Diversity is good. The cultural and
genetic diversity of the human people of the Planet Earth is a
great treasure to be cherished. The diversity of life forms on
this planet must also be encouraged.
It is needful to
realize the planet must be managed for the good of all. The old
games of politics and economics, war and religion must fail as human
awareness expands beyond its previous confining conception. The
paradigm was set when the Apollo moon mission returned with the now
famous photograph of the Earth rising over the Lunar landscape. This
was the critical moment of self-recognition - Earth - which has
now set certain events and apprehensions in motion.
The adaptation of the lessons of the
Past may be realized as the collective awareness rises from the grip
of its History. As ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny so the development
of human culture parallels that of the human individual. Western
Civilization has reached a crisis in its growth where the pressures of
global politics are forcing it to develop a mature and sane approach
to the rest of the planet or to continue to face hard lessons.
In group action there
is a tendency to express the "lowest common denominator" -
an effect where
unity of experience can only happen at a level shared by all and that
is the level of least experience, least knowledge, and least wisdom.
As a balance, the higher vibration states may be spontaneously
resonated. There exists a connectedness of spirit that allows that
every individual's energy contributes to the balance of the whole in
ways that cannot be closely calculated.
The challenge lies in nurturing the
collective and individual vision of the Whole Earth along with the
realization of our connections with it. It is the purpose of Circle
Institute to assist in the development and co-ordination of useful personal and
planetary paradigms. |
