As the great spiritual master Adi Da Samraj
has emphasized, cooperation and tolerance are the necessary
foundation stones for a new world order. To fully understand
their importance, we first examine the old "cold war"
world order and the current "post-cold war" world order,
and track the consequences of the absence of one or both
of these foundation stones, and the implications for the
future. Globalization is not an end unto itself. At best,
it is the "ground" in which, practicing cooperation and
tolerance, we can "plant" and "grow" new cultures. |

David Almquist: Bashing
Gurus and Alternative Religions
|
| |
|
|
| Not too many years ago, it was common in our society
to make jokes indiscriminately about Afro-Americans, women,
homosexuals, and other minorities and ethnic groups. One
by one these groups protested, and eventually changes
occurred. But it is still officially okay, and in fact
quite fashionable, to denigrate gurus and their devotees.
Are we ready, as a culture, to take one more significant
step toward tolerance? |
