eye health reality
Pathos activates the eyes and ears to see and hear. At times of pathos, illness opens doors to a reality which is closed to a healthy point of view.
challenges humanity realization
The ecological crisis is doing what no other crisis in history has ever done - challenging us to a realization of a new humanity.
reality description
We live in a description of reality.
real creativity doors
Our senses are indeed our doors and windows on this world, in a very real sense the key to the unlocking of meaning and the wellspring of creativity.
kindness real humanity
In our time we have come to the stage where the real work of humanity begins. It is the time where we partner Creation in the creation of ourselves, in the restoration of the biosphere, the regenesis of society and in the assuming of a new type of culture; the culture of Kindness. Herein, we live daily life reconnected and recharged by the Source, so as to become liberated and engaged in the world and in our tasks.
generosity loving-you spirit
The more you love, the more loving you become. That's just the way it works. It is a generosity of spirit.
I find you have to come as litmus paper and be available to whatever way you can be.
children people decision
I am deeply activated by a sense of history, and have been since I was a tiny child. Really feeling that these were the times, we were the people, this was the most critical time in human history. Other people thought their times were the pinnacle and this is it. This is where we really, together, make a decision of whether to evolve or perish.
love-is humanity world
In a world such as ours, where we have to cross the great divide of otherness or we will not survive, love is perhaps the most critical aspect that is there in our humanity, to both activate and to practice.
animal
I'm very much an animal and nature person.
vulnerable schizophrenia
Vulnerable is a catch-all word like "love" and "schizophrenia."
heaven earth unexpected
If you travel as much as I do - 165,000 miles last year - you exist nowhere. You're always between heaven and earth, you're always arriving in a new place, you're always starting from the beginning - talk about origins - and you don't know quite what's going to unfold. You live in the unexpected and the inexplicable all the time.
ideas people astonishment
The ideas are secondary to the primary premise of people's potential. I'm always in wonder and astonishment.
jobs opportunity years
Around my eighth or ninth year I became interested in the world's religions. I was mathematically retarded but theologically precocious. I began to correspond with seikhs in India. After about the third letter they would ask about job opportunities in America.
