You might think we are being critical of the social system that humankind
have created, we are not being so. What we are doing is pointing out the lack
of spiritual awareness in its construct, and the disastrous effect this lacking is
having on the welfare of, not only the whole human race but also on the other
occupants of that planet and its environment. If this were to continue the earth
will be joining the countless planets in the universe that are desolate and
deserted, apparently devoid of any life. We say apparently because every part
of this universe has life in some form, God is present everywhere. One could
say where there is God there is life. This does not mean there is form. That a
form is human does not mean it is alive, it may just be a corpse, a form that the
Spirit has removed itself from. Eventually it will crumble away and reform as
the cells that could comprise another form such as the soil you walk upon.
Even then you can see life in that soil or see the soil is dead, and infertile. Of

consider the possible real meaning of this expression. In essence it refers to
people who have given their all to the project they are involved in. They are
completely drained of all energy, including spiritual energy, though they are

still supporting their body in the hope that the ego will relinquish its grip, that
the body will recover from the physical and mental exhaustion, and might have
lost its resistance to the changes that need to take place for the spiritual goals
to be achieved. This stage is most commonly observed in mental and/or
physical illness. It is not the result of hard work, rather it is the result of hard
‘thinking’. It is living through the ego and not through the Spirit, the body and
the mind has exhausted itself with poor return. Give love, get love, give labour
get paid. Payment will only help in the purchase the necessities of the body
and mind, but can never purchase the necessities of the Spirit incarnate. These
spiritual necessities are free to all and yet are priceless. The only ways they
