Thanks, Jim. Tracking progress is challenging. It would include the growing movement of ecological awareness, that we humans are part of the living Earth and must care for her ecosystems. It would include the movement of mindfulness. Next steps, would be continuing in those directions. If you are referring to the talk among so-called Christian nationalists of a civil war, they have not had an existential awakening to the unity of humanity and the Earth. They are trapped in a false Christian narrative of a divine savior. What are your thoughts on all of this?
From Dr. Nikhil Chandavarkar: "A timeless essay as relevant to the 20’s of this century as it was to the 60’s of the past century when Rob wrote it. Alas, prevalent political culture and its practitioners have not evolved much since then nor taken up the spiritual challenge Rob posed in the essay. Yet, all world servers need to persist untiringly in promoting and speaking up for the ideals expressed in the essay, rowing against the prevailing political currents that rely on mind-molding of electorates by the mainstream media."
Thank you, Nikhil! Thank you for your life's work with the UN caring for humanity and for the beautiful, powerful stories that you have recently published.
Thank you, Rob, for this stimulating set of ideas to support humanity by going beyond our narrow priorities and aspirations limited to national jurisdictions.
From Jim Wiegel: "Good essay!! How to track progress, next steps? Is it this identity shift that is causing talk of civil war??"
