country, creating unity from a great diversity of traditions, cultures, philosophies and religions. T is is our shared inheritance. Ultimately, Sacred America, Sacred World is about building
a movement of awake, conscious and caring citizens who are powerfully committed to building a new era for America.
How do we do this? America can fulfi ll its higher potential and promise in the way that parallels how an individual matures to his or her next level of develop- ment. I believe that America’s next level of expression is within each of us, but it requires that we do some internal housecleaning, clearing out the past, letting go of our diff erent political polarizations, being more solutions-focused and more focused on fulfi lling our larger mission in service to the globe, rather than just in service to ourselves. We have to go beyond partisan warfare to embrace those with
other political views as our deepest allies. T ey are also part of the team that is here to help America shine; yes, even the people you can’t stand. In short, we need to open to a vision of possibility for our coun- try, one in which we successfully navigate the crises, polarizations and political warfare of today to create a country that refl ects our highest ideals and that truly serves the birth of a new, global era for humanity, one that is peaceful, sustainable, healthy and prosperous.

Why are the largest demonstrations in our history against racial discrimination not only an issue for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), but also for
all of humanity? Living in a culture that accepts oppression of others holds back the development of everyone. It increases fear, decreases compassion and leads us to think more of personal safety than the good of the whole. If we are to move toward being a global society that honors the sanctity of all life, racism and the eff ects of racism must stop. Doing so creates a context in which we can all raise conscious children, and black, indig- enous and other people of color can have the opportunity to make their full creative contribution to the whole as well.
