What a challenge. Thanks Will. When I sit quietly and go inside my heart is telling me the challenge starts within and then goes out. To have the courage to really listen to my heart and love myself. And then fearlessly speak and act on that even when that may be difficult or unpopular or just not easy or convenient.
"A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history.
"On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions.
"When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic and social institutions, a holy force—the power of wisdom and love in action—is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism."
"For those who take up this challenge, please let me know what it is you will do that you’ve hesitated to do before. I’m thinking of mine and it’s scary!"
Please, let us know what is it that you will do which you’ve hesitated to do before, and why is it scary.
"What IS Mine to do between Now and Then?" It is to Ascend "in place", i.e. here on Earth. Seven years ago, I faced my own "Near Ascension Experience" (i.e. "Near Death Experience"). That's when I learned that my Heart (when pure), Mind (when purposeful) and Body (when kept healthy and fit) are prone to Ascend Here. So, I don't need to "Kick the Bucket" first! Then, I'll still be here to help others face theirs.
No violence in the quest to change the world . The human potential is far beyond our wildest dreams. Start a group of friends with like minded intentions- do something.

"This time we will be human." What a timely comment in the age of A.I.!
Yes! A group where love trumps fear... Imagine a bunch of them everywhere!
Hi Will, Here are my recent thoughts on what I might do. Don
Our Promise
This time
is like all the rest
only different.
This time
we won’t forget
kind words.
This time
we’ll understand
how pain
can change you.
This time
we’ll call on heaven
to guide us
through the chaos
and bless the earth
with the seeds
of love.
This time
we won’t
be deceived.
This time
we will
be human.
