I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis that we are in.

A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm.

At a time when unbridled greed, malignant aggression, and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity, we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.

In the kind of world we have today, transformation of humanity might well be our only real hope for survival.
