The present crisis and spiritual openness as a solution

Abstract

Given the present crisis in the human way-of-life, this article offers a perspective and a proposal, which consists in a profound change in the manner the individuals live in our planet. Even when important decisions in legal and technological matters are still expected and required, those will never be enough if the individuals don't change their peculiar way of relate with the world around them, attached to ego, material success and self-interest. This change is called here “spiritual”, understood as an active compromise with the integration of the psyche and the achievement of the full presence, as it is possible through the budist meditation.
