the ecological crisis, for example, is to be solved and if we are to promote genuine
justice and thus bring real peace to the planet—and with it the possibility of
improving lives on every level, not just economically, socially, and politically,

one of us is a mystic. We may or may not realize it, we may not even like it.
But whether we know it or not, whether we accept it or not, mystical experience

given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are:
creatures of boundless love, caring compassion, and wisdom. Existence is a summons
to the eternal journey of the sage - the sage we all are, if only we could see."
