<div dir="auto">I feel the pain in so many of us, as the Michael-in-us goes from here to the unknown.</div>
<div dir="auto">How can that ebullient personality, that vibrant body, be now just another body, among the tens of billions of human bodies that have lived and melted back into the earth, the only G-d he believed in.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">He went from being an evangelical preacher to the <span><a></a></span>Universe Story preacher to a devotee of the truth of Overshoot and Collapse, and how human civilizations and the living earth have danced since before time was counted.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">He found his way from an unstoppable community activist (when I first met him) to the wise teacher and friend he was Saturday, before the line was drawn and his life here ended.</div>
<div dir="auto">Along the way, people like me have let his teachings penetrate deep into our own understanding of life. He introduced me this document from Sir John Glubb: The Fate of Empires <span><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpeople.uncw.edu%2Fkozloffm%2Fglubb.pdf%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3PEUNktd6B-ybqmQMJLxcPOH4juBK86KJquprIR4iC-54OB1PhKlmMKIo&h=AT1B_DbJv4lF9ApwSSMuf3a-3LGYqd3fDkGi1axiz1Nfx717V1Or1sco2fURvQV0euVDFeMjNFMTAQYkk7sMoOq4mTQwcIDOn3av0SkM9KNODbw49v9svwlnJKCUw7_mLaTc&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT0ikCqTj5cB3lP3hjuoNaJsxBk0NyC5EbB6pOFkazYI4F6qQ_KNPOP3ZQ3WNU2eoA0stMSZCMZKOOwOlSYY6nnIPRnWIM5z7P40SpbGzTr4yDHwvzJMIZA258TJwBG_ux_-cCWhdf7CA2AJaSzE1RxmwjB4d5Kr4mZ1R6Mby6ws8D4l_YJw9Q" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf</a></span> It rattled my assumptions that we could change the world and set me on my own course of accepting what is - and isn't.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">He offered, after much study, his understanding that there is joyous life beyond "doom" - TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it). He came to call it "Post doom, no gloom."</div>
<div dir="auto">Beyond the wrenching grief for the suffering that comes as the climate swings into a new stability that likely won't include humans - there is a joy in just the glory of the living world/the living universe. There praise and thanksgiving and unfettered love for every spec of Life.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">As Mother Teresa said, "We are not called to be successful, but faithful." He was faithful to reality, including glorious rivers and repeated endings of mighty civilizations.</div>
<div dir="auto">His morality was ultimately this, this fidelity to reality and his unstoppable call to share his "good news" with tens of thousands of us.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">I could make something of him dying as Hamas reined terror on Israel, a tragic act in a long history of displacement and mutual violence.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">He might have said prayers for all who are being unspeakably terrorized, while also seeing how such wars always come as civilizations end. We see this tearing one another to shreds here in the US and in Ukraine and in a roiling struggle for dominance as our earth - reality, G-d - collapses along with exploded concrete.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">Well, I don't know what Michael would have said. But I know he would have ministered with setting our shock in a larger context of holy life and human failing.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">I loved him. For years. I also see that I let him find for me the language and context for this unraveling. I let him - and the hundred or so guests on my podcast - give me/us their understanding of what's happening and how to live through it.<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">So his death also lays down a gauntlet for me. Can I step further and firmer into the truth I carry. When a leader dies, this is the challenge. Often people vie to be the recognized successor of a great teacher. Not with Michael - though many will teach what he planted in them. The challenge for me is to anchor the wisdom I've gathered in my zig zag through life, and offer, through words, my partial but passionate values and understandings.</div>
<div dir="auto">Here's how he characterized his mission:<br/><br/></div>
<div dir="auto">"I am a religious naturalist/big history/big integrity evangelist. Since April 2002, I've lived permanently on the road with my wife, Connie Barlow, an acclaimed science writer, teaching and preaching a meaningful, inspiring view of the 14-billion-year epic of physical, biological, and cultural evolution to religious and secular audiences of all ages. I am passionate about sharing our common creation story in ways that uplift and expand heart, mind, and soul, and in ways that motivate people of all backgrounds and beliefs to grow in right relationship to Reality (i.e, to "get right with God") and to cooperate in service of a healthy future for all."</div>
<div dir="auto"><br/>Listen to his last talk. Drink in the wisdom he distilled from his own passionate life. H<span>ear him say, again and again, how much he loved life and how</span> <span><a></a></span><span>ready he was to die any moment. He was dedicated to truth, to service, to communicating every way he could that we are heading off the overshoot and collapse cliff. He was more bold, and LOVING, about this than anyone I know. If you were close to or inspired by Michael, I send my heartfelt love to you.</span></div>

<p>I made up the following questionnaire to weed out candidates who seek your endorsement, but who supported political views exemplified by the Trumpster and Qanon believers.</p>
<p>26 incidents of "unwanted sexual contact" by the Trumpster and 43 instances of inappropriate behavior were detailed in the book, <em>All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator</em>. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12?fbclid=IwAR1h75H0hHZhlxGb4eDzmCOf4wYDB2svhBJ-PfPkoXoHm3JRiNiDGPjhmNc#jessica-leeds-1">https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12?fbclid=IwAR1h75H0hHZhlxGb4eDzmCOf4wYDB2svhBJ-PfPkoXoHm3JRiNiDGPjhmNc#jessica-leeds-1</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has told friends that President Donald Trump "is the most flawed person" he's ever known. Trump can't stand to hear the Truth! He lies, steals & cheats! He has 2000+ court cases awaiting him as a defendant! His dishonesty is the transactional nature of every relationship.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Where do you stand on these issues? </p>
<p>And of course, you and candidates should feel free to explain their answer(s). And even refusing to answer some questions may tell us a lot about the candidate.</p>

<p></p>

<p> </p>
<p>What other questions do suggest we should be asking? </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

And you can learn the evidence that points to the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as being who plotted Kennedy's assassination and the cover up. The trigger pullers were most likely anti-Castro Cubans with their North American mafia associates. In my book about the Nixon Years you can learn how closely he was tied to the North American mafia and learn that General Alexander Haig Jr. was most likely the real deep throat. You can also in this book learn about the Nixon Administration running a death squad in Latin America that pretended to be working as a counter drugs operation. In my book about Bill Clinton's role in trafficking in cocaine and launder money with the CIA you can read about how CIA trafficking in opium during the Vietnam War continued from Latin America. In my book about 9/11 you will get a chance to use your common sense to question more.</p>

<p>For decades the chain of custody of Abraham Zapruder's home movie has been misrepresented since President Kennedy’s assassination. We also have learned who had the opportunity and means that weekend, November 23rd-25th, 1963, to alter the film. This new evidence adds more irrefutable evidence supporting of the theory that the CIA, the Secret Service, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff plotted and covered up the assassination the assassination. In my book and other JFK assassination books are noted other facts that support this theory and the theory that the trigger pullers were most likely anti-Castro Cuban along with their North American mafia associates.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following new evidence was uncovered by Douglas “Doug” Horne, author of the book <em>Inside the ARRB</em> and by author Peter Janney. Horne worked as an intelligence analyst in the Navy for 20 years and worked for Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) that occurred from 1994 to September 1998 on the medical evidence and the Zapruder film. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>After JFK was killed Zapruder encountered <em>The Dallas Morning News</em> reporter Harry McCormick, who was standing near Zapruder and noticed he was filming the motorcade. McCormick was acquainted with Dallas Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrels, and offered to bring Sorrels to Zapruder's office. Zapruder agreed and returned to his office. Zapruder agreed to give two “first day” copies of the film to Sorrels on the condition it would be used only for investigation of the assassination. The three then took the film to Eastman Kodak's Dallas processing plant later that afternoon where it was immediately developed. It took them until around 6:30 p.m. to develop the Kodachrome motion picture film. The original developed film was taken to the Jamieson Film Company, where three “first day” copies were made. These were returned to Kodak in Dallas around 8 p.m. for processing.</p>
<p>The original film, now 8mm in width, was viewed/played on an 8 mm projector at Eastman Kodak's Dallas processing plant at least twice by several photo laboratory personnel including Production Supervisor Phil Chamberlain, and Customer Service Manager Dick Blair, Zapruder, and his attorney. Zapruder departed the Kodak's Dallas lab at about 9 p.m.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Late Friday night, November 22, 1963, one copy was flown to Secret Service Headquarters in Washington, DC by Dallas Secret Service agent Max Phillips. It arrived early Saturday morning, before dawn, according to David R. Wrone, a history professor who has researched the JFK assassination for 40 years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A second copy was delivered on Saturday 11/23/63 to the FBI office in Dallas, and then it was flown to FBI headquarters in Washington DC. It arrived on Saturday evening November 24<sup>th.</sup></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Late Friday night, November 23, 1963, Zapruder was also contacted on the phone by Richard Stolley, <em>LIFE</em> magazine's Pacific Coast editor in Los Angeles. Zapruder agreed to meet with Stolley and discuss the film's potential sale the next morning in his office. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the FBI headquarters just after midnight on Sunday November 24, 1963, the movie was viewed by Cartha DeLoach (the third most senior official in the FBI after J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson) and others at FBI HQ). This copy was then returned to Dallas on Tuesday, 11/26/63 according to Doug Horne. He also believes the FBI made copies of its copy before sending it back to Dallas on Tuesday. Doug Horne is the guy who uncovered all this evidence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Zapruder met with Secret Service officials and Richard Stolley in his office on Saturday morning, November 23, 1963, and Zapruder projected the original film for them on his 8 mm projector<strong>.</strong><a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/2012/05/douglas-p-horne/the-two-npic-zapruder-film-events-signposts-pointing-to-the-filmsalteration/#_edn9"><strong> </strong></a> Zapruder next loaned the camera-original film to <em>LIFE</em> for a six day period and <em>LIFE</em> paid Zapruder $50,000 under an agreement that <em>LIFE</em> would not show publically show the movie. This was some $418.000 in 2020 dollars. Zapruder kept the one remaining “first day copy.” He later secretly donated $25,000 of the money he was paid to the widow of Officer J. D. Tippit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Richard Stolley said he immediately put the film on a commercial flight bound for Chicago, where <em>LIFE'</em>s principal printing plant was located. But there is strong evidence that a “dirty copy” black and white (maybe partly faked) copy had been made from Zapruder’s first day copy at the CIA’s Kodak’s Hawkeyeworks R&D lab, in Rochester, New York, and then rushed to Chicago Sunday night on November 24<sup>th</sup>. Arrival of just one “dirty dupe” at the <em>LIFE</em>’s Chicago printing plant would have provided the imagery necessary for the first mail-out issues of the magazine to be ready for mailing Monday afternoon, November 25<sup>th</sup>, and would also have been consistent with the first newsstand issues hitting the shelves on Tuesday, November 26<sup>th</sup>, as reported by Trask. (Source: <em>National Nightmare on Six Feet of Film,</em> by Richard Trask, p. 117 (2005) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So we can assume Stolley likely lied when he said he immediately put the film on a commercial flight Saturday morning, November 23, 1963, yet it did not arrive until night on November 24<sup>th.</sup> Zapruder “first day” copy allegedly remained with <em>LIFE</em> in Chicago from early Saturday evening, until Tuesday, November 26<sup>th</sup>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Zapruder film researchers Horne and Janney discovered irrefutable evidence that Americans were lied to about the chain of custody and prove that the camera original Zapruder film was in the custody of the CIA and/or Secret Service — not <em>LIFE</em> magazine — from late Saturday evening, November 23rd through Monday morning November 25<sup>th</sup>, but is of such a provocative nature that it strongly suggests — indeed, virtually proves — the original film was altered that weekend, prior to the publication of any photos in <em>LIFE</em> magazine, and prior to its use by the Warren Commission. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The CIA officers who altered the color Zapruder film at Hawkeyeworks knew that the wound alteration images in frames 317, 321, 323, 335, and 337, for example, were good enough to show investigators the film.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I will get into how we know that Hawkeyeworks at Kodac Lab in Rochester, New York got a copy of the Zapruder film, one of the first day copies loaned to Dallas Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrels or the first day copy loaned to <em>LIFE</em> on Saturday morning, November 23, 1963, where the film was altered. </p> 9/11's Toxic Zone - Mayor Rudy Giuliani is just as much to blame as Christine Todd Whitmantag:transitionwhatcom.ning.com,2021-01-02:2723460:Topic:1791522021-01-02T13:36:52.990ZRichard McManushttp://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/DickMcManus

<p>Mayor Rudy Giuliani is just as much to blame as Christine Todd Whitman for the physical harm done to the 9/11 first responders, the construction workers, and the people who lived near or downwind from the World Trade Center dust.</p>
<p>Why didn’t the news media broadcast the dangers in breathing the air around the wreckage from the World Trade Center? Why didn’t OSHA closed down the area around the WTC site after workers were seen not following its rules for wearing respirators vs. just dust masks or not wearing any masks? </p>
<p>The press release did not make a case that any of these plans had ever resulted in any real action; nor did it dispute the fact that as late as the end of October, only 29 percent of the workers at the site were wearing respirators</p>
<p>Dr. Edwin M. Kilbourne, a high level federal scientist, issued a memo on <strong>September 12, 2001,</strong> to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention <strong>advising against the speedy return to buildings</strong> in the area because of possible hazards from various toxic materials.<sup> </sup></p>
<p>Associate City Health Commissioner Kelly McKinney on <strong>October 6, 2001</strong>, said that proper safety protocol for WTC site workers was not being enforced. (Source: Juan Gonzalez, "Clearing the Air with Truth", <em>New York Daily News</em>, September 5, 2001)</p>
<p>On September 18, 2001 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency head Christine Todd Whitman said in a press release that the air “did not pose a health hazard”,</p>
<p>The <strong>associate administrator</strong> added that she had also considered including information about the health risks of being exposed to particulate matter, but that the “CEQ official discouraged her from doing so.” In <strong>March 2004</strong>, the firm Berger & Montague filed a class action lawsuit against Christine Todd Whitman and two of <strong>her assistant administrators,</strong> as well as the EPA writ large.</p>
<p>MY COMMENT: Who are these <strong>assistant administrators?</strong></p>
<p>"The levels of cancer-causing asbestos, federal authorities said, experts cautioned workers at ground zero <strong>to keep wearing respirators.</strong> Air quality samples taken between September 13-27, 2001 at the rubble pile's so-called hot zone detected airborne asbestos <strong>nearly twice the permissible limit</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Don Carson</strong> who runs the National Hazardous Materials Training Program for the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) had been on the scene in Lower Manhattan since Sept. 15, 2001 distributing respirators and training workers on the spot in the safest methods to deal with potentially lethal materials. According to Carson and others, the high-risk frontline personnel resisted the respirators and other precautions. Carson said, “You do not smell asbestos. You may smell body parts, you may smell Freon. But <strong>it's the things you can't smell that can really hurt you the most</strong>.'"</p>
<p><strong>Philip Landrigan</strong>, director of environmental and occupational medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was working with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). </p>
<p><strong>Bruce Lippy</strong> was an IUOE industrial hygienist working on the World Trade Center site. He said he has taken some 60 samples from around the site, looking in particular for traces of lead and asbestos.</p>
<p><strong>John Moran</strong>, an engineer and industrial hygienist and consultant to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences said, “There is no excuse for what I saw.” Moran investigated working conditions at ground zero in the weeks after the Sept. 11<sup>th</sup>. There was no centrally organized effort to make sure that workers were actually getting the training and wearing the protection they needed."</p>
<p>MY COMMENT: Whose fault was that?</p>
<p>Health and Human Services Secretary <strong>Tommy Thompson</strong> dispatched more than 700 experts to ground zero, including specialists in biohazards, epidemiology, public health and the environment. He said, <strong>burning freon</strong> may have converted to another toxin<strong>, phosgene, used by the Nazis as a chemical weapon</strong>. The most potent threat is <strong>dioxin,</strong> a powerful carcinogen formed by burning PVC.</p>
<p> On Oct. 2, 2001 benzene levels from three spots around ground zero were measured at 42, 31 and 16 times higher than the OSHA standard. </p>
<p>Toxic Definitions: Benzene: A colorless liquid with sweet odor that evaporates into the air quickly, benzene is a highly flammable carcinogen. Breathing benzene can cause drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, headaches, rapid heart rate, vomiting, infection or tremors. Long-term exposure affects bone marrow and can cause anemia and leukemia. Breathing very high levels can cause death. Chlorinated dioxins are a group of 75 chemically related compounds that are crystals or colorless solids; they are odorless and carcinogenic. Health risks include several kinds of cancer, liver damage and severe skin disease, such as lesions. A single exposure to some dioxins can kill animals. Chlorinated dioxins can travel long distances in the air. Polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs): are a mixture of chemicals that have no smell or taste, cause cancer in animals and are considered a likely human carcinogen. Health risks include liver, stomach and thyroid damage, and anemia. PCBs also can cause behavioral and immunological changes in children. They can travel long distances in the air. Sulfur Dioxide: A colorless gas with a pungent smell; breathing high levels can cause severe airway obstructions, and burn the nose and throat.</p>

And you can learn the evidence that points to the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as being who plotted Kennedy's assassination and the cover up. The trigger pullers were most likely anti-Castro Cubans with their North American mafia associates. In my book about the Nixon Years you can learn how closely he was tied to the North American mafia and learn that General Alexander Haig Jr. was most likely the real deep throat. You can also in this book learn about the Nixon Administration running a death squad in Latin America that pretended to be working as a counter drugs operation. In my book about Bill Clinton's role in trafficking in cocaine and launder money with the CIA you can read about how CIA trafficking in opium during the Vietnam War continued from Latin America. In my book about 9/11 you will get a chance to use your common sense to question more.</p>

<p>Part 1 is about “<strong>The Evidential Reformation:</strong> <em>Facts as Scripture, Ecology as Theology</em>.” Part 2 is “<strong>Reality is Lord:</strong> <em>A Scientific View of God on a Rapidly Overheating Plane</em>t.” Part 3 is on “<strong>Grace Limits and Big Picture ‘Apocaloptimism’:</strong> <em>The Great Reckoning as Great Homecoming</em>.”</p>
<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-2103 alignright" src="https://integralpermaculture.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/theo-kitchener.jpg?w=129&h=150" alt="theo-kitchener" width="129" height="150"/><strong>What is ‘Apocaloptimism’?</strong> Michael Dowd first heard <strong><a href="http://thegreatstory.org/grace-limits-audios.html#theo">Theo Kitchener</a></strong> call herself an ‘apocaloptimist’. I’m guessing Kirchner is author of <a href="http://apocaloptimism.tumblr.com/">this post</a> discussing the term, and she first heard it from NASA scientist Peter C. Griffith. She describes it this way:</p>
<blockquote><p>Apocaloptimism is embracing the unknown, is embracing transformation. It is being okay no matter what the outcome is, but fighting like hell to steer it in the direction that you want.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Dowd has described himself as an ‘apocaloptimist’ because he is a short term pessimist (or realist), but a long term (big picture) optimist. Listen to a great <a href="http://www.beyondawakeningseries.com/2016/03/dowdpre/">interview with Terry Patten here</a>.</p>
<p>I provide below some teaser screenshots from this third video, to entice you in and to reinforce some key points.</p>

<p>The quote from Teilhard de Chardin above is important. <strong>Dowd believes that one of the most important systemic changes that needs to happen in the world is for us to learn to align self-interest with the well-being of the whole.</strong> My wife and I found the following quote from the presentation to be very meaningful:</p>
<blockquote><p>“[One of the] most important systemic things we need to do is to align self-interest with the well being of the whole. That’s how evolution has proceeded to create greater complexity over time.</p>
<p>When the self-interest of the parts and the well being of the whole are aligned, then when the part does well for the whole, it [the part] benefits. And when the part harms the whole, then it harms itself in some way.</p>
<p>So it is in its own self-interest to do the right thing to the whole. It’s called <strong>“consequence capture”</strong> – the impact of individuals and groups, for good or ill, must be reflected back to them.”</p>

<p>The following introduction to the video is copied and pasted from the webpage <strong><a href="http://thegreatstory.org/standing-for-the-future.html">“Standing for the Future.”</a></strong></p>

<p>Given our impact on Earth’s climate, the seas, and other species, humanity is already beginning to experience <b>The Great Reckoning</b>. The good news is that this is also <b>The Great Homecoming</b>: the prodigal species, after squandering our inheritance, coming home to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rev-michael-dowd/god-is-a-personification-_b_2866764.html" target="_blank">Reality (God)</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegreatstory.org/what_is.html">Big History — the Epic of Evolution or Universe Story</a> — is humanity’s first and only inclusive, globally produced, evidence-based creation story. In this culminating episode, Dowd shows how this <a href="http://thegreatstory.org/what_is.html">Great Story</a> provides <b>clear and compelling guidance</b> to help our species ‘obey’ (honor) physical and ecological processes that have been at work for hundreds of millions of years. He offers both <b>practical tools of resilience and an empowering vision of collective action</b> in response to climate chaos and other large-scale systemic challenges.</p>

<p>A follow-up from <a href="https://integralpermaculture.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/michael-dowd-standing-for-the-future/">last week’s post</a>, I share with you Part 2 of Michael Dowd’s video series, “Standing for the Future.” You can view <a href="https://youtu.be/lrkQUGUKa64">Part 1 here</a>. The text right above the video is just copied and pasted from Dowd’s <a href="http://thegreatstory.org/standing-for-the-future.html">website</a>.</p>
<p>There are two quotes from this video that I found especially important and meaningful. First on <strong>The Importance of Personification</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The words ‘God’ and ‘evolution’ are both pointing to the same divine creative process. Both answer the question ‘How did we get here?’ One uses the mythic language of religion, the other uses the literal language of science. Arguing whether it was God or evolution that created everything is like debating whether it’s Uncle Sam or the U.S. government that insists we pay taxes every year, or like quarreling over whether it was Gaia or plate tectonics that created the oceans and mountains. Such silly and largely unnecessary confusion will remain the norm until we get and celebrate what I think is the single most important scientific discovery about religion in the last 500 years: <em><strong>personification</strong></em>. – Michael Dowd</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The second quote is in support of Michael Dowd’s conviction that <strong>Ecology is the new Theology</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Every characteristic that we attribute to the divine derives from our experience of Nature. If we imagine God as beautiful, gracious, loving, awesome, powerful, majestic, or faithful, it is because we have known or experienced beauty, grace, love, awe, power, majesty, or trustworthiness in the world. – Michael Dowd</p>
<p>“If we lived on the moon and that’s all we and our ancestors had ever known, all of our concepts and experience of the divine would reflect the barrenness of the lunar landscape.” – Thomas Berry</p>
</blockquote>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">“We each have experienced times of trouble that threaten to overwhelm our individual lives. In such times, <b>a vision of possibility is essential</b>. The same holds for the punctuations in history when whole societies face troubles of an immense and uncharted variety. Truly, we have arrived at such a time. Humans, unwittingly, have become a planetary force. We are irreversibly changing the very climate of our world. Henceforth, any actions we take as individuals and societies will be done in the new light of climate change.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><i>What vision will carry us forward through such times and inspire us to work together? How shall we frame the need to shed our business-as-usual outlook on life and take on a new vision of possibility that can unite us as a species in joyful self-sacrifice and service? What vision will charge us with a sense of heroic purpose that the future is, indeed, calling us to greatness?”</i></span></p>
