“Knowledge about the divine plan of evolution brings a great sense of peace but also responsibility.  To change the world, awareness of spiritual realities has to be born in the collective consciousness and the responsibility falls on me, on us, to radiate soul consciousness.  This means thinking and acting from the soul, and recognizing the unity between my soul and all others.  It’s about realizing that soul consciousness is Christ consciousness, and Buddha nature, and Ātmā, and all representations of Self.”

“It’s in everyday life that we’re called to live the essence of soul awareness.  That’s where we can embody the oneness of all things in simple ways—being kind, listening to others, creating a sense of community—ways that will help shape the new humanity and create a new world.  This is already happening and has been gaining momentum in the last few years.  Peace comes when humans realize that there is no ‘other.’  We are not separate.  That’s the basis of the new humanity.”

“Through the letters from our spiritual Elders, our group gatherings and daily meditations, waves of spiritual energy are released that make us more aware of our oneness and our shared responsibility to live as souls in all spheres of our lives.”

“By connecting to our group soul, I ‘ve been able to draw on a deep well of spiritual love.  This love has had the effect of raising my vibrational frequency and has given me the ability to stay out of fear, despite dire circumstances.”

“Living in soul consciousness much of the time, when the lower energy of the personality shows up it is easier to release it and return to the beauty, love and wholeness of the vibration of the soul.” 

“The books written by Blavatsky, Bailey, Roerich, and others have given us the esoteric foundations for creating a new world.  They prepared us for this moment—to ‘come out of the books’ and live as disciples, as was always intended.  Spiritual work is essentially about selfless service to the divine Plan.” 

“Our experience has thinned the veil between the human and spiritual realms, helping me to live more as a soul than a personality.  I’ve also gained a planetary consciousness—one family, one humanity, one breath, one Life.”

“I have come to realize myself as a soul in physical form and this is heightened by absorption into the group soul.  I am experiencing daily life through an expanded awareness of the light and love flowing from higher beings.  The radiant heart of the Christ is growing in my awareness and guiding my life.”

“When the love of the soul takes hold, we realize that criticism harms the one giving it as well as the one receiving it, since we’re aware that we are not separate.  There are no longer ‘others’.”

“A Presence now resides in my field of awareness.  It is a reference point that waxes and wanes throughout the day, but always returns.  This Presence has grown in me through the letters from our Elders, daily meditations, and community gatherings.”  

“I know that I am an eternal soul experiencing life on earth through this vehicle called a body.  I know that I create my own life experiences by the way I direct my thoughts, emotions and actions.  I know that I am one with every other being in every kingdom of life on earth and in the Universe, and as such, anything I do affects not only me, but the one Life.  By the same token, since I am part of the one Life, everything that happens affects me.”

“What we know from experience is more reliable than what we know intellectually.  I can only transmit to others what is already alive in me—what lives in my consciousness.  What I know about the new world is that it is about expressing and transmitting the light of the soul to one another, walking among people and perceiving what unites us, and realizing that the soul is our most precious possession.  It is who we are.”

“We know that the Universe seeks to maintain homeostasis and that the Law of Karma or Cause and Effect provides constant feedback.  This expands our awareness of the power to create—for good or for ill.  From experience, I now know that the world will evolve through cooperation, not competition.  I realize that I have to take ownership of the state of my life, the life of Earth, and the affairs of our world, and be willing to take responsibility for the creation of a new Earth.”

“There is a love that lies beyond any seeking of reward for the little self.  This love is a natural outpouring of the soul.  It endows the human being with the capacity to express goodness—a characteristic of the soul.  This is how we will create a new world.”

“I am more detached from the endless flux of my emotional self, more aware when I’m off-base.  There is greater consciousness of subtle realities and gratitude for the love that exists in every moment.”

“I’ve known that Love is a force that one can choose to wield or not.  But working under the guidance of the Ashram, love has become more spontaneous and expansive than before.  Where there was criticism, there is now compassion.  Where there was absence of care, there is now loving concern.  The love that has grown within our group is tangible proof of our soul connectedness.”

“We have to learn to listen through the heart and follow the whispers of the soul in daily life, until the whispers become a clear and constant voice revealing the path to ‘life more abundant’.  To pay attention to the soul, we have to strengthen the ‘muscle’ needed to shift one’s consciousness every day.  This practice leads to reverence for the soul in all life and the realization that as souls, we are one.”

“I have grown in many ways since becoming part of this group.  Through our daily meditation practice, I’ve managed to feel at peace in the eye of the swirling storms of life.  No matter how dire world leadership has appeared or how desperate our dying planet, I’ve been able to remain peacefully detached from the unfolding drama, knowing that the growing wave of awakening souls on our planet will not only survive, but will thrive in the subtler reality of the new era.”
