I'd reply to your last comment about priorities by saying that we'd profit most by persuing spiritual and material survival simultaneously, not neglecting or postponing either. There's a lot at stake for the individual as well and what many don't fully appreciate is that both can be achieved together. In fact it's the reason we find ourselves at this crossroad "where spirit meets matter". To know and master both.

Well said,
btw I don't mean to say to postpone anything, I'm not trying to supress spirit, I just think our spirit connection will grow a lot more if we focus on surviving our species here in this world, in this reality of flesh and blood. I think there are so many cons out there and that they love for everyone to be busy going through book after book in the new age section of the book store searching for something that will help them accept and be at peace with the horrors we face. It all works as religion even if they think they are breaking free from religion. To be honest, I fear that the effect that this new world order could have if they fully succeed, could destroy the spirit. Some are at peace with death because they "know life goes on" in other realms in some way shape and form, but I would caution that there is more to it, that the most important time we've ever faced so far in our known history and it is at hand, where spirit meets matter, and if we want to survive, even in spirit, we need to fix what is happening here. We are fighting for everyone who has ever lived and everyone who has a rite to live in the future. We need to stop this new world order no matter where you stand spiritualy at the moment.
