“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.” – Joseph Campbell

If you talk to most people, they will either say, "It's the end" or nervously stutter out something like, "Oh it'll be OK."

But really... which is it?

I am not an advocate of positivism, hold a good thought and all of that. But neither am I a nihilist or a fatalist. That said, I am totally convinced that we are on the verge of a spiritual renaissance.

How can I say that? Believe me, it is not coming from a Shirley Temple kind of optimism.

We are being pushed up again the wall. We are running out of moves. The birds have eaten all the breadcrumbs and there is no trail back.

Transformation into the butterfly of humanity is by no means guaranteed. If it was, it would merely leave un in our current, infantile state.

No, to wake us up it has to be real and we all know it is getting very real!

To what then do I owe my conviction that we will rescue ourselves. I have a couple of reasons:
We have to
We have access to inner resources that we are completely unaware of
Only in genuine duress, standing on the precipice does the ego yield and we get access to those resources
Love must be our concrete choice, not a nice nice, spiritual idea
