Modern antipathy to institutional religion and our loss of the art of reading scripture have cut us off from essential sources of wisdom. We are stranded in an ocean of techno-science, bureaucracy and fear of our own inventions. This is as dangerous and produces as many negative symptoms as does a major nutritional deficit in our diet of processed food. Therapy, well-being, self-help are all useful approaches in these circumstances. They have their own value, but they don’t quite replace what has been lost and now forgotten. The time we spend compulsively checking messages or scrolling social media videos is a symptom of a spiritual deficit but no substitute for healthy communication or spiritual nourishment.
