The difficulty with humanity's previous attempts at reinventing itself is that we've always started with behaviors rather than with beliefs.
Virtually all of the civil laws in all of the world's societies are based on what humanity, in the earliest days, believed to be God's Law.
What is needed in the world today is a Civil Rights Movement for the Soul, freeing humanity at last from the oppression of its belief in a violent, angry, and vindictive God.
The problems facing humanity today are spiritual problems, and they can only be solved by taking a long, hard look at what it is we all believe.
I believe that humanity now is desperately calling for new ideas. These new ideas must come from spiritual teachers and artists, from poets and philosophers, from educators and ecologists, from postal clerks and miners and traffic cops and nurses and waiters and musicians and cooks and cleaners and from...Regular People Everywhere. That is to say, from YOU.
All change in life comes from within. It is what's in humanity's soul, not what's in humanity's wallet, that will purchase our freedom from humanity's suffering.
The problem facing humanity today is not a political problem; it's not a financial problem; it's not a military problem. It's obviously a spiritual problem. That is, it has to do with what we believe to be true about who we are, where we are, why we are where we are, and what are we doing on the Earth. What is the purpose of life itself? What we need right now are leaders or models, people who will stand up and not only help to write a cultural story, but help to model it in the way that they interact with each other.
It's time to tear up the canvas and start over. It's time for the overhaul of humanity.
When even those who should be happy by any reasonable measure are also not happy, there's got to be a serious systemic problem in humanity's culture.
