Turning It Around Today is your way to remove the double edged sword of today's religion. Albert Einstein is credited with describing insanity as doing the same thing while expecting a different result. By continuing to accept the way religious institutions and its leaders function in the world, we are all doing the same thing while expecting different results. We are praying to the same God, in the same institutions, for the same changes, and expecting different results. Meanwhile, every new generation witnesses more corruption, deeper confusion, and a higher rate of apathy.
So, how do we turn things around? We start with self, rather than other. Turning It Around Today teaches how to accept the fact that we are all flawed, and that we each follow on our own life journey. We each have a faith tradition that is developed from how we see the world, rather than a product of an imposed set of laws. Some of us have faith that our needs will be met. Some of us have faith that our needs will be ignored. We each have a belief system that comes out of our life experience rather than from reading an interpretation of another individual. Some of us believe that we are part of something greater than ourselves, some of us believe that the life we are living is all.
The goal is to see that when we work on understanding what motivates us to act, feel, speak, and keep silent, we get closer to knowing our God. Knowing our God is the first step to finding spiritual health and well-being. To some of us, the promise of wealth motivates us to act, feel, speak, and remain silent. This means that wealth is our God. To some of us the promise of love motivates us. Love is our God. Once we know what God is to us today, we can then determine if this is the God we want tomorrow. If it is not, we can start turning it around and move in a different direction toward a different God.
