Dear Ones,

I was listening this evening to a lecture that addresses the evolution of consciousness on our planet. While it would take quite a bit of time to summarize it, I wanted to share a quote / more than one quote from a person who had a significant impact on the evolution of the country where he lived. And the world as a whole.

I will not give you his name – it’s a man – yet it should be easy to figure out who he was.

Looking forward to sharing a few moments of “evolving consciousness” with you all tomorrow!

Love & much Light,

Gilles

Here is a quote from a more recent sojourner on the planet. It is worthy of  consideration in the context of the evolution of our planet.

“An individual has not begun to live until he can rise above the narrow horizons of his particular individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. This is one of the biggest problems of life, that so many people never quite get to the point of rising above the self. Thus, they end up the tragic victims of self-centeredness. They end up the victims of distorted and disrupted personality.

Life has its beginning, and its maturity comes into being when an individual rises above self to something greater. Few individuals ever learn this, and so they go through life merely existing and never living. Now, you see signs all along the way in your everyday life with individuals who are victims of self-centeredness. They do not have the capacity to project the “I” into the “thou.” They do not have the mental equipment for an eternal, dangerous, and sometimes costly altruism. They live a life of perpetual egotism, and they are the victims all-around of the egoic predicament.”

And a few more quotes that defined this person’s legacy.

“Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.”

“Peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

“It is not enough to say that we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and to sacrifice for it.”

“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.”

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

“We are not makers of history, we are made of history.”
