The Paradigm for the Cultural Change in 21st Century
Even as the new millennium begins, we are lost. In this chaos, we may win or lose everything, depending on our consciousness. The mind that caused our problems cannot solve the problems. We have to be able to find a common basic code to be shared by diverse cultures and ethnic groups. We must recognize our fundamental oneness in order to find creative solutions for our global crisis.
Within each individual human being, there is a dynamic desire for the common truth. Each individual has a never-used immeasurable potential, to develop the mind and body. Education and spiritual experience designed to help people recognize and actualize their potential can help optimize oneself as a human being. Global communication through the internet has brought together diverse cultures and consciousness. We are now required to turn to a new spiritual perspective that allows us to understand that everything is integrated in oneness. The more we recover the spirituality in our individual lives, the more we will advance in the direction of “possible human” and the “possible society”. We have that power and we must use it.
