ever need
more motivation than this?
