Practice One
Ask for forgiveness as a representative of the human race—for all our harm to the Earth, its rapidly shrinking biodiversity and the cruelty and violence we do to each other. Act as a surrogate for the whole human race: this is a practice of representing universal responsibility.

Practice Two
From the same whole humanity perspective affirm the flowering of the conscience and consciousness to heal Earth and all its peoples. Let your heart open as a representative of all hearts opening across the planet.

We are holograms of the whole: let us pray as such.
