Have you noticed more stories lately about what the unemployed are doing?
Some tell us many of the unemployed are going back to school to learn new professions, such as culinary arts, physical therapy, or a special trade never previously considered. Others are conveying the positive aspects of staying home. They’re now finding less stress from their commute to work and daily pressures of the job, not to mention the benefit of rediscovering family-time together at home.
Ashamedly, my initial feeling from these articles is one of
envy (I’m still at my job). Of course in the next moment, I realize
none of us wishes the hardship and uncertainty of how we’ll make
ends meet without a reliable means of sustaining our
lives.
But the bigger question is “Now What?” Unemployed or otherwise, many
people are beginning to sense unemployment is not the real issue
we’re facing, but merely an effect of the true crisis which pushes
us to correctly diagnose the sole cause of our predicament: Our
human egoism, which today has become global and interconnected.
The deeper issue is how to discover the principles that
govern or control our
egoism. And not so unlike the unemployed stories
we’re reading on the net, a growing number of people are finding a
“back-to-school” approach as a worthwhile means to correct or treat
the crisis they now find themselves in.
Just think of that – world-wide continuing education classes, where
we all come and learn how the principles that control our
egoism, can indeed correct it: http://kabbalahlearningcenter.info/ (classes
