The way I see it we need a new kind of human being on our planet. We seem to be stuck in two camps, one is living in the past thinking that everything that happens is the cause and affect of what we do and has nothing to do with our spiritual awareness. The other believes that everything that happens is a direct result of conscious intention saying that all we need to do is "think positive." But as I observe the world around me I see the first camp doing nothing more than making things worse with everything they do and the second camp seems to be living in a delusion immersed in wishful thinking.
  

All too often I see my spiritual friends living lives that are not in line with their philosophy and my "down to earth" friends are living in a world that seems to have no remedy.  So it seems to me we need to find a balance in which we are spiritually active in the world around us making us what I call "Spiritual Activists."
