"...We sit at the juncture of one of the most critical times of this planet. With each and every passing moment, we have a conscious choice to continue on this path of destruction and alienation or have the courage to stand up and face our demons. The greatest spiritual traditions of our world teach that the best way to combat these demons, whether they be in material form or in the depths of one’s own mind, is not through mimicking their dark methods but through love and compassion. Only when our actions spring from an honest and open heart can we begin to create a world free of the demons of fear, greed, and deception. Only when we have the courage to clearly see ourselves and freely admit how deeply we are entrenched in the darkness–how far we have allowed ourselves to fall from the pure light of truth and integrity–can we begin to dream a new world and give birth to a new shining age of spirit. For out of the ashes of the Kali Yuga the Golden Age is born. Out of the depths of darkness, light is born."
