An Unprecedented Time of Growth and Values Transformation


Yes, let us not betray each other. Let us grow in consciousness  of
this extraordinary time in the evolution of humankind by expanding  our
experience of what it is to be human and to be kind. Let our  
children and generations yet unborn look upon those of us living
in these times with gratitude for our individual and collective acts of  
profound courage, caring, wisdom and commitment to a higher good.
Namaste.

"Peace calls us to shed the comforts that are partial, temporary, destructive, and illusory - admittedly a monumental task, especially when we understand that it requires whole systems transformation and a baseline of higher consciousness that we have not yet collectively achieved. But that is where the Earth Charter makes it clear that we are all being asked to accept our responsibility to play our part. Nothing less. It's on each of our shoulders to help transform a world unable to manage its conflicts. It's time to get comfortable with the idea that an unprecedented period of extraordinary growth and values transformation lies ahead if the human enterprise is to succeed."
