The human race is evolving to the realization that what is happening on the level of consciousness both precedes and determines what happens in the world.
Individuals seem to have reached their walls and so has the entire human race. Whatever isn't working, isn't life-producing, isn't producing love for ourselves or others, is going to have to go now. Or, literally, there will be hell to pay.
I believe the human race is ready to make a quantum leap forward spiritually and morally.
The human race is almost addicted to war. It's like we just can't stop.
There is no they, only us. We are part of a large fellowship called the human race. We all hurt the same. We all love the same. We all bleed the same. We all need understanding and care. We can't separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of the same vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.
You know what we need to heal are the thought forms and the feelings that cause us to create war and mass destruction on this kind of a level, because ultimately if we are to survive as a species, we have to become a human race for whom the thought of war is unthinkable.

There is nothing that a military machine can do to work a miracle.
Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.
Today, most Americans are too cynical, or tired, or both, to even approximate our Founders' courageous repudiation of injustice.
You get enough people agreeing in consciousness that Mexico is a dangerous place, and that dangerous thought will make it so.
