We need the worldview that’s always been there, but is mostly buried in what are called the world’s wisdom traditions — and that have now, for the first time in over 300 years, the solid backing of science. The core of this worldview for our purposes is its strikingly different image of who we are as human beings. We are not primarily separate bodies, as advertisers and others try incessantly to tell us. We are body, mind, and spirit, or consciousness — indeed primarily consciousness. And that has tremendous consequences.

Science has become a powerful ally in creating a vitally needed "new story" for our culture which will greatly facilitate the transition to a world of peace and justice.

There are spiritual laws in the universe, and they can be discovered, and used. Despite appearances, love flows in the heart of every human being.

The new sciences support insights of the ancient mystics-that we are fundamentally interconnected, that the diversity of cultures provides "unlimited richness," and that each of us contain the seeds of the whole world order.
