“In an evolutionary context, the goal of the spiritual life is not peace; it's perpetual development. Evolutionary enlightenment is about the ecstasy that compels us to create the future. And it's not a future that's going to unfold by itself while we go back to sleep.

Where human beings are not just sold to companies and money and those kinds of things. Where human beings have a sacred path.”

We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.”
