Music stimulates within us direct experience of expanded reality

In the past our glorious visions of the future - heaven, paradise, nirvana - were thought to happen after death. The newer thought is that we do not have to die to get there. We are not speaking here of life after death in some mythical heaven, but life more abundant in real time in history. We are speaking of the next stage of our social evolution.

I think it's innate in human nature to want to make a difference, to make your life meaningful.

We hold these truths to be self-evident; All people are born creative; Endowed by our Creator with the inalienable right and responsibility to express our creativity for the sake of ourselves and our world.

I think we're in a global crisis of unprecedented scale, with global warming and climate change, and we don't have the solution using any of the separated structures that are attempting to solve these issues, whether it be the United Nations, or the global corporations.

We are moving from unconscious evolution through natural selection to conscious evolution by choice.

Evolutionary circles are one of the key social forms in which people are connecting and can connect to make a difference throughout the world.
