“The social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally.”

I came to a clear internal realization that there was nothing I could do as a separated self that would ever fulfill me.

With enough of us connecting heart with heart, center with center, innovation with innovation, prayer with prayer, through the internet and the noosphere, we can have a major impact on a more gentle transition toward the next stage of evolution.

I feel so often that depression is a signal of more that wants to be expressed within you. There is an innate impulse in everyone to express more of who they truly are, and you get depressed when you don’t feel you’re able to do that.

In human history there has been a continuous and growing impulse toward the regeneration and transformation of humanity.

Problems are evolutionary drivers.

I see more people all the time feeling something growing from within them to more fully realize their heart’s desire, their desire to give more, to be more, to do more.

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.

Synergy does not mean giving up what we want. It means joining to co-create so each is able to receive ever more of what attracts us through joining rather than opposing.

I actually think every person can make a difference. Every single human being has within the impulse to express more of who they truly are.

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.

Catastrophe and creation are twins.

In the next 30 years we can destroy our world. With the very same powers – spiritual, social, scientific – we can evolve our world. Our mission is to serve as catalysts for a planetary awakening in our lifetime, to take a non-violent path to the next stage of our evolution.

Behold, I am writing anew, through scribes on Earth who are willing to listen to me again with new ears, in the light of the present crises on planet Earth.

Crisis precedes transformation.

Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve.

Planetary Citizenship reveals a vital blueprint for a compassionate and sustainable world. Hazel Henderson and Daisaku Ikeda make a formidable team stepping forward as humanity’s guides in this great transition to the next stage of social evolution.

We are near awakening when we dream that we dream.

Even if that is so, there will remain A word wakened by lips that perish, A tireless messenger who runs and runs Through interstellar fields, through the revolving galaxies, And calls out, protests, screams.

You are one thought away from a spiritual awakening.

Right now we’re in a special and powerful position, because the world is having a spiritual awakening.

What dies in awakening is not you, but ignorance.

Spiritual awakening is not about knowing everything and about being powerful. Quite the opposite is true. It is about resting deeply into not knowing, and about being so sensible and fragile that the belief of the ego dissolve into silence.

Awakening is a natural process.

In the moment you choose not to be vulnerable towards your pain and suffering you also build a wall towards happiness, towards awakening.
