Thread: The Question of the 21st Century

Dear Belisarius,

It has been mounting since perhaps the time when the Catholic Bishops, in the Scholastic Movement, fell in love with Aristotelean Philosophy and all became good Greek and bad Christians, but as each Century progressed, the Human Spirit drifted more away from Spiritual Awareness to the barraness of inferential logic and material isolationism.

The 20th Century has given us the extreme reach of this nihilistic materialism and individual isolation.

But it seems the Pendulum will now swing back. The Ball will take a bounce. The answer to the question, "If this is a Dream, where are we?" will be answered in two most very different ways by the rank materialist as from the Spiritualist. The materialist will stipulate that a Dream is virtually nothing in its meaninglessness, only being a circulation of garbage from the 'subconscious' mind. The Spiritualist will insist upon Higher and
Collective Influences from a Realm of Spirit that influence these Dreams, and that there are too many points in common between the dreams of everybody for us not to suppose that these Subjective Realities do not therefore have a True Existence... true enough to warrant serious attention.
