Our Vision
We believe it is possible for all of us to live in a peaceful world. That will only happen when peace is established in our personal lives.
As our personal wars end, as we begin to access more and more of our innate creativity and intelligence with the ability to come from a loving place, we will begin to see our world transform. There are ancient texts that describe a time when life was lived in abundance. Many Western scholars dismiss these descriptions as myths. We believe they are no more myths than if our current world was described to someone living in the 8th century.
Our world will blossom in ways we cannot even imagine as we begin to discover and live life from the level of unbounded, infinite creativity and intelligence that is our true nature. That nature has been covered up, hidden by the accumulation of concepts, beliefs and stories we've told ourselves that are simply not true. As we begin to open to a world of unconditional love and infinite possibilities, we will start to see the impossible become possible.
To give you a taste of what that might look like, here is one of the ancient descriptions:
"All the great sages came to the capital every day . . . and forgot all their indifference to the world the moment they saw the city, with its attics built of gold and jewels, and having splendid pavements laid in diverse colors. A most beautiful boundary wall with its battlements painted in different colors enclosed the city on all sides . . . The ground (the streets and squares, etc.) was so beautifully paved with crystals of various colors that the mind of the greatest sages would be enrapatured at the sight. The white palaces were so high as to reach the skies; their shining pinnacles put to shame, as it were, the effulgence of the sun and the moon. Latticed windows made of diverse precious stones shone here and there . . .
"The mansions were illumined by jewels that served as so many lamps and had shining thresholds made of coral, pillars of jewels and walls of gold inlaid with emeralds, which were as lovely as though they had been built by the Creator himself. Beautiful, charming and commodious as the palaces were, they had their courtyards inworked with crystal, and every gate thereof was provided with doors of gold embossed with diamonds.
"Every house was equipped with a hall adorned with lovely frescos . . . in such beautiful colors that they would ravish the soul of a sage who looked at them.
"Everyone had a flower garden planted in a characteristic design and trimmed with the greatest care, in which beautiful and lovely creepers of every variety blossomed all the year round as in the venral season. . .
"The bazars were splendid beyond description; things could be had without any consideration there. How can anyone describe the wealth of the city . . .? All men, women, children and aged folk alike were happy, all of good conduct and comely in appearance."
There is no reason that our wold cannot once again give expression to the infinite abundance that is inherent in life. We see the end of poverty, hunger, disease, crime, war and all behavior that brings unhappiness to the family of man and woman.
We cannot even imagine the world we can live in when our hearts are filled to overflowing, when our relationships are based on giving, when we have an abundance of everything we need. Yet it is time to begin imagining it, because what we think we become. Where we put our attention always grows stronger in our lives, and so let's choose to put our attention on all the good that is flowing to us every moment of every day.
We start now by sharing with you as much of our love and learnings as you wish to receive. Thank you for taking an interest in our work and we look forward to our friendship.
With love and gratitude,
Chris and Janet
