INSIGHT 27

These insights, that were begun by Richard Dell right back in the early 1990s, touch on all the most meaningful and indeed important religious and spiritual issues of our times. They are the same now as they were then. These Insights see religion just as firmly grounded in the Earth and in the stars as it is in the spirit and in the heavens. Richard sees no distinction between the material and spiritual realms. ALL is ONE. This comes through so clearly in these Insights, and that is why the environmental movement – our awakening at last to the needs of Gaia, of our planet – is as important as any spiritual quest, as important as all our need for healing, and is and must be an integral part of that holistic oneness that we must achieve in all that we do. It is also why issues such as Black Lives Matter are deeply spiritual. Richard sees inclusivity as being at the core of all our spiritual and religious endeavours. ALL is indeed ONE. And that mantra is the key to humanity’s future evolution: spiritual, social and political.

INSIGHT 27: UNIVERSAL CONNECTEDNESS, GLOBAL CONNECTEDNESS, PERSONAL CONNECTEDNESS

What must, and hopefully will, characterize our new times is our awareness of our universal connectedness. The holistic approach to medicine; to our own selves as being body, mind and spirit – three in ONE – ; and to our intrinsic connection with our planet and the entirety of its flora and fauna, will inevitably and seamlessly bring us to a rational and all-encompassing, utterly inclusive, world view, opening up for us multi-faceted levels and degrees of consciousness. Conscious of our connectedness, we will again both inevitably and seamlessly embrace responsibility for ourselves and how we perceive ourselves, and for our world and how we perceive our world, and of course for each other, and how we perceive, appreciate and seek to cherish each other.
