Rev. Toro points to the new stage that religious traditions can look forward to, if we do in fact work through this most challenging, and in some ways, disintegrative time.
"It seems humanity right now is, from the mystic perspective, in the ‘ordeal.’ The mystic journey begins with a call, then there comes a point when there’s a meltdown. And it is from that disaster that a new being emerges—if the seeker stays true to the path."
