Received this message today from James Hensley, a friend in LA, and would like to share this with you.

Evolutionary Relationships

If we aspire to create a new consciousness and culture, then we can only do it together. On our own, unless we are firmly established at a new and higher stage of development, inevitably we're going to fall back. That's just our habitual tendency. But when we cultivate relationships with other individuals who are compelled by the same vision and possibilities as we are, who share the more evolved values, perspectives, and insights we are reaching for, we create a structure in consciousness between us that can support the very higher potentials we are trying to create. It is through sustaining and continuing to cultivate those relationships that a new world is literally created. We begin to actively engage together with life and what it means to be a human being in new ways. In doing this, the issues that we all have to deal with are brought into the light of the new perspective we are sharing and can be questioned and scrutinized. That's how new values, which form the building blocks of a new culture, are actually cocreated and codeveloped with other equally inspired individuals who want to take this next step with us. We need each other to do this!
