“On all levels, evolution occurs in response to a crisis situation, not infrequently a life-threatening one, when the old structures, inner or outer, are breaking down or are not working anymore. On a personal level, this often means the experience of loss of one kind or another: the death of a loved one, the end of a close relationship, loss of possessions, your home, status, or a breakdown of the external structures of your life that provided a sense of security.” KindMeanEndsHomeLossLevelsSituationSecurityEvolutionCrisisStructureResponsePossessionLoved OnesDeath Of A Loved OneThreateningBreaking DownBreakdownClose Relationship Author:Eckhart Tolle

“There are days when you might enjoy being an editor a little less, due to one crisis or another.

“There has always been a longing in the human heart for a more just, free, loving and creative society. But it was never before possible to fulfill these aspirations, because we had neither the evolutionary drivers and global crises to force us to change, nor did we have the scientific and technological powers that can free us from the limitations of scarcity, poverty, disease, and ignorance.

“I don't believe ... global warming is real. Do we have climate change? Yes. Is it a crisis? No. ...

“Our crisis is a birth. We are one living system and we have come to the limit of one phase of natural growth on a finite planet We must learn ethical evolution quickly As we seek to facilitate a gentle birth, a graceful and nonviolent transition to the next stage of our evolution, we will discover a natural pattern, a design of our birth transition, and develop a plan to cooperate with this design.” NextGrowthNaturalPlansStageDesignPlanetsEvolutionBirthLimitsCrisisPatternsGentleEthicalTransitionPhasesFiniteFacilitate Author:Barbara Marx Hubbard
