11. There is a global movement for change happening before our eyes
Mon Jan 2, 2012, 05:35 PM
Jan 2012

I'm uncomfortable with New Age thought trying to coopt the outcome of the hard battles that have been fought and will be fought. This "revolution" didn't find its beginning in new religious movements. It found its beginning in economic oppression and the new technology which allows us to network, organize and communicate like no other time in history.

Love is a great idea but is certainly not the invention or provenance of theosophy or some new religion that wants to ride the coattails of history.

That being said, I honor people who quietly follow their own path to higher values in their lives.
