ACHING HEADS

When your head aches, you know that something is wrong because heads that are healthy do not cause pain. Pain always is a signal that something is wrong. When any area of society generates pain, that also is a signal that something is wrong and needs to be remedied. Today there are several segments of society that are in turmoil. Schools are in turmoil. The stock market is in turmoil. The economy is in turmoil. Corporations are in turmoil. Governments are in turmoil. Religious institutions are in turmoil. And families are in turmoil. There is pain everywhere. 

When pain exists in the head or anywhere else in the body, generally, one type of painkiller will solve the problem for any source of pain. Similarly, pain anywhere in society often will respond to a general prescription to become aligned spiritually with the absence of pain. In order to do so effectively and sustainably, we first must diagnose the specific cause of the pain, then effect the realignment. Otherwise, like the headache that sometimes signifies a deeper problem, we may need emergency intervention.
