Once we acknowledge and then recognize the world as a living being with its own light, then we can be present where life comes into being, and it is here that we can participate, where our spiritual awareness can be present. Without this conscious awareness of creation as a living being, we stand on the periphery, an unconscious spectator of our own destiny and the destiny of the world. Taking responsibility for our planet does not mean just an ecological awareness, but a recognition that the light awakening in the world needs our presence and participation.
