“The population that is forced by economic circumstance to buy unsafe meat – horribly suffering animals painfully and brutally slaughtered in front of lower income customers needing sustenance – is a tragic failure of intimacy.
It is but one expression of what we must together call our ‘Global Intimacy Disorder.’
But we do not live in a world where we can split off populations of the poor and their suffering – or populations of animals and their suffering – and go about our lives in peace.
It is One World, One Heart, One Love.
The key word is One.
We are all unique but we are unique expressions of the One Heart.
When we split of the suffering of any part of the One Heart, tragic virus is created. Today it is a pathogen but there are many other forms of catastrophic and existential risk that are possible. The invitation is to not go back to business as usual. There is nothing more tragic than wasting a tragedy.
Ultimately, all suffering is mystery. We can never give ultimate or certain explanations. But we can observe the fact pattern that precedes suffering and then take the mysterious fate of suffering and convert it into the destiny of personal and collective transformation.
The healing of the One Heart is no less than the Evolution of Intimacy.
But the Evolution of Intimacy cannot take place in a vacuum.
The Evolution of Intimacy can take place in the context of the deeper realization – rooted in the exterior and interior sciences – that we live in an Intimate Universe and the Intimate Universe lives in us.
And that evolution is the Progressive Deepening of Intimacies.
We are evolution and we must incarnate in our very hearts and bodies the Evolution of Intimacy.
We must reach for a new Evolutionary Intimacy where we feel the pain and joy of the world as our own.
There is nothing more beautiful or more sacred.
There is also nothing else that will allow us to move through this 11th Hour of humanity’s potential swan song and transform potential Dystopia to the most beautiful expression of life that ever existed on this planet.
Let’s emotionally hold hands, politically, socially, spiritually and existentially – even as we physically distance.
One Heart, One Love, One World.
Let us Reclaim Love as Religion and articulate together a practical Politics of Love.”
