We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having human experiences.
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
The formulation and dissemination of interesting interpretations of reality form the basis for constructive collective action.

If we were becoming fatigued by this deluge of inspiration, Benedikt Foit and Habib Lesevic woke us up with a start. Their game, Energy Streetfight, uses play as a way of engaging people to make real reductions in their CO2 footprint. Passionate critics of the ‘consumerism virus’, the pair advocate the importance of individual action in combatting simplified but currently dominant notions of progress as economic growth. Consumerism affects our perspective and leads to psychological passivity and the logic of taking. While culture spreads the virus, it is also culture that can cure us, one revolutionary mind at a time.
Wer sagt, es gebe Gott nicht und nicht dazusagen kann, dass Gott fehlt und wie er fehlt, der hat keine Ahnung.
Marifa (Arabic: المعرفة), which literally means knowledge, is the term used by Sufi Muslims to describe mystical intuitive knowledge of spiritual truth reached through ecstatic experiences, rather than revealed or rationally acquired. M. Fethullah Gulen, in his book onSufism, describes Marifa (“knowledge of God”) as special knowledge acquired through reflection, sincere endeavor, using one’s conscience and inquiring into one’s inner world. In this, it is distinct from scientific knowledge, or ilm, which is based on study, investigation, analysis, and synthesis. The opposite of scientific knowledge is ignorance, while the opposite of marifa is denial.
