About Me
"That which purports to be spiritual growth but does not involve an active compassion is not really growth at all. Whether we are seeking to heal ourselves or our planet, we must commit acts of compassion that go beyond the individual, beyond what is convenient, and beyond the confines of the status quo. Individual acts of kindness and compassion will not of themselves provide enough loving energy to transform our civilization. Rather, we must make love the center of all our enterprises - collective, as well as individual. When harmlessness toward life becomes a personal, social, economic, and political imperative, we will be on our way at last to the restoration and regeneration of our civilization. We have an opportunity at this time in history to completely change the course of human civilization. That opportunity is not simply an option anymore, it is a gauntlet thrown down by the forces of history, before a generation still not yet decided whether money and power or love and brotherhood should form the basis of society. And we will decide, or life will decide for us. The human species will learn to become profoundly compassionate toward itself and toward all life. We will learn it through wisdom, or we will learn it through pain. But we will learn, because it's God's will that we become the people He has created us to be. It's not up to us where we are going - but how we get there, and when, is determined by the choices every one of us makes, every moment of every day." ~Marianne Williamson linda o'neill
