Dear Readers:
In the coming weeks and months, I intend to write more about my idea that the direction of the future is Spiritward. (If you wish to follow my daily thoughts, I invite you to subscribe to my free Substack account.)
If you’re confused by the word Spiritward, I invite you to think of the words forward and backward. In this sense, spiritward reflects the idea that the future will not simply move in a materialistic direction, it can also move in a more spirit-focused direction.
As a professional futurist, I often tell my clients that “the present” is becoming increasingly crowded with overlapping futures due to the staggering amount of technological, economic, political, cultural, social, demographic and environmental change the world is currently experiencing.
My thesis is that there exists “a golden thread” running through each possible future scenario and this “thread” is the connection between the human soul and Spirit.
It is also my contention (actually this is more of an intuitive feeling) that this spiritual thread is more powerful than all of the aforementioned trends combined. And, if properly recognized and harnessed, this renewed soul-Spirit connection will determine our future destiny.
Our task, as I see it, is to weave this spiritual thread into the fabric of our being. If we are successful, this “at-one-ment” between soul and Spirit will positively shape our short term future as well as advance humanity in its next evolutionary leap in the long, long run.
