1 " We need to manifest a dominant paradigm for the liberation of people and planet based on mutual care and consideration. And love. We need to reboot our world with a unified vision to achieve this end. In this new zeitgeist, we can come together around creating a world for fully functional, fully integrated, fully realized individuals as the premise for coexistence. "
― Michael Ronin , Modern Masculinity for the Conscious Man: Making Sense in Troubled Times
2 " Those of us who live with peace in our hearts can barely face the shock of this existence, as the pain of our collective experience exceeds the scope of our comprehension. We watch news reports and conclude that the world is tragically insane. "
3 " A good death follows a life lived honorably, which may mean living a truth outside of civilized norms. "
4 " Many people have something they love passionately. It could be collecting old farm implements, cross country skiing, foraging for mushrooms, or playing the harmonium. They devote themselves to their interests—obsessively practicing, learning, researching, and talking with those who share their passion. But when it comes to the person we love most in our lives, we don’t do any of this. And then wonder how it all went wrong. "
5 " Within suffering, there is a message. Suffering tends to take us to a convergence of what is bearable and what is not—a do or die situation. We are now at that juncture where we are either going to do things very differently or face our demise. We’ve are reaching the final act of a species-wide experiment based on the deep premise of how to go about being humans together in relationship to the world. "
