New Ethic for a Small Planet by The Dalai Lama

"If the twenty-first century is to be one of peace and caring, says His Holiness the Dalai Lama in this heartfelt personal plea, we must develop a new ethic of human values that transcends religion. "I look forward to a day when children, as a result of integrating the principles of nonviolence and peaceful conflict resolution at school, will be more aware of their feelings and emotions and feel a greater sense of responsibility both toward themselves and toward the wider world. Wouldn’t that … Continue reading

Sacred Activism: Moving Beyond the Ego

24 January 2016 Leave a Comment

"We have told ourselves, and been deeply conditioned by a Story. One that has many names, but that Charles Eisenstein refers to as the Story of Separation. It is the Cartesian story – the one of our flesh robot existence, floating on a dead rock in the middle of space. It’s one of us as separate from each other, the environment, god, and our souls. "We must move into a different story. One that Eisenstein calls Interbeing. "Stop the turfwar, the labeling, the blaming, the us vs them, good vs … Continue reading

19 December 2015 3 Comments

Jonathon Porritt, summiteer, Findhorn Fellow and Founder of Forum for the Future, shares his personal story one year on from Findhorn's New Story Summit.... To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed in myself. At various points over the last ten years, I’ve tried to take myself in hand to achieve a better balance between inner and outer realities, between reflection and action. That was one of the reasons why I set time aside for the New Story Summit – essentially to engineer not so much another … Continue reading

Spiritual Conscience by Caroline Myss

6 December 2015 1 Comment

Hi Everyone, Well, I appreciate your feedback on my post yesterday [see 4 December Facebook post]. And now I will offer some feedback, if that’s okay by you, as they say. First, there is something to be said for matters of spiritual conscience – not consciousness – but conscience. That is, there comes a time when good people need to speak up when confronted with the face of evil. If not you, then who? Speaking up is not being “political”; it is an act of conscience. I am not promoting anything … Continue reading

Integral Spirituality by Ken Wilbur

24 October 2015 Leave a Comment

In the new issue of Kosmos Journal, American writer and philosopher, Ken Wilber explores the new spirituality.... "…That brings us to the second major type of spirituality generally available in today’s world, namely the spirituality of waking up. This is not a series of belief systems. Rather, it is a psycho-technology of consciousness transformation, a series of actual practices. These lead from the small, narrow, finite, skin-encapsulated ego to what is said to be a oneness with the ground … Continue reading

Shifting Guidance from Head to Heart: Nina Simons’ opening talk from the 2015 Bioneers Conference

19 October 2015 Leave a Comment

[quote"Nina Simons, Findhorn Fellow and co-founder of Bioneers"]When I listen with my heart, I am pierced with an empathic awareness that calls me into action beyond what any amount of learning, reading or mental understanding can prompt.[/quote] "While I am inspired each year by all the brilliant, innovative and effective solutions and strategies at this gathering, they won’t be enough to shift our collective course without an accompanying — and radical — change of heart.

"There can be no doubt that we are living in a time of transition. A new human community is being born in us and through us — all 7 billion of us — as we respond to the challenges that flow from impressions of wholeness. In a transition time nothing is certain and the future is unclear. The wholeness vision disturbs as well as inspires; it leads some to want to move forward too fast into an idealized world and others to do everything in their power to resist the momentum towards the new. It … Continue reading

Is Nothing Something? Thich Nhat Hanh answers children’s questions

16 August 2015 Leave a Comment

"Children have a special place in the Plum Village tradition of Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. There are special practices, vows, and programs designed especially for children and teens, and Thich Nhat Hanh often fashions the first part of his dharma talks with them in mind. He regularly takes questions from children, and by and large adults can identify with what they ask. Children may be smaller and younger and they may have a funny way with words, but their questions reveal that they, like … Continue reading
