it no longer seems bizarre that many give precedence to the spiritual crisis in
their lives and feel angry at, or at least deeply alienated from, those who
don't even recognize that something fundamental to human life is missing in the
contemporary world. The fact is that human beings cannot live happily without a
framework of meaning that transcends the individualism, materialism, and
selfishness of the marketplace and without the sense that a loving connection
exists among us as well as to that larger experience the religious among us call
God.
-Michael Lerner, The Left Hand of God: Healing America's Political and Spiritual Crisis, p. 65
