Sorry for the light posting last week – I’m back in town and will have the Decline of the American Empire article up Monday morning.  Meanwhile here is something more inspirational to help us prepare for the changes in the world around us.  Thanks Kelly Lee Phipps for the quote.

“”If the Mind is the directive force behind action, the mind and its vision of life must be healed before action can be anything but conflict. This healed vision of life comes from full awareness, for it involves a deep transformation of our view of the world that consists in knowing and feeling that the world is an organic unity.”

-Alan Watts

I love this quote because it demonstrates that everything that we create in our lives and in the world around us comes from the vision of our reality that we hold in our minds.  From that vision comes our beliefs, and from our beliefs come our experiences.

This is just as true when the outside world is changing as it is when we are working with our individual experiences.  Reality is elastic, and it flexes with the transformation of the group mind (of which we are an important part).
