Crisis and
chaos: that is the present configuration of our world.
Ah, you don’t
believe… But it is true. There is at least one crisis in your country right
now. Maybe it is ecological or political, ethical or social; it may be
incipient, mature or old… No, it is not normal, at least in the past – let’s
say, 16th century – it was quite uncommon and if you look at history
records you will see years and years passing by without any mention of a big
problem, for a long time and at many places.
Ok, but
what is a crisis? A simple definition is an unexpected
change that creates a bad sensation in most of the affected people. By unexpected I mean a change people were not ready to face. Probably older
times were more predictable and easy to deal.
It is also
certain there is chaos at least at a country in your continent. It may be in
the form of confusion or a social situation that goes beyond the capacity of
that place. Maybe it is a country with so much corruption, which structure is
fallen apart.
How to deal
with crisis and chaos? Yes, there are many techniques, but as these situations
become more and more common why not taking in consideration a very different
possibility?
Spirituality
may be the solution a few people dare to suggest. It won’t solve crisis or
chaos, but it will contribute with a different approach towards life. At one
hand, it will minimize their effect on the person. On the other hand, it will
help to keep a clear mind and a very sharp intellect, so that a solution is
found.
So,
whenever you realize you should deal with that crisis and you should be careful
about chaos, go and sit in meditation… that is the best and perhaps the only
way to tap into one’s own spirituality.
When you do
that, you will feel circumstances don’t affect as much as they used to, and you
start to affect situations, becoming a real change agent.
