Dear Ron, In April,1963 Martin Luther King, Jr. penned a letter from his jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama. He was the leader of the civil rights movement and was upset. He was clear that many understood the pain, suffering and injustice of people of color being badly mistreated yet most people were silent. Here is an excerpt from the letter he hand wrote: Over 50 years have passed and now we are in the midst of another crisis, a crisis based on spiritual illiteracy. In today’s worldview there is an impression the universe is not an interconnected, living system and that life can be exploited. We’ve lost our sense of service to life itself. Pope Francis, in his encyclical, urgently appealed for dialogue concerning migrants, the poor, nature and the Earth and described these challenges as essentially spiritual problems. Ken Wilber calls our crisis a "flatland."Neale Donald Walsch calls it a "separation pathology." Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee said, "sadly we remain cut off, isolated from the spiritual dimension of life itself." This is where you and I come in. Martin Luther King, Jr's call to action is as relevant today as it was in 1963. But, will we resist the temptation to be silent and instead join with others in calling for a global s ociety where we live as One? Iyanla Vanzant, Desmond Tutu, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Gray Zukav, Ken Wilber, Jean Houston, Ervin Laszlo, Neale Donald Walsch, Nassim Haramein, Dean Radin, Doreen Virtue, Patricia Cota-Robles, Andrew Harvey, James O’Dea and Matt Kahn are only a few of the leaders devoting themselves to this cause. They are volunteering their time so we collectively have a voice, so we can stand up and be counted, so we create a culture that is life enhancing, life supporting and life sustaining. It is time for a turning point! Are you in? Please check out the program: http://www.globalonenesssummit.org/ It is complimentary and if you miss any part of it you can listen-in at no charge for 48 hours.

Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
