"Sacred Eyes" - A Look into Humanity's Soul

Thoughts from L. Robert Keck in his book Sacred Eyes:

If we look deeply into humanity's soul we can see a new hope emerging, in spite of all the despair that so characterizes the surface.

If we look deeply into our soul we can see an emerging spiritual meaning and purpose, in spite of what dominates mass culture - institutions and dogma that are all but bankrupt for the faithful, and a spiritual malaise permeating the lives of those who have left organized religion.

If we look deeply into the soul of our times we can see an epoch-sized transformation of the human psyche - a growth spurt in spiritual maturity - in spite of the chaos of clashing revolutions and counter-revolutions filling the daily newspapers.

It is through the cultivation of sacred eyes that we can accomplish this depth of vision.

More "Sacred Eyes" in my next post. If this "speaks to you", you can buy the book on Amazon.com for $15 new, or on abebooks.com for $1 for a good used book.
