If ever there was someone who could make mysticism practical, Aristo would be that one. This week he talks about the idealism of spiritual people who often get frustrated trying to make their ideals work in the real world. Many spiritual people, for this reason, only have theoretical empathy, since they have trouble establishing the relationship between their ideals and the realities of the world. Nevertheless, the ability to create harmony is our birthright; and wisdom is the key to the application of ideals in the real world. There are three main aspects of wisdom that Aristo discusses: motive, means and opportunity. Ironically, these are the same aspects as criminality. In this time of awakening, it is our job to apply the aspects in the development of wisdom and overcome those aspects as we have known them in the criminal sense. As always, Aristo gives us a lot to think about.
