At nineteen years old, being a varsity athlete and ending my freshman year of college; crisis’ are, or were, the least of my worries. Honestly, almost all of these crisis had never even touched the tip of my tongue let alone inside my brain. I know that this world is not by any means perfect; this world has an abundance of debt, wars, political differences, economic struggles, religious conflicts, etc. But this imperfect world is how we evolve and revolve. Sure there are crisis’ and many more that weren't discussed during this “revolutionary period” of humanities, but what is the common and REAL crisis? To me, the real crisis of our time is that we are so self-centered in a materialistic world that we are blinded by the importance of other people and the beauty in the nature of the world and most importantly a Christian lifestyle. We must work to be in touch with reality, connected with nature, and being in a Christ centered membership. As Dr. Frazier states, “The crisis of the crisis is that people don't perceive the crisis.” It is our calling to remain awake through this time and help others remain awake so that together we can make a change. But we must not look at crisis’ as always negative. It is here our crisis’ help us revolve and evolve as people and a society together. Everywhere we look we see people on their phones; at the dinner, in school, while driving, with friends, etc. This is the problem with society. It is like we are just going through the motions of the day meaninglessly. People just want to get through the day but Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his sermon,“Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution,” urges us to wake up and not sleep through this crisis of ignoring humanity. In this sermon, King explains that, “No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and anyone who feels that he can live alone is sleeping through a revolution” (Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution, 269). We, ourselves, cannot conquer this crisis that we face, it is only with God and community that we can take part in this movement of change that this world so desperately needs. Dr. Miller simply states that without God we are doomed to be entombed by this materialistic and secular world. Without God we are weightless. Our freedom is only in Him and Him alone. Dr. King goes on in his sermon that we cannot just wait idly by for this perception of the world to change, we instead have to be the world changers. “It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are willing to be co-workers with God. And without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always ripe to do right” (Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution 270). Things do not just get better on their own, we have to be the change. We have to work hard and fight to make a difference just as Dr. King pushes us to do. It is with this crisis we can change and rediscover things we may have forgotten or new things we are going to learn. How exactly are we suppose to remain awake through this revolution? C.S. Lewis believes that through membership this can be accomplished. He explains that in todays society there is a “crowd of busybodies” that are destroying solitude wherever solitude exists. “They call it taking the young people out of themselves or waking them up...” (Membership 120). In old times, solitude was much more common. Today, we have distractions affecting our attention; therefore it is more difficult to be in touch with reality, nature, and simply the peacefulness of being alone. Lewis states, “We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and privacy, and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship” (Membership 120). Because we are lacking solitude, we cannot develop a true membership with God's people. Membership is about commitment and compromise for others and most importantly our relationship with Christ. ST Coleridge states the problem in our culture is that, “We break and scatter the one divine and indivisible life of nature into countless idols of sense.” He causes us to fight for a universe that is alive, indivisible, and one. Sometimes as humans we are biased on what we see or hear. It is a choice to accept the challenge to make a difference. By putting community and membership with Christ the center of all decisions, we can help one another remain awake in this crisis of our entombment. One revolution in present day society that people seem to be sleeping through is the technological revolution. In common meeting and discussion we talked about the pros and cons of technology. Technology can save lives, make our lives easier, and make many things accessible. But people are so quick to turn technology to an obsession and or idol. We are blinded by negative effects that todays advancing technology has on us. Mainly teens, but people in general do not realize that we are exiling ourselves from the reality of life. In “The Republic of Technology,” Daniel Boorstin states that, “Technology is a way of multiplying the unnecessary” (The Repulic of Technology 9).Technology is making us selfish; in some sense it is just disconnecting us. Technology isolates us from humanity and brings us further away from membership. In order to remain awake during this revolution we must realize the problem and work to a solution, even if it starts with a personal solution. Now, more than ever, people seem to be going through the motions and sleeping through this and many other revolutions. It is with Gods strength, hard work, membership, and staying connected with reality that we can stay awake through this revolution. There are many revolutions going on all around us, we cannot be afraid or blinded to open our eyes to the change these revolutions may cause. We must remain awake through our crisis’.
