What's missing in our society today is culture. The balance we as people used to receive from living within a tribe or community was brought in countless ways. In Native American culture for example, women expressed their beauty through traditional dance, ceremony, home-made garments. Men could express and use their energy in physical activities and bonding with other males. This allowed men and women to express the gifts they were given in a healthy and natural way.
In our modern day society there is no outlet to express this creative force we all feel. Thus men are forced to express through their work output, material belongings and physical appearance. Women through shopping, physical appearance/sex appeal and social status. The coming together uses drinking, night clubs and other unhealthy social environments to re-create a skewed sense of what once was the norm, being part of a community.
I am convinced that community is the only way to happiness. If we look back over the less than 100 years these modern day societies have existed (the city) we can honestly say it all seems like a failed experiment.We are coming up to the end of 2012 here and I am willing to bet the social structure and the system will be taking a dramatic turn. This is all just intuitive perception and what I've heard around the spiritual circuits but I can honestly say I am grateful for the shift in consciousness that is taking place. I am happy to be a part of community and know now that I will never be the same after this experience.
