God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of life in us.”

“It is no small feat to turn global issues into personal ones. People are starving so I support the local soup kitchen. People are violent so I support handgun legislation. People are unemployed so I give them work. It’s simple. The world is not out there. It is within six feet of me at all times.”

This is our finest hour. We live in a unique time, perhaps as significant as when the first humans arose in self-consciousness in an animal world. Millions of us are rising in a more universal, holistic, or cosmic consciousness in a self-centered world. We are being called forth in every field and discipline to fulfill our potential through joining together in creative action.
In the Gospel According to Thomas it is said, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
- Barbara Marx Hubbard (Conscious Evolution)
