About this listen

We live in a time of global crisis. All of the crises are interlinked at their core, expressions of what we have called a global intimacy disorder. The urgent need for coherent action is existential.

Every crisis has the potential to be a birth. Crisis is an evolutionary driver. Evolution is not happening to us. Rather, evolution is happening in us. We are called to radically realize and be lived as the transformation.

Our power and greatest pleasure is the capacity for transformation. We begin with our own transformation. But as we deepen into gnosis we realize that our transformation itself ripples out in all of Reality, ultimately transforming the whole thing.

The challenge for all of us is to deeply feel both the pain and pleasure of the whole. There is almost never birth without pain. Our willingness to unguard our hearts and feel Reality's throbbing pain also gives us access to her throbbing pleasure.

Reality is driven by Eros. The interior of Eros is pleasure. The highest pleasure is transformation. Every human being is born to affect a unique personal and a unique social transformation. To fulfil this call is the greatest pleasure.

We need to claim our power of transformation. We realize that love and power are not opposites. The love of power is inseparable from the power of love. We are willing to encounter our cosmic significance.

We re-write the source code of Reality towards a future that works for everyone. We are able to stand in the trembling joy of responsibility. We show up as Evolutionary Lovers on the abyss of darkness and proclaim, Let there be Light.
