Let us be demonstrations of our own conscious evolution.
Barbara Marx Hubbard
Thank you everyone who is in Evolutionary Church.
I woke up this morning realizing that this is the heart of the matter: to come from spirit at this depth, to evolve ourselves, and our world.
There is no greater impulse than exactly that.
Many years ago, I heard these words, do not abandon my church, evolve my church into a new vehicle for new beings, and for the evolution of the body politic.
In resonance, we are gathered here together to evolve the church, to form a new gathering of pioneering souls worldwide, who hold within ourselves
— the impulse of the living Christ,
— the Living Divine,
— the awakening of the new human within ourselves,
— the expression of the Divine Intent of Universal Evolution for greater consciousness, freedom, and loving order,
— the 13.8 billion year trend.
Jesus told us, You will do the works that I did and even greater works will you do in the fullness of time because I go to the Father.
What does that mean? Who is the Father? Who is the Mother?
It is the source of creation within you, evolving you, uniquely you, as your full potential self, an evolutionary unique human forming the Evolutionary Church of humanity, joining with everyone everywhere in evolutionary temples, mosques, synagogues, cathedrals, wherever evolutionary humans are emerging, yearning to give our greater gifts of love to the evolution of the world.
Remember these words:
Love God above all else,
your neighbor as yourself,
yourself as a natural Christ,
a new human,
an Evolutionary Unique Self.
Combined with science and technology infused with love, you will all be changed.
You are all being changed now.
Let us be demonstrations of our own conscious evolution.
Marc, time for our prayer.
When we talk about prayer, what do we mean?
Dr Marc Gafni
Amen. Amen, Amen. Welcome to Evolutionary Church.
It’s such a radical delight to be with everyone. When we talk about prayer we want to actually evolve the word church, evolve the word God, and evolve what we mean when we talk about prayer. We want to step into the very source code of reality itself and participate in this evolution.
So, when we talk about prayer, what do we mean?
Do we mean prayer to a Santa Claus God in the sky? No.
Do we mean prayer to a God who demands an abandonment of self, and abandonment of goodness for the sake of obedience? No.
We told a story about a master, two weeks ago, who’s making a blessing and the blessing is blessed are you, and then, after that, there is a long text to the blessing that the pious would make every day before they ate or when they made grace after meals, but this master couldn’t get past the third word. He’d go, “Blessed are you, you, you, you, you. Oh my god, You!”
That’s prayer.
Prayer is the knowing that the personal face of the LoveIntelligence that is the initiating and animating Eros of all that is hears our words.
Prayer is the knowing that the third face of God, God in the third person, is the evolutionary impulse that awakens throughout all of reality. The evolutionary impulse, which is the ceaseless creativity of Kosmos, that lives in Kosmos — and not merely beyond Kosmos, that pulses Reality, that evolutionary impulse, is the third face of God.
The first face of God is when that evolutionary impulse, which is the LoveIntelligence of Reality, awakens in me, as me, and through me, when I realize that I am an Evolutionary Unique Self with gifts to give, a life to live, a poem to write, a song to sing that no one that ever was, is, or will be but myself can do.
The second face of God, God in the second person, is that infinite personal presence that knows my name.
When I realized that every place I fall I fall into God’s hands — the evolutionary God, the LoveIntelligence that knows my name and affirms the dignity of my personal need.
When we pray, we ask for everything.
We celebrate our finitude.
We’re going to offer a song before our prayer. The song is Hallelujah.
The song is the song by our great friend, Leonard Cohen, who sang about being able to be in life and realize that the complexity, the partial fulfillment, the cold floor, the disappointment, the heartache, and the joy, the beauty, the poignancy — it’s all dignified because prayer affirms the dignity of our personal lives.
The words, I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord. There’s a way in through music where I can hold — in the middle of the bafflement of life — hallelujah.
It goes like this.
The fourth, the fifth,
the minor falls, the major lifts,
the baffled King composing Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen does a verse about sexuality, and the complexity of sexuality, and the pain of Eros.
It says:
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof.
It’s the story about David and Bathsheba, in the Bible, in the Book of Kings.
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to a kitchen chair.
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair.
From your lips, she drew the Hallelujah.
In our meditation before our prayer, we find a place in our life, whether it was in love and relationship and intimacy and sexuality or in life in general, where somehow, we felt tied to the kitchen chair. The throne broke. The hair was cut.
And yet, from that place, we knew that although our hearts were broken, there’s nothing more whole than a broken heart and from our lips, she drew the Hallelujah.
Wow.
Feel the power of that.
Feel the power of this song.
Feel the power and the beauty.
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
but if I did, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Friends, we are all holy Hallelujahs, and we are all broken Hallelujahs.
In the great mystery tradition, they say that in the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem where Solomon reigned (in the Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark is that Ark of the Covenant), the Mary Magdalene tradition comes from the tradition of the two cherubs in love above the ark and the voice of God speaks from between the two cherubs.
In that tradition, the tablets that Moses, in the great biblical myth, is supposed to have received on Sinai — the first set of tablets were broken. Then, there was a second set of tablets that were whole. The mystical tradition teaches us that the tablets and the broken tablets together are in the Ark of the Covenant.
We’re seeking our holy and our broken hallelujahs
because all pain, all rage, comes from not being able to live in the broken hallelujah.
- All politics of rage comes from not being able to build and live from the broken hallelujah.
A politics of love is the response to a politics of rage.
A politics of love has fierce grace. It has anger at injustice, and it has the prophetic call to heal and transform reality — — but it doesn’t have rage out of control. It doesn’t have bitterness. It doesn’t have cynicism, so when we move from a politics of rage to a politics of love, we do it through a politics of empathy.
Empathy is the ability to know that all of us — you and me, all of us — live lives of partial fulfillment. No one’s fulfilled all the way, but can I find the Outrageous Love, the joy, in partial fulfillment? Can I turn my loneliness into loving? It’s from that place, my friends, that we pray.
- We pray to the personal God that knows our name.
- We pray to the personal God that is the evolutionary God.
- We pray to the personal God that holds us every time we fall, and that is the LoveIntelligence, the evolutionary impulse pulsing in us, and in all of reality.
Our prayer always is for everything. Prayer affirms the dignity of personal need, so when we pray, we ask for everything.
We pray for our health.
We pray for our strength.
We pray for our children, for our friends.
We pray for all of reality.
We pray for evolution.
We pray for the evolutionary impulse.
We invite everyone to offer your prayers, to type your prayers, so we can actually speak them into the noosphere, and let your prayer be a prayer for every person who’s forgotten how to pray, for every person who thinks that prayer is just a fundamentalist idea to the obedient God who’s ethnocentric and homophobic. No, that’s not what prayer is.
Prayer is a movement, a turn towards the personal impulse of all of reality that knows our name and holds us in every moment.
At this moment, the gates are open. The gates are open because we’re here together.
I pray for all those who have forgotten how to pray, and for the part of me that may have forgotten how to pray, and for the part of me that doesn’t remember that I’m always held in the arms of love — and that’s not a fundamentalist idea. That’s not a regressive idea. That’s an evolutionary idea. That is the personal face of the evolutionary impulse, awake and alive. Yeah. Amen. Amen, amen.
We pray for our children to hear their parents who are awake. We pray that their hearts will open, and welcome their parents into their life.
- I pray for healing for my son in our relationship.
- I pray for my son Daniel that he finds happiness in his life.
I pray for the common ground to emerge in the United States of America. - I pray that the operation of my brother Fabio will be successful without complications. May he be well.
- I pray for Simona that she’ll be healthy and well.
- I pray for Philippe and the flow of prosperity and goodness in his life in every possible way.
- I pray for Barbara’s move to Sunrise Ranch, may it go sweetly and gorgeously.
- I pray for Lisa as she moves between Sebastopol and Oakland and holds so many people in her embrace.
- I pray for my sons and grandchildren and daughter-in-law.
- I pray for ever greater love and understanding for all the people on the planet.
Let’s keep the prayers rolling, my friends. We keep the prayers rolling because this is a moment when the source code is open, when the gates are open. We turn to beloved Barbara. Barbara, we ask you to set for us the intention, love. What’s the Dharma this morning? Our theme this morning is a politics of evolutionary love. Barbara, take us in, love.
Joining Genius for Your Deepest Heart’s Desire
Barbara Marx Hubbard
Thank you, Marc. I’m thinking as you pray a phrase from Jesus that I’ve always loved. It’s quite astonishing if you recognize it. Here it is.
Ask and it is given.
It doesn’t say ask and it will be given. Ask, and it is given.
This makes me realize — in prayer — that when you ask in the full recognition of it being so, and get the feeling inside you of the truth of it being so, that what makes it so is exactly that — because the so-ness of the ask of the prayer is you, one with the Divine, knowing it is so.
You are not really praying to an external being who then responds as much as you’re activating the inner impulse of yourself that is the divine process of creation as you.
Ask, and it is given.
Now. I’ve been dreaming of how Evolutionary Church contributes to the politics of evolutionary love. I don’t think that question has ever been asked because there hasn’t been an Evolutionary Church until now.
We do it by creating a field of consciousness that awakens in each person — in each one of us right now, the impulse of evolution right in you, now just feeling the impulse — the Divine Love creating, expressing your unique genius and your special gift of love by joining genius with others.
So, in this moment, in this field of resonance, getting in touch with that unique impulse of love in you, uniquely yours, that which you can do that almost nobody else on earth can do — your special gift, in this moment, now, within this church, is being guided by the mysterious force of evolution itself, to assist you in joining genius with those you most need to give your gift to, so that when you give it you become more of who you are — and so does the other.
The Church of Evolutionary Love and the Church of Evolutionary Politics of Love is right there because giving our gift of love to one another is what activates it in ourselves. It’s self-rewarding, and it serves the world in the same act.
Ask, and it is given.
Through this joining in the field of the living Church of the Evolutionary Church, each of us is being born as what we like to call a new human, an evolutionary human, a Unique Evolutionary Self — in what Marc has called a we-space, WE-space of living creativity, each of us being born as a new human.
What do we mean by a new human?
What’s new about you or me?
Well, the world is new. Every second, every instant, it is emergent, so the new you is emerging, and with evolutionary eyes, you can feel and see and know that exact place where you are emerging.
In a we-space where what’s emerging in you is finding its connection with what’s emerging in others, you’re turning into the living love of life itself.
As we confess our greatness to another in this Evolutionary Church, we are even more deeply inspired to find our vocation of destiny.
What is your vocation of destiny?
It’s your unique gift to the shift —
- from fear to love,
- from separation to convergence,
- from winning over to joining with,
— so that each person, starting with yourself, can achieve more of what each of us really wants.
Just imagine now creating more of what you most deeply want, need, yearn for, by joining genius with another, or others, who love your gift as much as you love theirs.
This is evolutionary love.
When you join genius with another, loving their gift as much as — or even more than — you love your own, what happens is that the two geniuses join and create newness, like genes, like sperm and egg.
Look at that, wow, creating a new miraculous person, an evolving person joining genius. To give our gift through joining genius is our heart’s desire, in love with one another.
When we are in love with one another, joining genius, it creates more joy, more peace, more excitement within you, more awareness of God within you.
What is the God within you if it is not the impulse of creation, creating through you?
- God creating,
- creator creating,
- co-creators creating, joining in love.
This is the gift of the politics of evolutionary love.
We are cultivating, together, the next stage of personal and social evolution.
In the past, we have had spiritual evolution on one hand — and then you move out into social, or scientific, or technological evolution. In Evolutionary Church, we are joined at the deepest spiritual impulse of our own vocation of destiny being given through joining with others.
Evolutionary Church is opening the floodgates of the new society through you, so you become a new person when you say yes to the impulse of creativity.
- That yes, right now, is opening the floodgates of love, of genius, of your unique greatness.
- That yes fills you with the power to attract those you most need to give what you most yearn to give.
In Evolutionary Church, we are encouraging ourselves to give our gift of genius to each other — and to everyone who could possibly use it.
Imagine the outpouring of the gifts of love of the unique creativity of all members of an Evolutionary Church
- feeling the impulse of the divine in that giving,
- joining to evolve society through health, education, economic, science and technology, governments, environments as organs of your social body.
That is a politics of evolutionary love.
We are going to go the whole way in this lifetime, to become whole beings to the next stage of human evolution.
Rather than joining our genes to have the miraculous child in Evolutionary Church, we join genius to give our gifts more fully into the world.
Marc, I turn my Dharma to yours.
Politics of Evolutionary Love
Dr Marc Gafni
Holy, wholemate. Thank you so much. What a beautiful, beautiful taking us in. Feel, friends, this politics of evolutionary love. Barbara, hallelujah, hallelujah.
That is what we need at this moment of time: politics of evolutionary love.
Every week, we set out a principle, a law of evolutionary love, and Barbara and I made a commitment. We talked this week about offering to President Trump, through mutual friends, a gift on the day of his inauguration on January 20th, and the gift will be a manifesto with the principles of a politics of evolutionary love, so that is what we are doing in this church.
We are engaged in social, political activism.
We are forming together a new vision of evolutionary love and a politics of evolutionary love in which every irreducible Unique Self — not just your Myers-Briggs test, but your irreducible Unique self, your unique expression of the LoveIntelligence and love beauty —
- that is the animating Eros and energy of all that is that lives in you, as you, and through you,
- that can be given only by you and you alone,
responds to a quarter of the world that is unloved, capital U-N, UNloved, unless you stand on the abyss of that particular dimension of darkness and say, Let there be light.
People say, “Why is he getting so excited about this?” Because, friends, we live in a world of outrageous pain and the only response to outrageous pain is Outrageous Love.
Outrageous love means the unique expression of the LoveIntelligence that speaks through the unique configuration of light, which is your signature. Barbara, as you and I have talked so much this week, love, we now know that every human being
- has a unique atomic signature
- and a unique cellular signature,
- and a unique voice signature,
- and a unique light signature.
That’s the new realization that we’ve always known but we now have codified in the new texts of sacred science.
We know that
- if Barbara doesn’t say let there be light, there’s going to be a darkness in the world that will never be lifted without Barbara saying, let there be light.
- If Simona in Italy doesn’t say let there be light at the abyss of the particular unique need in her unique circle of intimacy and influence, then there will be darkness because Simona has been asleep. She’s been a separate self. She hasn’t awakened as an evolutionary unique self.
- If Deborah doesn’t say let there be light…
- If Anna doesn’t say let there be light …
- If Gerd doesn’t say let there be light …
- if Susan doesn’t say let there be light …
- If Cheron…
- if Andras…
- If Lisa…
— and all the way down, and like, Wow!
I also want to just offer apologies because we need all the light in the world, and I know we’ve invited so many of you here with our emails that I cannot say every name…
Let the light in me ignite the light in you.
We all live partially fulfilled lives, but what do we do? We usually focus on the missing tile. There’s a thousand tiles above us, and we look, we look, we look, and our eye catches the missing tile. We got caught in the missing tile syndrome. The only thing we can see is the missing tile.
That’s all we can see, instead of:
— transforming that bitterness,
— that rage,
— that hurt
— into the joy of the celebration of every moment of finitude,
— the celebration of the infinite dignity of my personal life,
— the celebration of my story,
— which allows me to celebrate your story,
— which shatters jealousy
— because I realized that all of Reality intended my uniqueness,
and I’m living my story.
I get an Oscar for being the best possible Marc. If I try to be Barbara, or I try to be David, or I try to be Sam or Ken, I fail. I am the very best version of Marc-ness that’s possible.
That’s the invitation to my life, and from that place, I give my gifts, and I realize, oh my God, Barbara’s gifts are needed by all that is because to be a unique self is the intention of Evolutionary Church.
To be a Unique Self is to know that God intended you.
Not the God you don’t believe in, but the God that is the intention of all of Reality.
God intended Barbara-ness.
God intended Bonnie-ness.
God said billions of years ago, “Let me arrange the synchronicities of Reality so that Bonnie will incarnate in Park City at that particular moment of her life and give the unique gift that can be given only by Bonnie-ness, by knowing that ever was, is, or will be again.”
Reality intended me.
Reality adores me.
The universe feels love.
Love’s not hard to find.
Love’s impossible to avoid.
That’s not ordinary love.
That’s outrageous.
It’s evolutionary love.
It’s the love that moves the sun and other stars. It’s the love that is not mere human sentiment, but the heart of existence itself. It’s the love that drives Barbara to create a Global Communion of Pioneering Souls, that drives Marc and Barbara and Lisa and so many of us to create Evolutionary Church. It’s the love that drives each one of us to give our unique gift in our unique circle of intimacy and influence that can be given by us, and by us alone.
Let’s just find each other in the utter delight of evolutionary love.
Here’s the first chant. We’re going to do two chants together. We’re singing from the inside of the inside. Here’s the first chant we did the first week in Evolutionary Church. I’m chanting it to you, and you can chant it to your partner, to your friend, to yourself, to anyone you’re inviting in to be part of your evolutionary family.
Pick someone. Get the words. Our holy and our broken hallelujah because we wake up as the powerful expression of the evolutionary impulse not by bypassing outrageous pain, but by staring into outrageous pain with the knowing of our outrageous beauty, with the knowing that we are unique expressions of evolutionary love.
I want to sing this to you, Carol.
I want to sing this to you, Linda.
I want to sing this to you, Lisa.
I want to sing this to you, Tom.
I want to sing this to you, Alif.
I want to sing this to you, Mark.
(Marc singing)
You can write in the message box any message of love you want to write or any message of inspiration. (singing) Then, Barbara’s up. (singing) that our love, all of us together here in Evolutionary Church and everyone who’s here and everyone who’s not here, and everyone you haven’t talked to in 10 years, and it’s time to pick up the phone, it’s a part of us that we’ve cut off from, and anyone I’m living with every day but I’ve forgotten to really tell them how much I love them, and the teller at the bank because love’s not just romantic, sexual.
Love is I see you. Love’s not just an emotion. Love’s a perception to be a lover, to see with God’s eyes. (singing)
Once we embrace the holy and the broken hallelujah, we then need to go to the next step, and we need to confess our greatness, not to confess our weakness.
We know about our broken hallelujah. We’ve embraced that, but now, we need to realize the essence of who you are is revealed in your moment of greatness.
Barbara:
Marc, as you are stating our prayers, I am reminded of the deep form of communion of pioneering souls that I was given, and I’d like to do it now. Here is the new form of Holy Communion that we do with each other. Just imagine this now. I am taking your hands in mine and you, in your own mind, can be taking the hands of the one you most would like to do communion with. I’ll do it with you, Marc, in my mind.
Marc:
Amen.
Barbara:
Each person can do it with whomever you would most want to do it with. Here’s the way we do it. We, in holding each other’s hands, we’d look into each other’s eyes and we state this phrase. By the authority vested in me by the great creating process, I see you.
I’m seeing you with the eyes of the great creating process, looking into your eyes, Marc. Then I ask:
Are you willing to speak to me as your own voice of the great creating process as you, so I can hear you speak it?
Marc:
Yes, beloved.
Barbara:
Would you speak to me of that great creating process, coming through, as you, so we can do communion together as an example of all of us within the church?
Marc:
Yes, Barbara, and I look forward next week to hearing everyone’s voice, and I speak at this moment as the evolutionary impulse.
- I stand fearless in the face of fear.
- I stand fully certain in my power to change and transform in the face of uncertainty.
- I stand fully whole with my broken heart.
- I commit to playing a larger game.
- I commit to keep opening my heart.
- I commit to participate in the evolution of love.
Barbara:
Marc, thank you, beloved. Now, holding our hands after I’ve heard you speak, you ask me the same. Barbara, are you willing to speak in the voice of the great creating process within you, your highest expression of love?
Marc:
Barbara, are you willing to speak as the voice of the great evolutionary impulse of love speaking in you as you, and through you, so that we may receive and witness that voice in you as love?
Barbara:
I am willing.
In the communion space, in the holy space of Evolutionary Church, protected, cared for and loved, I dare to say that my greatest impulse of expression and purpose is to participate in the planetary awakening in love through a unique self-symphony.
I feel I’ve been given a voice of invitation for planetary awakening in love. I dare to say in this holy communion, in the Holy Church, this is my highest intention. And in this church, as we do communion with each other, and each of us dares to speak the greatness that is uniquely our own, that word becomes flesh, that willingness to speak is imprinted in the noosphere or the thinking layer of Earth.
Thinking, imagining, Marc, just the two of us, and now every single person who’s listening in and who will become part of Evolutionary Church confessing their greatness into the noosphere, the nervous system of the planet. Marc, what will that do?
Marc:
Oh my God, right? Barbara, we’ve seen just so powerfully how when the social layer, how it comes alive through tweeting, through Facebook, through social media, something happens, but it doesn’t necessarily happen positively. Wael Ghonin, who did the first Facebook post of a man who was killed by the Egyptian security force in Egypt years back, which actually launched through Facebook the great Arab Spring, the great uprising wrote, “When I started, I thought that all we needed for the liberation of society was the internet.”
Then, what happened is the fundamentalist horses came and essentially hijacked the internet, and the Arab Spring that the liberal community in America got so excited about essentially dissipated and got completely hijacked into more repression. He wrote two years later, Wael Ghonin, “Now, I realize that for the liberation of society, we need the liberation of the internet itself.”
That, Barbara, is as we’re saying together so beautifully, is what we’re calling for.
We’re calling for:
- can we invest the internet, the world of tweeting, the world of online platforms with a joy, a respect, a dignity, a digital intimacy, a digital intimacy in which we honor each other, in which Internet becomes a source of joy and communion, and we actually invest these sacred tools with a deep profound evolutionary commitment and the unique self-symphony of pioneering souls playing on the internet that actually changes and shifts it all?
Barbara:
Marc, this is really the communion… to know that when I speak my highest, and you speak your highest, and we’re holding hands almost as the great creating process holding hands with one another, it’s a very intimate, wonderful form of communion.
Marc:
Amen.
Barbara:
What I know to be true in my inner heart is that the noosphere, which we’re on right now, the thinking layer of Earth as Teilhard de Chardin called it, is through each one of us speaking our word in communion at this level of intensity and joining of love is affecting the thinking layer. It is not only going just one on one who’s speaking because the nervous system of the planetary body is alive with the voices of the members of the planetary body.
Marc:
Amen.
Barbara:
I want us, Marc, you and me and everybody, we’re going to add our divine voices of love into the noosphere — consciously.
One of the great purposes of Evolutionary Church is to invite as many human beings as possible to place their gift of love into that pantheon, the nervous system of the planet, and right at the heart of the Evolutionary Church is the access to the media of the world because it’s global now. Every word we’re saying is global, as well as local.
Marc, we want to affirm here in the confessions of greatness through the great communions of pioneering souls joining genius, through the authority of life itself, to speak our voices into the Unique Self Symphony. When we can do it live and loud, we’re going to actually do it. Turning to you, is how we are going to do it now!
Marc:
We’re going to do it right now, by you and I confessing our greatness, and speaking for every single person. There are hundreds of people in church right now, and there’ll be thousands more listening, so let’s all speak it. We have the tech of our hearts.
I, in this moment, confess my delight and commitment to make the world better and to give my unique gift into the noosphere, which is convening together with my beloved wholemate, Barbara, convening together with all of our friends, all of the leaders around the world who are participating, a planetary awakening in love through unique self-symphony in which the politics of evolutionary love becomes a politics of empathy, a politics of evolutionary intimacy.
Barbara:
Could I make a wonderful little funny comment here, beloved? I realized that the new party is an evolutionary party.
Marc:
Oh my God.
Barbara:
The new politics of evolutionary love is giving an evolutionary party to those who seek to express their creativity by joining genius with others to create the evolutionary party to celebrate evolving humans joining to give our gift to the evolution of ourselves and our world.
In this auspicious moment of doing our communion of pioneering souls joining our genius, I am recognizing that we are an evolutionary party giving in love.
Marc:
We are an evolutionary party.
Oh, my God. Yes, yes. Barbara, Evolutionary party, yes. Yes. The evolutionary party replaces the tea party. Amen. Amen, amen, amen.
Everyone can confess their greatness. Just write in the chatbox, “I confess the greatness of my music, the greatness of my heart, the greatness of the gift I want to give,” whatever it is.
What an utter and complete and total delight it is to be alive in this moment. Yeah. (singing)
We just got one minute of a chant, and Barbara, you’re going to give us the closing word. Beloved Barbara, we have a closing blessing for sacred church in our fourth week. What a delight to be in a sacred church with you and with everyone. Friends, we’re just, just getting started. We’re learning together as we go. We’re learning, learning, learning, learning, but the most important thing is we’re laying down the tracks of what an Evolutionary Church might be and in that, a new institution into reality that we’re going to create together, which is the evolution of love. Barbara, take us home, love.
Barbara:
I’m blessing the noosphere, getting its collective eyes and ears to the words of the evolving humanity in love.
I’m blessing each human being expressing that love through giving their unique gift into the field, one on one, two on two, and eventually, all on all through the noosphere getting its collective eyes through us.
Thank you, God.
Marc:
Thank you, God. Thank you, Goddess. Thank you, everyone. Thank you.
Barbara:
Have a great week, everyone.
