We need to talk (seriously)...

A modern revival might be perceived in terms of talk.

Talk is private, talk is neither monitored nor controlled by The System: talk can happen (could already be happening) and nobody knows anything about it...

I mean people talking about spiritual and religious matters. Talking between husband and wife and in families; among friends; teachers, doctors, therapists.

People being asked questions serious questions, and then being judged on the seriousness of their answers (and impatiently rejected if they are unable to respond, instantly and directly, with commensurate seriousness).

People at work, in cafes or bars - having (or trying to have) serious talks about ultimate matters; impatiently shrugging-off the artificial and manipulative concerns of the mass media and the daily psychodramas and sexual strategising, the mind-numbing restrictions of political correctness.

The would need to be a reck-less-ness about all this - because to talk seriously we will need to overcome the decades of inculcated fear and self-policing, designed to keep people on-track and in-line; supplemented by engineered crises, contrived states of 'emergency', persecutions disguised as philanthropy...

But all such matters may be thrust-aside with a single gesture as worldly system stuff...

Spiritual awakening therefore may first be evident in the form of talk: specifically Serious Talk....

Who will be able to respond, and feed the spiritual hunger?
