It is a skill of Spiritual Intelligence to become aware of, appreciate, acknowledge, our fundamental interdependence, that we are all in this thing called "life" together. Moving beyond the developmentally appropriate narcissism of a child is necessary if humanity and other living things are to survive on this planet and in the universe. To become aware that we are not alone on this planet or in the universe is a sign of spiritual maturity.
Government is an expression of and a means of managing this necessary aspect of our social system in which we all participate whether we are consciously aware of it and acknowledge it or not. Rarely do we think of politics as a spiritual practice and yet even if we are not aware of it, our participation in democratic institutions can be a spiritual practice if the intention is to benefit all of humanity. How do you support democratic institutions whose mission is to create a better world for the benefit of all?
