“The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it.  The world without spirit is a wasteland.” ~ Joseph Campbell

Of course, this is not to say that all those without a conscious appreciation of Spirit are unhappy or always suffer.  And yet, it has been my experience that the droning life of the material & the mundane is truly a “wasteland” when compared to the scintillating and Meaning-full life one experiences when choosing to appreciate the Divinity of other beings &/or the Purpose that is innate to every happenstance.  Those without such an appreciation may experience many moments of “wealth” or “pleasure”, and yet they are also ignorant of the far greater Abundance and Joy they could be experiencing — were they to but set aside their personal desires in favor of a life dedicated to relieving the burdens of others &/or immersing themselves into the Beauty that is always surrounding them.
