You reach an existential crisis. You look around you for the reasons. You take a mental snapshot of the world. Or your world. And attribute as best as you can.
There’s money. There’s sex. There’s gender. There’s race. There’s religion.
There are cars. There are houses.
There are corporations. There are political parties. There’s the president. Or the prime minister. There’s the Congress. Or the parliament. There are the courts.
And you come up with your best evaluation of the problems of the world. Or the country. Or your life. Or your group’s life.
It’s Money. It’s this party. It’s this neighborhood or that. It’s this group or gender or psychology or size or philosophy.
This is to be expected. But there are many other variables than the things you see in this photograph. There is more than meets the eye. There’s an entire film to look at.
If you could see through the superficial. And see all the variables. All the factors involved in the world. In your world. You might actually be able to solve your crisis.
People have thought the problem was money. Or politics. Or corporations. Or neighborhoods. For decades. If not centuries. That never solved the problems. In fact, it made them worse.
It turns out happiness. Satisfaction. Is an inside job. That emanates outward. Things like money and cars and houses and sex and what some call power flow from this emanation.
As does love. And philanthropy. And community. And family.
That turns out to be the way people have what they have. Why they look like what they look like. Why they are happy or satisfied. Or not. Why they are successful. Or not.
And the world follows. Your world certainly follows.
Money and corporations and churches and families and communities and nations are currencies of this emanation. This love.
Politics is most often an attempt to pirate this light. These currencies. To pirate your spirit.
