This is an important time for humanity, perhaps a most pivotal one. There are more people than ever before identifying with spiritually aligned and integral choices for themselves and the planet. Yet, there is virtually no infrastructure to encourage and nourish this new consciousness in a material way.

Why is this? A few observations:

• In the U.S. as well as many other countries, there is a challenging institutionalized illusion: Under social law there is a tenet that there be separation of church and state.
• Modern society equates spirituality with religion (church);
• Therefore spirituality has no place in civil (governing) society.
• Add to this, the reduction by modern culture of nearly all relationships to mere commodity exchanges and then mix well the rejection of wealth and power by those good people of "righteous" hearts and minds and we have quite a challenge.

Given the situation, however, how can humanity not afford to invest in an enlightened future?

There are at present still too few people who integrate conscious service to global awakening and with strong experience in the world. A new set of spiritually aligned leaders - young and old - need to be encouraged and assisted in every way. All of our work and that of many others who are also called to this level of service needs to be served by global-level infrastructure and processes optimized to serve the qualities and purposes this work requires.

We believe that active collaborative relationship between even a modest number of key innovators has the potential to produce some very powerful synergistic results - results that could catalyze many more who are truly looking for a new way to do things.

The issue of a new fabric for human society -a new infrastructure, one purely intended to facilitate in every way possible an emerging new consciousness and to materially aid the manifesting of a more positive and compassionate future - is most needed now.

This represents "bridging suffering with awakening."
