Consumerism hijacked spirituality. Today we are confronted with a multitude of spiritual practices striving to help us finding our inner Balance. Instead of the understanding of spirituality to see beyond the ego and to see yourself as a part of a totality, spirituality and its manyfold forms are widely perceived as a technic to maximize your own psychological wellbeing - to maximize your own bliss. «Shrine Ambition» is inspired by the findings of the psychologist David R. Hawkins that came to the believe that spiritual growth is the most basic and profound means of alleviating suffering in the world.
