An Unlikely Spiritual Proponent?

Dwight Schrute.  Rainn Wilson's character on The Office is anything but a spiritual guy.   His antics, schemes and crazy beet-loving self always made us laugh.  Knowing an actor's long-time character so well can make it hard for us to see them in a different light. 

When I came across this video of Wilson, I couldn't help but cheer.  It is so articulate and well said that there is not much to comment on except for me to say- YES!  I concur!  I think you are right on! 
About everything. 

Its always nice to hear a celebrity, someone we don't know opening up in an honest way about something that resonates personally.  And in this case it all resonated strongly with me.  There will be, there HAS to be a Spiritual Revolution.  For many of us it began a long time ago but the collective is now jumping on board. 

I had seen Wilson in another role that made this clip less of a leap from Dwight Schrute to what is said here.  The movie The Last Mimzy is a fun sci-fi family film with many excellent actors but it flew under the radar a bit.   It is not a little movie at all but in fact it reveals a huge amount of information (and warnings) about our potential as humans as well as in the realms of science and spirituality
In the movie Wilson plays a young boy's science teacher who has prophetic dreams and an intense, intuitive girlfriend.

I loved his character and certainly hope to see more of him in similar roles and movies, or just as himself talking about more things like this.  I learned his formative years were spent immersed in all sorts of religions and beliefs through his parents Baha'i faith.  With such a unique background maybe it's Dwight Schrute who is the bigger leap in character.
