This is on the back cover of a book of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's essays "Activation of Energy - Enlightening Reflections on Spiritual Energy" (I'm convinced he's one of the brightest of human minds, prescient even): "Following in the footsteps of his earlier works, this collection of essays by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin brings greater clarity to the stunning potential of human energy if it is properly channeled, as he describes, "upward and outward." While energy wrongly directed appears as depression, drug addiction and violence, Teilhard promises that spiritual energy channeled correctly will become a true force in the universe, far outdistancing the potential of technological advance." That's hardly enough to know what to do, its a paragraph in the back of a book. It is, like his writings, certainly encouraging.nd promising. He writings alone, though not easily comprehensible, will bring one out of a depressed and stagnant state (staring at the TV, drugs, alcohol, social media and food addictions) and back into the current of evolution, ongoing development of complexity of one's own self spiritually, intellectually, creatively and biologically.
