The time has come to talk about spirit. Here's why. A disturbing paradox is affecting a great many of us: The more that we learn, the less we seem to know. The more intellectually "smart" we become, the less we seem to be able to handle these "smarts." The more natural mysteries that we uncover, the more confused we are about ourselves, the more frightened we are about juggling the hot potatoes of new knowledge, and the more helpless and bewildered we seem to be about what to do with all that we learn. All this new "know-how" that mankind has acquired just doesn't seem to make people happier. Why is this? It's because we have unknowingly made a trade-off. In the course of our single-minded and relentless pursuit of intellectual and technical knowledge, we have become intellectually polarized - a half minded people who increasingly ignore the part of our minds that provides hopes and dreams, romance and love, altruism and wonder. We voluntarily relinquished the humane and spiritual in favor of the tangible material benefits offered by the immediate everyday world. And in doing so, we have neglected the best part of ourselves. We have become halfminded - intellectually knowledgeable but at the same time more spiritually ignorant. This is the paradox......from Dr. Arthur Kornhaber
