Colleagues, Echoes from the past.
This quote from *Evolutionary Enlightenment--A New Path to Spiritual Awakening *by Andrew Cohen (Select Books New York 2011, p. 205):
*The future is not a given. What's going to happen is not already known and is not predetermined. The higher stages of consciousness and culture that lie in front of us *do not yet exist. *This sounds like a simple point, but it is profound. Many of us who are spiritually inspired tend to subscribe to metaphysical worldviews that tell us that the higher levels and stages of development are already laid out. But they're not. The newly emerging potentials in consciousness and culture have not yet appeared with enough consistency to become self-existing levels, or new "habits" in the interior fabric of the cosmos. They only come into being to the degree that you and I consciously participate together to develop those higher capacities in ourselves . . . *
* This is why the awakening human at the leading edge today bears such a profound responsibility to be an evolutionary pioneer--to be the one who is literally living in that place between the present and the future.*
