“I do not know why we were made believers during the time of the great turning, but there we are. We are one of the hinge-generations, people living in historical periods of great and deep change. We did not choose this for ourselves, but I believe it was chosen for us by a power greater than we can comprehend. Our task is to help as many people as we can to make the transition safely and in peace. We may not live to see all of the outcome, but what we do today will alter reality for many generations to come. Let us accept this mission with a courageous humility and go forth together in faith.”
