1		"Crises precede transformation. Before every quantum change, 'problems' emerge – limits to growth, stagnation, unmanageable complexity, impending catastrophes, disintegration. From the perspective of the present, the crises look like mistakes, deadly errors in the system. But from the perspective after the quantum transformation, these problems are seen to be 'evolutionary drivers', vital stimulants which trigger astounding 'design innovations'." Barbara Marx Hubbard, 'The Evolutionary Journey'

2		"Love is not a feeling. Love is spiritual energy, pure creative energy at its highest level. Love expressed in human form actualizes your divine Self. Love is a divine energy that harmonizes and integrates, thus permitting our true divine identity to be expressed." Dr. Barbara L. King, 'Will: The Foundation Faculty of the New Global Order'

3		"What is the plan?....We could call it a 'divine plan', or we could call it an 'evolutionary imperative', which is essentially the same thing. It is the plan to which Teilhard (deChardin) referred when he envisioned evolution as the movement toward conscious oneness with God." Robert Brumet, 'Power Shift: A New Paradigm for the New Millennium'

4		"When the social body comes together as a whole, it is Spirit that binds the parts, the same Spirit that synthesized the metals and minerals in our Earth, that organizes the cells in our bodies into stupendous communities of trillions of cells."

Underneath our various veneers, we are one. When we are healed of our petty thoughts, prejudices, and attitudes, we can finally realize this wondrous Truth of our being." Joan Gattuso, 'Toward Living the Abundant Life'

11		"The Force that created us knows what it is doing. Behind the apparent entanglements and difficulties of our life there is a cosmic conspiracy unfolding. It's always there – behind our clouded judgments and discomforts – and it can be trusted." Christopher H. Jackson, 'Zeal: A Fuel for Spiritual Pioneering',

12		"We are a transitional species evolving toward that higher, divine human which has been embodied by the great avatars of the human race and which is being activated in millions of us now, as the whole planetary body enters its 'crisis of birth', its time of trial, when the whole must coordinate and integrate itself as one living system." Barbara Marx Hubbard, 'Discovery of a New Ordering of the Future'

13		"We are beginning to truly understand and appreciate that we are all connected, that we are all part of a whole. New physics teaches us what mystics have known for millennia: that ultimately everything is connected in a unified field and that the natural drift of the universe is toward wholeness. In Hinduism, we find the story of Indra's net. Indra, the god of the firmament, has a huge net. Everything in creation hangs on this net as jewels. If one jewel shakes, the entire net and all the jewels shake. We are learning as never before that what we think, what we believe, and what we do shake the entire net of creation." Rosemary Ellen Guiley, 'The Fire of Faith'

21		"Humanity, as a species, is part of a divine plan that is seeking expression through the process of evolution.

Robert Brumet, 'Power Shift: A New Paradigm for the New Millennium'
