Finding Purpose at a Time of Challenge

"The aspects of our situation that make this [deep transformation of human civilization] inevitable include: the ecological crisis unleashed by human activity over the last centuries, the accelerated evolution of technology that has made us globally connected, and the integration of the world's esoteric and mystical traditions with modern scientific thought."         Daniel Pinchbec
