  • I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis that we are in.

  • A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm.

  • At a time when unbridled greed, malignant aggression, and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity, we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.

  • In the kind of world we have today, transformation of humanity might well be our only real hope for survival.

  • The knowledge of the realm of death makes it possible for the shaman to move freely back and forth and mediate these journeys for other people.
