The agenda for this conversation is simple: After introducing yourself to the group, read, reflect on, and discuss the statement below. What does it say to you?
As humans,
we believe that our highest purpose is to discover,
live, and communicate what is needed to achieve a world
that functions for the benefit of all life.
Our home is a water planet called Earth, cradled in a
universe of beauty, mystery, and unfolding drama.
We now know that everything from the largest galaxy
to the smallest particle is part of one unified,
whole, interconnected system.
Each of us, individually, is important and unique. However,
at this moment in history, we are being called to set aside
any narrow self-interests and to act with integrity,
consciousness, and a spirit of goodwill.
Recognizing our common destiny, we envision a world in
which love becomes the prevailing human function,
cooperating together with all cultures, races, nations, and
religions for the benefit of all life.
