The Awakening of the World

Now bless thyself: thou met’st with things dying,
I with things new-born.
Shakespeare The Winter’s Tale

May we be those who shall renew this existence.

Ephesians, 4.25

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

What is our responsibility at this time of global crisis? Many of us are only too aware of the precarious state of the world. We see and feel the tensions of terrorism, the plight of global poverty and hunger, and the ecological crisis that threatens our survival as a species.
