TAPE ONE: THE CREATIVE CHALLENGE OF GROUND ZERO AND A NEW PICTURE OF BEING HUMAN
Bethene: What can we propose or promise as a result of these
conversations?
Lynn: I don't know that we can promise anything other than that we
speak out of consciousness...that we are thinking large. We are speaking
as citizens of the world. We are speaking as citizens of the future.
We're also speaking as individuals, living our particular intimate
personal lives.
You have to ask yourself the serious question of "Why are you alive at
this particular time, in this particular century, during these
particular events in the history of the human being and as one of the
shapers of 9/12?
I know the struggle to make choices based on a large expansive future.
I know the struggle to take those decisions and apply them in what I do
in the course of a single day. We're not asking for an easy life, easy
possibilities. This is profoundly challenging. But when are we going
to do it if we don't do it now?
What greater wake-up call would we need beyond Ground Zero? It is a
sacred site. Using the word sacred reminds me that we are also pursuing
a spiritual reality in our future, not one of religious dogma but a real
awareness of the sacredness of the planet and the sacredness of the
individual.
We are looking at "what is the human soul?" How does this human soul
function? How does the human soul relate to the rest of the human
being?
Bethene: Remembering that it's the soul that's the shaper of our world,
was the shaper of 9/10 and it will be the shaper of 9/12 as well.
