"True mysticism is not, and cannot be, a private affair. It is by nature redemptive, as Christ is, and so we must become Christ, enacting the resurrection of the living Cosmic Christ in our beings and then our actions, to transform society and bring healing to all its suffering, broken parts through love, imagination, peacemaking, and environmental, moral, and social justice."
Restoring the mystical mind of compassion (the Christian work of love) can bring a global renaissance to the entire world, including every aspect of society, from religion to sexuality, from peace-making and disarmament to mentoring the young.
The Cosmic Christ is the Logos.
The Cosmic Christ IS "The One".
The Cosmic Christ is "the pattern that connects" (in the words of anthropologist Gregory Bateson, in "Steps to an Ecology of Mind", and quoted by Matthew Fox in "The Coming of the Cosmic Christ")
The Cosmic Christ is the pattern that interconnects everything that is. It is the pattern that holds the Oneness of being.
Human beings can incarnate or become the Cosmic Christ in their own personal being, by becoming attuned to the divine template or divine pattern.
"Logos designates the power of 'reason;' the pattern or order of things; the principle of relationship; and an articulation of something."
In general, the Logos has the following meanings: 1.) Order or pattern. 2.) Ratio or proportion. 3.) A discourse, articulation or account, even a 'sermon.' 4.) Reason, both in the sense of rationality and in the sense of an articulation of the cause of something. 5.) Principle or cause (logoi=principles, ratios, reasons). 6.) A principle of mediation and harmony between extremes."
Let us contemplate the one simple nature of that peaceful unity which joins all things to itself and to each other, preserving them in their distinctiveness and yet linking them together in a universal and unconfused alliance.

Everything is interconnected through "the pattern that connects" (in the words of epistemologist Gregory Bateson).
All things are One. The sense of individuation is a human perception, that creates "duality". We do need to think in terms of "the many", but from an absolute point of view, the Many IS the One.
The "patterns that connects" can be interpreted as the "Cosmic Christ" -- perhaps as an interpretation of the words "I am the vine, ye are the branches".
Love is the universal force that interconnects everything.
All that is - is One.
There is a "universal template of being". This is what the Bible means when it says "We are made in the likeness and image of God."
If we are "All One" -- that includes everybody -- not just the people I like, or the people who share my beliefs or ideas. It includes those I must strive against, and, if I have them, my enemies.
We are responsible to each other, the earth, and future generations.
There are enough resources for us all, if we share.
Free exchanges of information allow for greater, collective creative potential.
Love, care and compassion have the power to transform the fabric of society.
The divine resides within you, and the divine resides within me.
When the divine within me honors or unites with the divine within you, you and I become one. This is the principle of Namaste.
The union of namaste connects people "horizontally", from person to person. But it also connects each individually "vertically", directly to the universal.

Globalization forces are transforming us all.
We are witnessing the birth of the true "Universal Human"
As human beings interact with ideas and energies from once-foreign or external cultures, they become broader, their insights expand, they become more universal
We believe that to unite as a human species, we need to engage, globally, in dialogue that will help bring our collective interests and objectives into focus. Only then can we truly begin to work together in a spirit of creative cooperation so necessary to our survival.
In the final analysis, change is all about motivation, and if we can see that beneath our many differences is a powerful undercurrent of connection — reflected in our common origins and our shared hopes for a better world for ourselves and for our children — we will find the motivation we need to change in ways that benefit not only some small group, but humanity, and life, as a whole.
A global mind-shift is a change in HOW we think.
We must learn to see the world and ourselves from an ever-broadening perspective.
Problems are signs that a way of thinking is obsolete.
Problems such as global warming, resource depletion, conflict, disparity between rich and poor -- 1) they are all global, and 2) they are all interconnected.
Rather than seeing ourselves as parts and pieces, we need to see ourselves as interconnected pieces of a larger whole. That's what we mean by a global mind-shift.
OM / AUM is a universal harmonic that takes the form of Oneness. It holds all things in unity, and heals fragmentation, confusion, and "illusion" ("maya").
By meditating on OM, an individual human being is guided towards their own higher self, the "pure ground of being", and the spiritual essence of every other human being.
This project is brand-new and in progress. Everything is taking shape at the same time, everything is changing and growing.
