Analyzing
Events from a Spiritual Perspective
by Gordon Davidson and Corinne McLaughlin
Watch or read the news with a new lens,
reflecting on problems and crises from a spiritual perspective:
-
Examine the inner, spiritual forces at
work behind events and meditate on the question: What are the deeper causes or
karma of an event or crisis?
-
Observe the spiritual
lessons being learned by those involved in an event or crisis--as well as by
each of us:
 |
analyze the symbolism of the
event to discern a deeper, spiritual message;
|
 |
understand the meaning of
the event by identifying with all the participants involved;
|
 |
develop compassion and
love for all those directly involved in the event or crisis;
|
 |
reflect on how the event
serves a larger purpose in human evolution.
|
Note the coincidence of
the timing of events and crises (including natural disasters) with collective
human thoughts and emotions. Can you identify any causal relationship?
