4/ We don’t need the majority; we need a critical mass - a critical mass of those who so love the world that we miraculously turn the tide.

3/ Don’t water down the message of your heart to get more people to agree with you; just go as deep as you can with your message so those who can hear you really do.

2/ Don’t despair about the numbers of people who don’t agree with you; just think of ways to conspire more creatively with those who do. Social change doesn’t occur on a horizontal axis but on a vertical one…

1/ To me our hope lies in this…Society doesn’t change because the majority of people wake up one day and think differently; it changes because a small group of people, usually considered radicals by the status quo of their time, have a better idea.

Love hasn’t yet overcome my fear of that, but it has shown me a way to do everything I can so that at the very least when I leave this earth I’ll know I tried to be part of the solution.

7/ Nothing is more important than that we learn to think with love. It's not always easy - at times it's very hard - but every moment we can try…

6/ Whatever we do, whatever we are, affects the world in ways we can’t even imagine. Tiny filaments of energy flow forth from every thought we think. It’s not just a matter of our own inner peace, but the collective effort that is needed now in order to save the world.

5/ We will need to heal this rift and re-sacralize our world, or the internal chaos too many of us experience and then project onto the world will destroy us. Every day is an opportunity to do our part to help reweave the torn fabric of human civilization.

4/ Separated from the essential spirit or soul that is the core of our humanity, people are thrown into internal chaos and fear. Everyone and everything seems dangerous, the online world providing an allowable place to express the rage that is a cover for our despair.

3/ This has disconnected us from any sense of meaning beyond our identity as consumers and our dog-eat-dog need to compete for survival in a world that shows less and less compassion for anyone.

2/ The over-financialization of our society has desacralized the world, leaving people with fewer & fewer ways to connect with the tender & fragile dimensions that make life meaningful. Material forces have been deemed some ultimate reality & inner dimensions given short shrift.

1/ I read an article today about why so many people are angry online. There are many reasons of course, but at their core all solutions have a spiritual dimension...
