In a real sense all life inter-relates. A network of mutuality catches all human organisms, ties them in a single garment of history. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never stay in this moment until you stay in this moment, and you can never stay in this moment until I stay in this moment. This demonstrates the inter-related structure of reality.

Humans who are alive during the 21st century, 13.7 billion years of evolution after the ‘big bang’, are extraordinarily fortunate. The shift to intentional evolution is one of the most significant evolutionary transitions that can occur on any planet on which life emerges. We have the unique opportunity to contribute to its successful completion on this planet. And if we choose to make this contribution, we will do so consciously—we will be aware that we are contributing intentionally to the successful completion of a pivotal evolutionary event on this planet.

Networks of violence

exist in loud silence

doing their dirty job

fighting for the the top.

Watching people pass by

some upfront, some shy

I wonder if peace has gone

and brutality has finally won.

With more and more oppression

less space is left for compassion,

people act just like machines

and might blame their evil genes.

Yet there's nothing to lose,

once you learn to choose.
