In our century we have seen millions give themselves to ideologies of communism, fascism, terrorism, and unfettered capitalism (yes, Wall Street is also an embodiment of our ideology!)—often in angry rebellion either against an oppressive container or because they were given no soulful container at all. Like never before, we are now seeing the misplaced anger that was at the bottom of many, if not most, of the social movements of our age. Building on such a negative foundation inevitably produces a negative building. None of these “isms” ever create a “civilization of love” or even positive energy; they are largely theories in the head and come from the small egoic personality, leaving the soul bereft, starved, and saddened outside. ~Richard Rohr
