Do we have the human tools necessary to hold a space open so this transition can occur? Or are we, especially in the USA, creating a new priesthood based in the unconscious assumptions of the dominant culture? Having just returned from North Africa, and having worked for five years on environmental issues in Eastern Europe, I sometimes despair at our inability to understand the vast issues at play in other cultures, and to deal with the paradox of defining a consciousness that denies other's realities.
How do we acquire, to use Nathan Gardel's phrase, an authentic, global, "magnanimous soul"?
