A thoughtful look at the new awareness of our times. Authored by a thoughtful man, Owen Waters. In the mid-1960s, the attention of young people took a sudden turn inwards. It was as if a light switch had turned on. They suddenly awoke and said, "Oh, yes, I remember now. The answers are to be found within." The mid-1960s through the mid-1970s were times of inner searching. The outside world came to be seen as materially-obsessed and insincere. If there was meaning in life, it was to be found within. The spiritual revolution in human consciousness had begun. In the United States, the 'Baby Boomer' generation refers to people born between 1946 and 1962. Today, 'boomers' form one-third of the U.S. population, 14% of which are metaphysical believers and seekers. These leading-edge thinkers emphasize inner spirituality and self-expansiveness. Their sense of self is that of a real, inner self rather than an outwardly-focused, ego type of self. The true, inner self is found in silence. The inner self is.
