QUOTES

"Man as a spiritual being chose to use his intellect to render matter into its smallest condition and master it. The price we had to pay was the loss of vision of the subtler worlds of being and spirit. The question now is whether we can learn creatively to handle that freedom and work with the ocean of creative life."

“We are in the second Renaissance. In the first, our ancestors explored the seas and discovered new continents.... In this our present age, we are setting out to explore the cosmos and reality.”

Certainly the vision of the spiritual nature of man and the universe brings the conviction that the human potential is unlimited and that we stand at the threshold over which a quantum leap in consciousness is possible.

If we are integrally part of the whole of living nature, we are indeed stewards of the planet ... What have we done with our stewardship? The answer is appalling. But we can yet make good the terrible damage we have inflicted on the living earth and its creatures...

So much more exists and calls to us. This is indeed an age of mystery, wonder and hope.
