If we could see with the eye of the Creator, we would see the present politically disrupted, economically paralyzed, and socially writhing world slowly but ultimately breaking up, preparing the way for the birth of the new world.

The evolutionary shift rate is speeding up, though from our perspective this may seem slow. We cannot say when the birth process will finally be completed. Nor do we know for sure whether the just and equitable global society sought for by so many for so long will be achieved only after further unimaginable horrors resulting from blindly clinging to old patterns, or more quickly and smoothly by consciously embracing and acting upon the newly revealed spiritual principles of our time.

What we do know is that the choice is fully ours. It is a gradual and unfolding process of evolution that guides our collective progress in assuming responsibility and actively carrying forward an ever-advancing civilization.

            The world is birthing a whole new way of seeing the world. We are in the midst of a transformation of consciousness never before witnessed. Spiritual energies that have already been released will ensure the renewal of individuals and institutions, opening the way for a higher order of organization and well-being on earth. As Baha’u’llah said, “The object of every Revelation” is to “effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions.”
