By Michael Brine
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no person could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!”
Goethe
“When Love and Power unite Almighty Grace endows Mankind.” Schuler
Humanity has moved into a critical period of time. Before us stand two portals. We have a choice. One is to repeat the mind-set of the past several thousand years, and thus keep digging an ever-deepening grave – OR – we can embark on a new and exciting adventure into, as yet, largely unchartered waters. The choice is ours – as a species – as individuals.
The past is laid out before us, in this moment in time, to reflect on all its horrors and tragedies. In our blindness, we have sadly contributed to it, in most cases out of ignorance, blindly following the cultural conditioning in which we have been raised, as were our parents and their parents back, back into the mists of darker times.
