"Before a great vision can become reality there may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with great difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we sometimes push against difficulty in bringing forth our dreams." From the I-Ching, the Book of Changes
The present is the echo of the past, and the future will be the reflection of the present. It is not sufficient to think only of the present moment; one should also think where it comes from and where it goes. Every thought that comes to mind, every impulse, every word one speaks, is to a person like a seed, a seed which falls in this soil of life, and takes root. And in this way one finds that nothing is lost; every good deed, every little act of kindness, of love, done to anybody, will some day rise as a plant and bear fruit. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
"Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God, the energies of Love, and then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." - Robert F. Kennedy 1966 Speech
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. ~ Albert Einstein
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nothing is more powerful than the public being awake and collectively free-thinking / talking / {awakening, integrating, healing, transforming…} etc.
We have no choice but to think together, ponder together in groups and communities. The question is how to do this, how to come together and think and hear each other in order to touch and be touched by the intelligence we need.

The build is near complete. Growing exponentially.
You are the frame. You are the support.
People will be lost. People will be terrified.
People will reject. People will need to be guided.
Do not be afraid. We will succeed.
Timing is everything.
