“Many people across the world are talking about preparing for war. Becoming ready to fight against the darkest evils that have had their grip on human society for thousands of years. Awaiting a courageous, heroic, last stand for the good of the world. It should not be surprising to you when I state that I’m prepared to go to war, side by side with you, and I am well equipped! For the war I am fighting is not deadly, for in my war bodies should remain intact and become healthier, villages should grow and prosper into abundant communities, families and friends will bond together and uplift one another. For the war that I am fighting, at your side, is not one of old world thought, nor old world versus new world, not even the dark side versus the light side. I’m at war with your lack of knowledge, your cognitive dissonance, your immediate refusal of new intelligence that ceases your very evolution. I’m at war with your polluting structures, the industries destroying your homes that you still choose to work for, the very buildings springing up around your bodies which you passively allow to destroy your lives. I’m at war with the depths of your soul, the darkness you’ve been holding on to, the negativity that you’ve allowed to build so feverishly which transforms you into an abyss. If there is anything I’m at war for, that war is for your heart, mind and spirit. My family, it should not surprise you when I state that I am fully prepared to go to war with you, side by side, and that I am well equipped.” ~Asura Tejo Rupa
“Those who are animated by hope can perform what would seem impossibilities to those who are under the depressing influence of fear.” ~Maria Edgeworth

“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances.” ~Rumi
Meet you there!
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” ~KURT VONNEGUT

“In this epic moment of radical environmental and social disruption, the world is experiencing the dawn of a revolutionary transformation to becoming an ecologically literate and socially just civilization. The existential gauntlet is to make the shift fast enough to outrun global cataclysm. The next five or six years will be the once-in-a-civilization window to change course. We can move from breakdown to breakthrough. The Mayan people call this the “Time of No Time.” From here on, we’re on Earth time. Mother Earth is shaking to her core. It’s a time of madness, disconnection, and hyper-individualism. It’s also a time when new energies are coming into the world — when people are growing a new skin. The Mayan vision says we in the West will find safe harbor only if we can journey past a wall of mirrors. The mirrors will drive us mad—unless we have a strong heart. Some mirrors delude us with an infinity of reflections of our vanity and shadows. Others paralyze us with our terror and rage, feeding an empire that manufactures our fear into resignation. But the empire has no roots and it’s toppling all around us. In this time, everyone is called to take a stand. Everyone is called to be a leader. To get beyond the wall of mirrors, the final challenge is to pass through a tiny door. To do this, we must make ourselves very, very small. To be very humble. Then we must burrow down into the Earth, where indigenous consciousness lives. On the other side is a clear pond. There, for the first time, we’ll be able to see our true reflection. In this Time of No Time, we can go in any direction we want—by dreaming it. Our dreaming can shift the course of the world. Paradoxically, the crisis confronting us today is precisely the dream of our current civilization. That dream of endless growth, hyper-individualism and domination has turned into a nightmare. How do we dream our way out of a nightmare? One way is to wake up. All over the world, people are awakening to a new dream. We’re re-imagining a civilization in the Age of Nature that honors the web of life, each other and future generations. It’s a revolution from the heart of nature.” ~Kenny Ausubel

“We know there is something obsolete, something hopelessly immature, about the competing and fighting and grabbing going on at the highest levels of human society. Love and other values lost to consumerism are pouring back into our lives like fresh water. Community as a concept, finally having lost the taint of its association with communism, is in wonderful revival as local self-sufficiency and sustainability become very human and very practical goals in an uncertain world. Caring and sharing are replacing competing and grabbing, in no small measure due to the increasing empowerment of women, who have always held these values. Indeed, many of us see this as a growing-up, as the maturation of humanity. As an evolution biologist and futurist, I find this view entirely compatible with my own theory of a repeating evolutionary cycle of maturation.” ~Elisabet Sathouris
“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ‘the rat race’ is not yet final.” ~Hunter S. Thompson

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” ~ Jim Morrison
