I am also concerned when a culture supports religion over the importance of spiritual awareness. While we are waiting for Oz's enlightenment, my guess is - westerners do not spend nearly enough time living with spiritual awareness in their hearts and minds. To make up for lost time - long spiritual retreats are helpful to refresh our spiritual being and awareness. You know, make it our reality. Comparing one's awareness in a long retreat to our awareness in daily life western world, is an important contemplation. As you mention we always come back to whether we are experiencing inner peace, or not. Maintaining spiritual awareness in daily life is an important realization, for both an individual and a culture. That said, I'm forever trying to solve the spiritual riddle of being born into today's western world, with all it's materialism. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. If spiritual awareness can be experienced 24 hours a day, that would bring us all that much closer to the experience of heaven on earth. Peace be with you.
