king and acting. We now have the choice of either spiraling into deepening peril, or breaking through to a world of dignity and wellbeing for all. Throughout its history, humanity has been guided primarily by a material consciousness. Fearing scarcity, we have continued to pursue material gain beyond necessity, taking from others and depleting the Earth’s natural resources. If our aspirations continue to focus only on what is material and finite, our world will face inevitable destruction. What is our true nature? In order to make more enlightened choices and change the course of our history, we need to return to the basic question concerning human life. Each and every one of us must ask, “What is our true nature?” and seek a meaningful and responsible answer. The great spiritual traditions of the world have always been telling us that, at its root, human life is inextricably linked to its universal source. Today, the latest advances in the physical and life sciences reaffirm this perennial insight. When we rediscover our connections to nature and the cosmos, we can re-align our life with the universal movement toward oneness and harmony in and through diversity. We can restore the divine spark in the human spirit and bring forth our innate love, compassion, wisdom, and joy to live a flourishing life. The time has come for every one of us to awaken the divine spark that resides in our heart.

ts-and-bolts environmental or social activist will roll her eyes upon hearing phrases like “The planet is a living being.” From there it is a short step to sentiments like, “Love will heal the world,” “What we need most is a shift in consciousness,” and “Let’s get in touch with our indigenous soul.”
What’s wrong with such ideas? The skeptics make a potent argument. Not only are these ideas delusional, they say, but to voice them is a strategic error that opens environmentalism to accusations of flakiness. By invoking unscientific concepts, by prattling on about the ‘heart’ or spirit or the sacred, we will be dismissed as naive, fuzzy-headed, irrational, hysterical, over-emotional hippies. What we need, they say, is more data, more logic, more numbers, better arguments, and more practical solutions framed in language acceptable to policy-makers and the public.
I think that argument is mistaken. By shying away from the idea of a living planet, we rob environmentalism of its authentic motive force, engender paralysis rather than action, and implicitly endorse the worldview that enables our destruction of the planet.

economics are structured in the opposite direction, to promote the growth of production and consumption regardless of their negative impact. How do we surmount this dilemma?
The Solution:
Obviously what's needed is for us, collectively, to stop and think about what we're doing …and to restructure our economics and politics. This is surprisingly easy to do. The Wisdom Council provides a way that a few people can facilitate all the people into the necessary "We the People" conversation. This social invention provides an amazingly simple path with no identifiable risk. But the benefits are immense, including the prospect of:
Involving ordinary people in facing the issues, building their understanding, creating a new shared vision of what "We" want, and designing a widely supported way to get there.
Establishing a new system of thinking … where We the People engage one another respectfully and creatively and provide leadership to governments.
Avoiding wars and international conflicts.
Celebrating and supporting individual and cultural diversity and building the spirit of global community.
Living by human values like trust and service, instead of corporate values like profits and maximizing personal wealth
Dramatically improving the systems by which we live, including education, health care, finance, taxes, justice, and democracy

"the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion". So reality is
ultimately TIMELESS. This sounds pretty bizarre from the view of classical physics, but from the view of consciousness theory and spirituality, it fits in perfectly.

Einstein’s theory of relativity was based on two principles. These include the principle of relativity, which states that the laws of physics don’t change, even when objects move at constant speeds relative to each other. It also looked at the principle of the speed of light. Einstein observed that the speed of light is the same for everyone, regardless of how their movement related to the light source. Einstein's theory explains that if two objects are moving through space and want to compare what they can see, the only thing that matters and helps determine this comparison is how fast the two objects are moving relative to each other.
According to Einstein, “the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion”. This is just another example that reality is more strange and incredible that what we experience day to day. There’s so much more to discover about this Universe and we’re only just getting started.
