We Are All Being Challenged to Grow
“This new mind awaits us in this next stage of our evolutionary journey. We are being challenged by the forces of history to grow into this mind, to mutate, as it were, in order for our species to survive. Jesus had the new mind, called in him the Christ Mind, as did Buddha and others. It is the mind when it is overshadowed by God, our mind when it has become one with His, when we have touched the heavenly light and been permanently altered by it. This state of enlightenment is the exaltation of our existence, the uplifting of our human consciousness to such a high place that we manifest, at last, as the children of God we truly are.”
–Marianne Williamson (American Author, Unity Church Minister and Lecturer on Spirituality, 1952-)
“The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for Living Your Best Life” (Marianne Williamson)
Systems Within Systems
“Indeed, an outstanding property of all life is the tendency to form multileveled structures of systems within systems. Each of these forms a whole with respect to its parts while at the same time being a part of a larger whole.”
–Fritjof Capra (Austrian-born American Physicist, Futurist and Writer, 1939-)
“The Web of Life: A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems” (Fritjof Capra)
A Step Closer
“Each stage of psychological growth is a step closer to God.”
–Ken Wilber (American Philosopher, 1949-)
“The Atman Project: A Transpersonal View of Human Development” (Ken Wilber)
Moving in Curves
“The movement of every energy and trend takes a curved direction. This is why there is no straight-line, lapse-free evolution in human nature or history. And the curve develops itself with time into a circle, and this again with further time into a spiral.”
–Paul Brunton (a.k.a. Raphael Hurst, English Philosopher, Traveler, Spiritual Teacher and Author, 1898-1981)
