When you get a new worldview you get a new world. It's like the shift from medieval Christianity to the Renaissance and enlightenment.
I actually think every person can make a difference. Every single human being has within the impulse to express more of who they truly are.
I feel so often that depression is a signal of more that wants to be expressed within you. There is an innate impulse in everyone to express more of who they truly are, and you get depressed when you don't feel you're able to do that.
In the past our glorious visions of the future - heaven, paradise, nirvana - were thought to happen after death. The newer thought is that we do not have to die to get there. We are not speaking here of life after death in some mythical heaven, but life more abundant in real time in history. We are speaking of the next stage of our social evolution.
Whenever a few people are gathered with a spiritual impulse to connect, to resonate through the heart, to make a shift from their own ego to their essence, and then to connect to do whatever work in the world they are called to do, that's an evolutionary circle.
Ask to know what you are born to do. Follow the compass of joy.
The social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally.
I really think that the planet is growing a new nervous system. I mean, when you think of Facebook as the third largest nation in the world, that's so unprecedented, so amazing. Think of how many people are texting and twittering. The planet has created a nervous system for massive, rapid connectivity.
The great human problem of evil stems from the illusion of separateness. Whenever this illusion is overcome, we behave lovingly to one another.
Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos can shift the whole system to a higher order.
When we experience our own desire for transformation, we are feeling the universe evolving through us.
Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve
With enough of us connecting heart with heart, center with center, innovation with innovation, prayer with prayer, through the internet and the noosphere, we can have a major impact on a more gentle transition toward the next stage of evolution.
There has always been a longing in the human heart for a more just, free, loving and creative society. But it was never before possible to fulfill these aspirations, because we had neither the evolutionary drivers and global crises to force us to change, nor did we have the scientific and technological powers that can free us from the limitations of scarcity, poverty, disease, and ignorance. This is the time of awakening for the social potential movement. Barbara Marx Hubbard
In the next 30 years we can destroy our world. With the very same powers - spiritual, social, scientific - we can evolve our world. Our mission is to serve as catalysts for a planetary awakening in our lifetime, to take a non-violent path to the next stage of our evolution.
'Christ' states that those who see themselves as 'separate' and not 'divine' hinder humanity's ability to spiritually evolve. Those who deny their own 'divinity' are like 'cancer cells' in the body of God.
