Why Millennials Are Still Living With Their Parents
It is a theological problem: Western religions posit a dualistic reality which holds that creation is divided from God, the Creator, that God is one thing and creation is another. In the Western mind, God causes all physical reality to exist apart from His immediate agency. It is by remote control. Spirit does not actually touch matter, it is apart from it, thus we are apart from God, divided and separated from His Being.
Apply this worldview to generations of children. Their parents are looking for the coming of an outside superman to save them from the world's problems. The children grow up either waiting for the distant stranger like their parents or cynically rejecting the values of their parents. They prefer to spend their time reading comic books, playing games, and watching movies.
The Success Manual of Moses, the Bible, posits a non-dual reality which holds that creation is the occurrence of the Manifesting of God, that God is the Source of this emanated existence which is still being developed. In Moses' mind, God is all existence -- from the inconceivable, incomprehensible, ineffable core Being above "spirit" . . . to the myriads of Its own spiritual consciousness . . . to the subatomic quantum particles of the universe. Spirit causes and sustains matter, God's eternal and all-powerful intelligence having become it.
Apply this worldview to generations of children. Their parents know and are confident that they can do anything, for God works with them and through them. They are moral and upright, and by moving themselves to be more like God, they pursue the accomplishing of things that please God. These children grow up applying themselves to spiritual progress and moral uprightness. They confidently improve their lot in life and are generous to others. Conscious that they themselves are God's Manifestation, they seek to find what good things they can do and choose to do those things.
The difference is: is there an outside superman remotely located but hoping for us, or is there an inner being (whom we actually are) sustaining this life who needs to wake up to the fact that it has within it, even if just in germ form, all the attributes of God?
