Spiritual conditioning has often told us to be separate from everyday life, to hide what is most precious from the crowds, from life around us.  This may have been appropriate at one time, when the inner life of the spirit was emphasized and everyday life carried the shadow of spiritual aspiration.  But those times have passed.  We can no longer afford to split ourselves in pieces, to darken our daily life with disdain or disgust and offer our hearts only to a pure and transcendent light.  Our love for God, our deepest and most sacred needs, must all be offered in every moment, to every detail of life.  We are here to help the world come alive with divine love, to awaken humanity to a new level of consciousness.  And this work cannot be done with an attitude of isolation , especially spiritual isolation.
