For Beyond 50's "Spirituality" talks, listen to an interview with Mark Lesniewski. An Oregon resident, he has a background in seminary studies, Spiritual Direction training, Clinical Pastoral Education, and a Master's degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy. According to Lesniewski, some people who were close to Jesus thought he was crazy. Same with Francis of Assisi. And what do you make of a prince (now know as the Buddha) who leaves his palace and family and, early on, lives a life of extreme asceticism in a forest? All three master mystics pointed us to more sane ways of living together. How would we handle them today? Last year "USA Today" published a series of articles called, "The Cost of Not Caring." One particular article was subtitled, "The Financial and Human Cost of Neglecting the Mentally Ill." What does this neglect say about our collective spiritual health, and what affect might it have if we changed our perspective about mystics, the mentally ill, and trauma victims, especially if we see what they, and we, all have in common?
