POLITIKÁ (Part 1): Before | Jake Haber

As we count down the hours until Election Day, we reflect on the spirituality of politics, how to heal a divided nation, and the true meaning of "apocalyptic". 

 

Quotes:

 

Brian Zahnd:

“Jesus wasn’t about creating an alternative political regime, but rather, he offered an alternative vision for how human society should function—one rooted in love, compassion, and justice.” 

 

Buckminster Fuller:

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

 

Mother Teresa:

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

 

Joseph Campbell:

“Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon, but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end.”

 

Marianne Williamson:

“You must go through a period of emptiness to become full, through suffering to find peace, through confusion to discover clarity. The breaking apart is part of the journey to wholeness.”
