Our civilisation cannot survive without a return to spiritual values, and those values will not flourish without embodiment in the form of a religion. Since the Enlightenment, we have comprehensively misunderstood the nature of religion, and neglected the vital importance of nurturing the spiritual life. This has to do with a shift in the history of ideas, ultimately reinforced by changes in brain function over this period.
