Whenever our world changes for the better, it does so for only one reason: somewhere, in some place, someone (just like you and me) is suddenly \u201cchanged.\u201d In the blink of an eye there comes an unexpected, but long-hoped-for visitation; a totally new idea appears in a mind that\u2019s been preparing just for its arrival.<\/p>\n
Every period of recorded history reports the arrival of what must be considered such \u201cgame changing\u201d ideas, the advent of some unique insight whose appearance serves to transform the consciousness of the world itself. Of course, revelations such as these occur in all fields of endeavor. Like individual raindrops that feed our streams and rivers, it is new ideas that nourish and sustain the growth of science, art, and the humanities. Yet, seen aright, all that grows out of these varied branches flows, as it does, from out of one vast unseen ocean: self-knowledge.<\/p>\n
Could the light of these truths — the hope and promise they hold about our own latent higher possibilities — help liberate us from the host of fears that hold our consciousness hostage?<\/p>\n
Imagine the end of all forms of fanaticism born of imagined differences, the beginning of a new order of peace created from the collective understanding that all beings on earth share a common purpose.<\/p>\n
Within everyone there dwells a living Light, a consciousness whose love and compassion never flags; it is a timeless intelligence whose wisdom, once awakened, provides both explanation and solution for all of the suffering and sorrow that we see taking place around\u2026 and within us. <\/p>\n
Finding this higher life is not meant to be the exception to the rule; it is the rule for anyone willing to undertake the interior journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
