When we say God is eternal, we mean God is eternally young.
“The outward person is the old person, the earthly person, the person of this world, who grows old from ‘from day to day.’ His end is death… The inward person is not at all in time or place but is purely and simply in eternity. It is there that God arises… [and] is heard, there God is; there God, and God alone, speaks.”
– Meister Eckhart quoted in Matthew Fox, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ
We are reaching a fork in the road; two paths are diverging on planet Earth and the one we choose will make all the difference for the life of the planet. Shall we continue our practices... and undergo extinction? Or shall we wake up to this dynamic, evolutionary universe and the rise of consciousness toward an integral wholeness?

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love – then make that day count.

It doesn’t matter where on Earth you live, everyone is utterly dependent on the existence of that lovely, living saltwater soup. There’s plenty of water in the universe without life, but nowhere is there life without water.

This Saturday, September 21st marks the International day of peace. Today we remember the words of Nelson Mandela,
No one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin or his background, or religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
-Nelson Mandela
