A civilization which develops only on its material side,
and not in corresponding measure in the sphere of the spirit
is like a ship with defective steering gear that gets out of
control at a constantly accelerating pace, and thereby heads
for catastrophe.

– Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)

When we awaken to the evolutionary impulse, we realize a completely new relationship to what it means to be alive and what it means to be ourselves here and now. Not only do we discover a freedom to be ourselves that we’ve never known before, but even more importantly we find a reason for living with intense commitment and liberated passion that gives us an incomparable sense of personal, philosophical, and spiritual self-confidence. We suddenly begin to understand, in ways that both include and transcend our intellect, that the reason we are here on Earth (once all of our basic survival needs have been met) is not merely to experience security, comfort, pleasure, or even peace of mind but to develop. We realize that we are here to consciously evolve, to intentionally do anything and everything we can to unleash all of the extraordinary creative potential within so that the human race’s next step can, in some small but not insignificant way, emerge through us.

To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two
greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of
mind.
