Luminescence of the Ordinary

Rick Haltermann's follow-up to Curriculum of the Soul explores diminishment of the sacred through short essays about personal stories, observations and elaborations. How does this loss appear? Through decreased civility, lack of imagination, and an abandonment of our innate intuition, instincts and common sense for the illusion found at the alters of technology.Our world, for the most part, is fear-based. That collective fear has created nuclear proliferation, war, prejudice, racism, misogyny, inequality and a fight against everything from drugs, cancer, heart disease, even nature. The dire consequences of this kind of thinking are at hand and on the rise.What if we rekindled a relationship to the sacred by slowing down and becoming more human? What if the brain became a partner with the heart and the gut? What if we shifted away from fear to a love-based vision that seeks the luminescence of the ordinary? This is the path-to find a new way to rescue ourselves so we can help all living things and beings along with our precious planet, Earth.
