    Finding Sanity in an Insane World

    Carl Gustav Jung once summized: “It’s not famine, not earthquakes, not microbes, not cancer, but man himself who is man’s greatest danger to man.” He went on to say that there’s no real protection againstwhat he called “psychic epidemics.”Those are the kind of epidemics that don’t attack the body — they attack the mind. And lately, it feels like one of those epidemics is spreading faster than ever.It’s not a virus we can see under a microscope. It’s something far more subtle — and far more dangerous. It’s called collective insanity.That’s when whole groups of people begin to share the same irrational beliefs, the same emotions, the same behaviors — drifting further and further from reality. But history also shows us that this kind of collective madness never lasts forever. It always collapses under the weight of truth. Sometimes painfully, tragically — but it collapses. In Germany, it ended when the war was lost and the truthcould no longer be denied. The way back — the only way back — is truth-telling.And courage. It takes brave souls and compassionate communities to speak truth, even when it’s unpopular or unsafe. It takes honesty — emotional honesty — to face the grief, guilt, and fear without turning away. And when that happens collectively, healing begins. #CollectiveMadness #PsychicEpidemic #TheRealVirus #TruthInChaos #MassDelusion #SpiritualAwakening #HealingTheMind #FaithOverFear Useful Information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    The Death of Truth: Why Speaking It Still Matters

    There was a time when the media industry lived by the motto “sex sells.” Not anymore. The new currency is outrage. Social media giants have learned that anger drives engagement — and engagement drives profit. So, the algorithms are tuned to reward the most divisive, shocking, and hate-fueled content. The more we rage, the more they gain.And the result? We see it all around us. Acts of kindness, respect, and compassion are drowned out by cruelty and contempt. Civil disagreement has been replaced by digital warfare. Speaking the truth matters more than ever before. #SpeakingTruth #VoicesForTruth #MediaAndMorality #DigitalAgeOfDeception #FreePressFreeMind #EmetAndSheker #SpiritualAwakening #SoulReflections Information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Why So Many Young Men Are Turning Angry, Isolated, and Armed

    An overwhelming number of young men are filling their purpose void by joining extremist groups, offering them an antiquated ultra-masculine role model. A breakdown of election results in France, Germany, theThe United Kingdom and the MAGA culture of the United States reveal that a large swathe of young men are regressing into an unhealthy demagogic machoculture headed by male figureheads, tapping into their grievances, anger, and lack of self-esteem. So what is the answer? #PurposeVoid #ToxicMasculinity#HealthyMasculinity#MentalHealthMatters#YouthCrisis#RaisingBoys#MaleIdentity#MenAndMentalHealth Information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Finding Purpose in a World Unraveling

    There are days when it feels as though the world isunraveling. Truth is questioned. Values are mocked. Evenmeaning itself seems up for debate. The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once warned that the sickness of the soul sets in when a higher purpose is abandoned. In that empty space, something else always rushes in. This is often outrage, oversimplified narratives, and the temptation to divide the world into “us” and “them.” The sociologist James Davison Hunter describes thismoment as the rise of a new, nihilistic culture. He writes that it’s defined not by what it builds, but by what it tears down. A culture driven by fear, demonization, and the will to destroy. He notes that identities are increasingly formed through opposition: I know who I am only because I knowwho my enemy is. And from that comes rage, hatred, and the thirst for revenge. In a strange, distorted way, that rage becomes a source of meaning. But is that really the only story available to us? This episode explores gratitude as a real antidote to nihilism and finding purpose by seeing the world in a different way. #spirituality #livingtobe #nihilism #PurposeDrivenLife #MoralCompass #BeyondPolitics Information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Money: Gift, not God

    Since the earliest days of organized religion, money hasplayed a pivotal role. It has been used to spread the word, to entrench power, and sometimes abused for exploitation. But money has also built schools, hospitals, and welfare systems that shaped the very society we live in today. Can money be spiritual? We are often conditioned into false beliefs on money. This episode addresses some common misconceptions, particularly those rooted in religion. #MoneyMindset #SpiritualWealth #FaithAndFinance #MoneyAsAGift #RootOfAllEvil #PurposeAndProsperity Information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
