In this crucial moment in our life, world and universe, we can change the course of our personal lives, our civilization and organizations. We are individuals, and yet each of us forms a part of our world’s reality.
We are intimately connected with all historic events of our time. The ripple effects of any of our individual actions are felt in the world’s play and even transmitted continuously throughout the whole universe.
Individually we can consciously and actively pursue an approach to our life that is reflecting humanity’s golden dream: Peace, Health and Joy with Enough for All, reflecting our good intent and our ideals to our universe.
Be the mapmaker and actively assist in the change of consciousness that we all know is coming.
