Revolutions

The Agricultural Revolution changed humans from being nomadic hunter-gatherers into settlers who cultivated and harvested their food. It led to surplus food, increased longevity, villages, governments, and societal hierarchies.

The Industrial Revolution changed humanity further. We went from beings that worked with our bodies and tools, to operators of machines. Industrialization caused a major shift in ideologies, priorities, living conditions, and human relationships.

More recently, the Digital Revolution has transformed the world. Disseminating and accessing information is vastly different now than a few decades ago. Every aspect of life—from dating, parenting, education, shopping, cooking, bill paying, communicating, banking, healthcare, business, travel, entertainment—has been completely altered. 

I wonder how humanity would be affected by a Spiritual Revolution. Would we strive for divine enlightenment rather than mere earthly existence? Would we be powered by the Spirit rather than our egos? Would it change our priorities, relationships, and lifestyle?
