- “The social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally.”
- “Common sense dictates that we evaluate our beliefs on the basis of how they affect us. If they make us more loving, creative, and wise, they are good beliefs. If they make us cruel, jealous, depressed and sick, they cannot be good beliefs.”
- “Transformationally motivated people are the growing edge of a great continuity of souls reaching back to the very earliest times.”
- “Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve.”
- “In human history there has been a continuous and growing impulse toward the regeneration and transformation of humanity.”
- “The evolution of consciousness which is ascending, converging with the involution of consciousness which is descending.”
- “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. This is the time of awakening for the social potential movement.”
- “Conscious evolution inspires in us a mysterious and humble awareness that we have been created by this awesome process of evolution and are now being transformed by it.”
- “Music stimulates within us direct experience of expanded reality”
- “Remember Maslow’s discovery: The key to self-actualization — a life of creativity and joy — is to find work that is intrinsically valuable and self-rewarding.”
- “A sea of creativity is welling up from within us, which can evolve our world. It is this creativity that new social innovations seek to release.”
- “Cocreation does not mean service at the sacrifice of self; it means service through the actualization of self.”
- “Enter now the theory of quantum mechanics to upend our ideas about the physical nature of the world. Physicists were discovering in their laboratories that the basic properties of atomic particles were being altered just by the simple act of measuring them. Soon after it was discovered that, in certain experimental arrangements, particles at the atomic level do not fully exist prior to being observed. The activity of conscious observation and measurement was actually bringing particles into full existence! This suggests thatreality may not be pregiven and “objective,” but rather that it is being…”
- “Self-actualization occurs when we find our vocations and express them meaningfully in the world.”
- “So, the path of the co-creator is to be awakened spiritually within, which then turns into your own deeper life purpose, which then makes you want to reach out and touch others in a way that expresses self and really evolves our communities and our world. Certainly, we can’t do that unless we activate ourselves first. That’s why, for me, emergence is the shift from ego to essence. That is so important.”
- “Once again a new world view is arising … This idea is the culmination of all human history. It holds the promise of fulfilling the great aspirations of the past and heralds the advent of the next phase of our evolution. It is the idea of conscious evolution.”
- “We are moving from unconscious evolution through natural selection to conscious evolution by choice.”
- “In the past our glorious visions of the future – heaven, paradise, nirvana – were thought to happen after death. The newer thought is that we do not have to die to get there. We are not speaking here of life after death in some mythical heaven, but life more abundant in real time in history. We are speaking of the next stage of our social evolution.”
- “When a culture has a story everyone understands, it gives direction and meaning to that culture. When people no longer believe the story, the culture disintegrates.”
- “We hold these truths to be self-evident; All people are born creative; Endowed by our Creator with the inalienable right and responsibility to express our creativity for the sake of ourselves and our world.”
- “By understanding evolution as the expression of universal intelligence, now becoming conscious of itself within us, and as us, we overcome the dichotomy between current evolutionists who see no design in evolution, and creationists who often propose and anthropomorphic God as creator.”
- “Transformationally motivated people are the growing edge of a great continuity of souls reaching back to the very earliest times.”
- “Everything you do counts forever. You are an expression of the whole process of creation; you are a co-creator.”
- “Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve.”
- “We are the generation born when this radical power to transform the material and societal limits of human life has emerged.”
