If Earth is considered a closed system, there will be less for all forever. The frontier is closed, the wilderness is gone, nature is being destroyed by human consumers, while billions are starving. The future indeed looks grim, and there are, ultimately, no really long-range, positive solutions, nor motivation for making the sacrifices and doing the hard work needed now, unless we understand that we are evolving from an Earth-only toward an Earth-space or universal species.

Everything you do counts forever. You are an expression of the whole process of creation; you are a cocreator.

The great human problem of evil stems from the illusion of separateness. Whenever this illusion is overcome, we behave lovingly to one another.

When we experience our own desire for transformation, we are feeling the universe evolving through us.

The social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally.

By understanding evolution as the expression of universal intelligence, now becoming conscious of itself within us, and as us, we overcome the dichotomy between current evolutionists who see no design in evolution, and creationists who often propose and anthropomorphic God as creator.

Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve.
