One Size Can't Fit All: Integral Religion in a Fragmented World

By Vicki Toale OP

We Live in a Glueless Society! No, not clueless, glueless. More often than not, those who call another person clueless, really mean that he or she is not playing by "their" game book. The truth is that most people are not playing the same game! There is nothing substantial holding the international community together. Even within countries there is little agreement about what should be happening. Many in the postmodern West have called for every voice to be heard and respected. In large measure that has happened. People of all different belief systems and different levels of consciousness within those systems are speaking out. Now what we do with the cacophony that has resulted? Religion, which used to be a unifying force, seems to lead either to extremist behavior or vast indifference, with a very quiet moderate majority in between. Integral religion recognizes that there are seven significantly different stages of religious growth. Yet many who practice Traditional religion dismiss all others as clueless or blasphemous. Before people change they must be respected for who they are. One size CAN'T fit all; but like it or not each person and each society goes through each stage as they grow. Can Integral Religion hold us together long enough to recognize this?
