神:正視【人類社會的問題是個「靈性」的問題】
神:正視【人類社會的問題是個「靈性」的問題】
別以為靈性與政治不能混在一起。政治是被展現出來的靈性。 (Politics is spirituality, demonstrated.)
別以為經濟與靈性無關,你們的經濟正透露出你們的靈性。 (Your economy reveals your spirituality.)
別認為教育與靈性是能夠或應該分開的。因為你們所教導的就是「你是誰」——而如果這不是靈性,那麼什麼是靈性?
並且,別以為宗教與靈性並不是同一樣東西。靈性是在身、心與靈之間建起一座橋樑的東西 (Spirituality is that which builds a bridge between the body, the mind, and the soul.)。而所有真正的宗教,都是建造一座橋樑,而非一道牆壁。
因此,做個造橋者吧!拉近宗教之間、文化之間、種族之間及國家之間所形成的縫隙。把被拆成四分五裂的東西連結在一起吧!
讓你們在宇宙的家增光,而成為它的好管家吧(be its good steward 成為好的服侍者、看護者)。保護和拯救你們的環境。更新和分享你們的資源。
籍由給彼此榮耀而給你的神榮耀。看見每個人之內的神,並且幫助每個人在他們自己之內看見神。停止你們之間的分裂與對抗、你們的競爭與戰鬥、你們的戰爭以及你們所有的殺戮。終止它們。所有的文明社會最終都會那樣做。

Do not imagine that spirituality and politics do not mix. Politics is spirituality, demonstrated.
Do not imagine that economics has nothing to do with spirituality. Your economy reveals your spirituality.
Do not think that education and spirituality can, or should, be separate. For what you teach is who you are—and if that is not spirituality, then what is?
And do not imagine that religion and spirituality are not one and the same. Spirituality is that which builds a bridge between the body, the mind, and the soul. All true religions build a bridge, not a wall.
So be the builder of bridges. Close the gaps that have formed between religions, between cultures, between races, and between nations, join together what has been put asunder.
Honor your home in the Universe, and be its good steward. Protect your environment and save it. Renew your resources and share them.
Give glory to your God by giving glory to each other. See God in everyone and help everyone see God in themselves. End your divisions and your rivalries, your competitions and your battles, your wars and all your killing forever. End it. Put an end to it. All civilized societies finally do.
