Most humans think of course-correcting civilization in terms of doing—i.e. it is assumed that we need more action. Hypothesis: Being, stillness, and silence are vastly more important.

2/ Action that flows from the paradigm of consciousness that birthed the present status quo can only bring more of the same. Dogmatic, rivalrous, egoic consciousness remains pervasive and cannot birth world-healing action.

3/ Non-dogmatic, omni-compassionate, trans-egoic consciousness will organically birth world-healing action. To unearth this level of awareness, stillness, meditation, and deep inner work are essential. Compulsive doing is a hindrance.

4/ A huge number of well-intentioned people are attempting to take world-improving action prior to substantially integrating the shadow and healing their own trauma, resentment, and ego-identification. Such efforts cannot create true, lasting change; they often lead to war.

5/ We cannot think our way to wise, world-healing solutions; it is not as simple as a specific set of actions. We must heal ourselves and _embody_ universal love and wisdom. What we _are_ is creating our future. The energy of our being permeates everything we do or create.
