‘Attend to what is directly before you. You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems — but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’

Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, Volume One

Jane Roberts

The spirit, which we share, is a sacred blue torch, burning and devouring the dry plants, And growing with the storm and illuminating the faces of the goddesses.

Secrets of the Heart

Kahlil Gibran

The better hope lies along a less negative path. Englightened minds are beginning to feel convinced of this, An acceptance of individual personality drives adjusted to essential principles of social harmony seems on the way. This envisages not a suppression or perversion of innate drives, but an acceptance of them under the condition that they be tempered within the requirements of social mutuality of interests. This necessitates a constant reappraisal of principles of social harmony, so that human behavior be no longer subjected to repressions dictated by the obsessive prejudices and standards of outworn eras. Much of the distortion and neurosis in contemporary personalities is directly attributable to the pressures of social standards unsuited to contemporary needs. Much legitimate, creative energy is driven underground by atmospheres of shame and guilt that invade the healthiest consciences because the vapors of ignorance and stale values are foisted upon them.
