Our Sacred Mission: Learning To Dance with Mother Earth, featuring Ervin Laszlo with Foreword by Deepak Chopra, Introduction by Neale Donald Walsch, and Afterword by Kurt Johnson, from Light on Light Publications, and freely available via ISSUU, in follow-up from Humanity’s Sacred Mission: Restoring Our Evolution to the Planet which featured contributions from the Sacred Mission Symposium and Call to Action.
Ervin Laszlo on the message of OUR SACRED MISSION:
Driven by the hunger for power and wealth and enabled by the new technology, the human community is evermore separating itself from the world in which it has come to be. We are losing the race with the processes that we have inadvertently launched; the world around us and our own being in the world are becoming more and more unsustainable. If we continue on this path we risk growing crises and a major breakdown.
We need to change. This does not merely call for creating and obeying a few ecological commands, important as they are: it calls for new aspirations and a new pattern of behavior in the human community as a whole. The Call is for an essentially changed human presence on the planet.To use the metaphor featured in this book, we need to learn to dance not just on the planet, but with the planet.
The human being we need is already emerging among the people of the young generations. We need to embrace, intensify and accelerate its emergence. The book in front of the reader is dedicated to achieving this truly sacred mission. It offers the sense of being an integral and conscious part of the evolution that unfolds in nature and universe, and would also unfold on this planet if our shortsighted aspirations do not block it.
As conscious members of the human community, we need to wake up to our powers as well as responsibilities. The reader will encounter all that he or she needs to advance this cause in the context of a co-evolving, participatory world. Undertaking this challenge is the sacred mission to which this book is dedicated.
The vision of a better world beckons, and we can and surely will realize it. But if we are to do so in our lifetime, we need more wisdom and greater perseverance . These essential attributes are cited on the pages that follow. These pages are contributed by a small group of eminent thought-leaders, and are addressed, as the Call proclaimed here states, to all who are open to comprehending and adopting our sacred mission.
The imperative of our day is to awaken to the awesome privilege as well as unique responsibility of having been born a human being on planet Earth.
