AFFECTIVE COMMONS

Here is an idea floating around community spaces.  It could have a lot to do with mental health issues I believe.  I like the visual.

Spirituality is so important.  We have to move beyond wars of religion, and focus on the spiritual and community aspects of being human.

 

Sadly with the tendency to dualist thinking, science and medicine got shifted to be in opposition to the emotional and spiritual.

 

That these movements integrating human experience, socially and as a matter of world views as well as the personal, are gaining traction is GOOD.

Maybe, this opposition is what induces spiritual awakening for some?.. I am grateful for medication that gives my brain more clarity and ability to see things differently, including spiritual things. It's so complex, there's a lot of interconnectedness.
