The spiritual dimension of life has seen resurgence in the last two decades of the twentieth century. Speakers and individuals had been learning how we had been “made to love”. Even forests have been felled in order to provide the pulp necessary for books on this movement alone. With their combination of eastern mysticism, occult practices, self help psychology and idolizing of the God within. Books writers are seeking to meet the needs of spiritually starving world. But the fruitless searches at the end of successive rainbows have left many people weary and disillusioned with their inner emptiness still unsatisfied. A new search for meaning, purpose and values has begun with a recognition these are to be found in spiritual values.
The tragedy is that the church and its message have by and large been particularly rejected. This tragedy is of immense proportions because while the new age ideas focus on human dignity and potentials, they fail to deal adequately with the feelings of human nature. The damning evidence can be seen in our own lives. At times we are capable of producing tender acts of love, unfettered creativity and words that bring hope and healing. Yet! We change like Tom and Jerry character, revealing a selfish grasping love of ourselves and destructive impulses and producing thoughts and words of hate and malice. As one actor said of his profession “in our business, everyone wants to be Jesus Christ and ends up being Judas Iscariot.” The bible informs us, we are made in the image of God and created human beings reflect their creator. All human beings bear within themselves the likeness of God even though it has become grotesquely married.
