In the beginning, we will be shifting our identity into a we mode amidst people who are still firmly entrenched in the I . We will be approaching in cooperation people who have been taught to compete. We will come to truly desire a collective good in a world where many people are still out for themselves alone. We will risk being taken advantage of. It might appear that we are putting our survival at risk.
Risk is always part of the game.
We will be pioneering a new frontier. Many of us share a concept of wholeness, but there is a world of difference between a concept and an experience. The point of a spiritual journey is not intellectual understanding. None of us can be a People by ourselves, and yet, in order to create true community, we need to achieve a sense within us that our welfare is NOT separate from that of other beings. If we are to achieve our goal, arriving at that inner place must be supported by the actions we take that define how we live our lives.
