I find that many of the younger generation accept the
concept of unity often as an given. It is being mass
marketed, which is good, yet they do not know the
catalyst for the release of all knowledge. I find the
youth to be very gifted and accepting of their
spirituality as something different than their
religious practice itself, which is usually still
being coached by parents and peers.
