Nobody has to tell me about the glories of the capitalist system. But what concerns me is that there no longer seems to be a commitment to make the opportunities afforded by technology and capitalism universally accessible.

Yes, we see that there are problems in the world. But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.

I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.

The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

If we never take a risk, we'll never know the parts of ourselves that would have emerged if we had.
