MOVING TOWARD A SPIRITUAL CULTURE

Our next step in living the new spiritual awareness begins with a shared intuition of where our evolution in consciousness is leading. What would be happening, for instance, if everyone were living the new awareness as we have described it so far? How would the human culture change? Pursuing the answers to these questions begins to open us up to an inner vision of human destiny, and I believe we can already see aspects of our culture in transformation. THE IMPORTANCE OF TITHING Ubiquitous among the classic mystical literature is the assertion that there exists a universal law of giving and receiving. Whether it is the biblical concept of ''reaping what we sow'' or the law of karma in the East, religions teach that our intentions and actions return to us, for better or worse. ''What comes around goes around'' is the contemporary way of expressing this idea. Many religious and mystical thinkers have applied this principle to the ideal flow of money in society, relating this esoteric idea of cause and effect to the scriptural idea of tithing. Charles Fillmore, founder of Unity Church, Napoleon Hill, and Norman Vincent Peale all made the case that giving of our love and energy, including the giving of money, always creates an effect in the world that brings even more money and opportunity back our way. As far as I'm aware, no one has done any formal research on this matter, but the anecdotal evidence in support of this principle, as more people try the process for themselves, seem to be mounting rapidly. One problem in the past has been that traditional churches, influenced by the old paradigm that removed the mystery and miracle from the univers, spoke of tithing only during their yearly fund-raising. That made people feel tithing was just a way to support churches. However, I believe that our open sharing of spiritual experience in recent decades is quickly broadening our understanding of the tithing process. The belief seems to be growing that the act of giving engages a metaphysical process totally congruent with our knowledge that the universe is responsive. Another issue in the past has been where to give our tithes. Some people still believe that only founded churches qualify, because they are the keepers of the faith and provide a constant stream of spiritual information. Others say that any gift of charity is essentially a tithe and thus engages the universe for a response. I think what we are discovering is that tithing is a process that must always be integrated into the rest of the synchronistic movement in our lives. In other words, we will know where to give based on the synchronicity of the situation. From that view, tithes are of two kinds. One is intuitive, a response to an urge to give money to an individual or organization because we feel inwardly directed to do so. A friend of mine says he is guided by this question: If God couldn't come and sent you instead, what difference would God have made in the situation? At the highest level, we give because we are there. If we don't respond to the situation, who will? The other kind of tithe, and the one that is especially significant for the transformation of human society, is the tithe that is given to our sources of spiritual information-that is to say, to the specific sources of our everyday synchronistic moments. Because churches and spiritual organizations can bring us information at just the right time, they will certainly continue to be the beneficiaries of tithes, but so will individuals. As we've seen, it is almost always the messages coming from other people that lead us forward in our journey. Tithing is a way to respond. Let's imagine for a moment that everyone who is living his or her synchronistic growth begins to tithes others in this manner. A whole new type of economic flow would begin. We would give money spontaneously to the people who brings us messages, and, as we told our truth to others, money would come to us in exactly the same way. (On a personal note, I've received many tithes, and my policy is to pass on the money with a tithe of my own. And I would ask anyone who might want to tithe me in the futur to please forward that money to a local charity.) I believe spontaneous giving is supplementing our economic system, confirming the idea and the faith that synchronicity can supplement and extend the sole focus on logical planning held by the old paradigm. We are not giving up the large networks of people we already do business with in the usual economic way. We are spontaneously adding to them, freeing the whole global economic system to jump to a higher level of productivity. THE NEW ECONOMY Introducing the practice of synchronistically tithing also helps us adapt to several other economic trends that are disturbing: the downsizing of industries, businesses, and corporations and the stagnation of wages in the developed countries because of global competition. Downsizing is not possible unless the remaining employees can increase their porductivity, which is exactly what computers and improved communication systems allow. Increased wage competition is to be expected if the rest of the world is going to participate in the level of creativity we in the developed nations have achieved, so this trend will continue and we must adapt. This certainly doesn't mean that we should encourage developing countries to make the same mistakes that we have made, such as the wasteful use of resources or the exploitation of workers, but most of us would agree, I think, that they have a right to participate in the world economy. So how do we deal with these issues? First of all, we have to see the larger picture of the economic evolution. In the United States, some of the most watched economic indicators are those measuring productivity, the amount of goods and services produced per unit of labor. If our production goes up, we think our economy is healthy and growing. Yet we must ask the question, where will this process end? Every year fewer and fewer people will provide ever more of the basic necessities of life. Our challenge is to think of this evolution not as negative, but as extremely positive, because out of this process will ultimately come the liberation of our creative attention. We can see, I believe, that much of what we are going through is part of the destined economic evolution of the world, and we can orient ourselves best by becoming conscious of the process. In the short run, we have to adapt to the shift from industrial manufacturing, which will become ever more automated, to jobs and businesses providing not goods, but information. And the data show that we already are. In the United States, increasingly more people are going into business for themselves-yet these businesses are not chiefly retail or storefront businesses requiring high amounts of capital; they are niche jobs, run out of individual's homes. In America, nearly 35 million households now have a flexible home business, and most of these jobs are in the information sector. But I believe we can see in the long run that eventually our basic necessities will be totally automated and that our economic life will orient almost completely around the flow of timely information. At first, this will be information concerning the automation process, but eventually it will reflect our evolution into a spirtual culture and will involve information of a purely spiritual nature. The implementation of tithing into the system will obviously facilitate this process, at first supplementing our incomes as the economy shifts, and then gradually replacing the old system of charging for our services with a system whereby one tells one's truth in an ongoing flow of synchronistic encounters and receives money as the recipients give tithes. As outrageous as this sounds from the point of view of the old competitive paradigm, I believe we can see that such a system is inherent in the operation of capitalism. As we shall discuss later, if we are truly motivated by the capitalist principle of finding a need and filling it, this is the only possible futur for our economy. The first stage in setting up such a system would be a basic right to ownership, through stock perhaps, of the automated industries. This would garantee access to the needs of subsistence, after which we would earn income by providing synchronistic information and services. Eventually, under such a system, we could stop using currency altogether, just as science fiction writers have prophesied. This assumes, certainly, that the new spiritual awareness as we've pictured it so far has become a human reality. In addition, key technological discoveries would have to take place, including a low-cost source of energy. But we are closer to these discoveries than ever before. According to Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, we are on the verge of making practical several new energy sources, including the much debated process of cold fusion. If a lower-cost energy can be integrated into the world economy, automation will soar. Most important of all, perhaps, is that we must begin now to live this new economic idea. Will there be economic ploblems along the way? If William Greider is right in his recent book One World, Ready or Not, we must be prepared for some economic disruption resulting from current financial speculating. According to Greider, the whole world is in the same position the United States faced in 1929: borrowing too much for the purpose of economic speculation. When the bubble burst in 1929, there was suddenly a general shortage of cash. Banks that had lent depositors' money for speculation failed and had to close their doors, and many lost their life savings. In response, the United States implemented limits on domestic borrowing and instituted deposit insurance, and many other governments did the same. But in recent years, in response to the growing world market, governments have allowed financial capital to cross borders without much regulation, so that now there is a growing amount of money that is invested and speculated internationally in exactly the same ways that created economic failure in 1929. Today, this worldwide speculation crosses all the major currencies, without any one government being able to do much about it. Huge amounts of money can be borrowed in one country and invested speculatively in another with few limits. Could there be a misstep, a meltdown, that could seriously jeopardize the health of one or more countries' banking system or currency? Of course there could. Such global problems only emphasize the need for local economies to become stronger. Synchronistic tithing can ground and circumvent problems resulting from other excesses. SYNCHRONICITY AND ENERGY What about the other shifts in human culture that are resulting from the new spiritual awareness? Perhaps most important is the continued expansion of our personal energy levels. Once we experience the full inflow of energy during a mystical experience and the synchronicity of our lives begins to reveal our personal truth, we can systematically institute in our lives -as we deliver this truth- ever higher degrees of this original mystical energy. In other words, as we stay on the synchronistic path, we are able to live at even higher states of energy. And is this not the process that has been behind human history and striving from the beginning? Ever since records have been kept, humans have grown stronger and lived longer with each successive generation. Further, human civilization has created ever more sophisticated exemples of what we have always called genius. A greater percentage of the world's population than ever before in human history now lives an inspired and energetic life. In the past, we have explained this progress in terms of secular materialism -that is, in terms of better food, better hygiene, and advances in medicine. Yet, as we have seen, the old materialistic world view is itself evolving into a new understanding in which we know that in reality there is no material. At the most minute levels, the atoms of our bodies fade away into mere patterns of energy, vibratory waves that can shift form and reconstitute themselves in amazing ways. Howelse can we explain events such as spontaneous healing in which tumors disappear or tissues regenerate virtually overnight? The progress of the generations is a progress of inspiration, faith, and confidence, and ever-increasing levels of inner energy. THE LESSON OF SPORTS If you speak with sports and exercice enthusiasts of all persuasions, you will find that most engage in the activity not because of the thrill of winning or to improve their appearance, but because of the inner rewards they feel. Running and other aerobic exercises bring on the thrill and euphoria of overcoming ''the wall,'' that feeling that one can go no further. And once the strenuous activity is over, participants report that they feel lighter, calmer, more coordinated, able to move more easily. We engage in sports and aerobic exercices because during and afterward we sense we are stronger, more energized, even smarter. And every year, we get better at it for a longer period of time. Bodybuilding, running, martial arts, tennis, ice-skating, jumping, golf, swimming, gymnastics -each has a perfomance envelope that is constantly being pushed outward as old records give way to new excellence. The old world view that reduces our bodies to muscles, bones, and ligaments has no real explanation for where this process will end. If pressed, a materialist will say that the human body will ultimately reach its full potential, so that a runner can then run no faster, or a weight lifter can raise not another pound, or a tennis player can surely not reach that ball blistered crosscourt. Yet, like the four-minute mile, every so-called barier will be crossed. We continue to move faster with better coordination and timing and lightness. So where will it end? The only answer that meets the facts is that it won't end. Sooner or later, those athletes running the 100-meter dash will be moving so fast that their bodies will instantly change form to respond to the will's certainty of what can be achieved. As they move down the track, they will be mere streaks of light. THE TESTIMONY OF THE YOGIS Throughout history, the East has produced men who have likewise pushed the envelope of human ability. In his important work The Futur of the Body, author Michael Murphy brought together an astounding collection of documented cases of unusual bodily transformation, including the ability to levitate, spontaneous changes in form, and the performance of unbelievable feats of strength. Many thinkers in the Eastern tradition consider these attributes the optimal result of yogic practice, still rare perhaps, but the expected outcome of years of meditation and movement practice. For centuries, the West has been completely astounded by such ability. The bible tells us that Jesus was seen to appear and disappear at will, walk on water, and so forth, but after Newton formalized the vision of a clockwork universe, such abilities were seen as magical or metaphoric, the stuff of myth of hoax, but certainly not an exemple of real human ability. Later, the Christian church explained these abilities as the mark of a deity, and certainly nothing that humans could possibly emulate. Yet as Michael Murphy has shown, examples of transcendent ability abound in both Western and Eastern history, and the awakening happening today includes a revision of what is possible not just for special adepts but for you and me as well. WHERE WE ARE GOING As we ponder these developments, we are envisioning how human culture will change in the future. And this vision will give us further courage to shift our lifestyles and fully embrace the spiritual world in which we live. The new world, as we have seen, can be one of great creativity and personal fulfillment. Imagine how life will be once most of the people we find ourselves talking with know the process and expect each conversation to be special and carry a message. The pace and style of human interaction will completely change, and this will quickly begin to impact the economy. Once enough of us understand and experientially prove that the principle of tithing works, we will embrace this process fully, synchronistically giving a percentage of our income to the source we feel urged to support. In the same way, opportunity and finances will come right back to us, quite magically, congruent with our expectations. The evidence is in the outcome. This giving economy will, as we discussed, first supplement our incomes as technological advances automate more and more of our material needs, and then will characterize the information age completly as our collective focus shifts from accumulating material security to engaging in the higher inspiration of synchronistic growth. And, once again, as the synchronicity continues and the inspiration soars, our bodies will be reaching even higher levels of energy until we become spiritual beings of light.
