There are many ways to act, from recognizing to acting out of responsibility or consciousness. For this to happen, one does not have to find a suitable place in an existing organization, or create an organization.

Somebody who does not set requirements to find prefabricated structures, can discover locally many possibilities. This can look in such a way, that one discovers on a journey an existing place, which needs oneself. Or also during a journey, if one opens oneself up to the living situation of the area there, lives with simple people, with them in their situation (not in guest accomodations), then one becomes inevitably conscious of their situation and finds new unknown tasks for that situation, in which one can change something much more and more genuinly, than in a place in an organization. Then for this, one must naturally give up ones own life for oneself, but one receives another life in return, which can't be possessed as ones own.

Do we live for ourselves, or for the development of the world? For creation? Only if we promote and embrace variety of the cultures, there can be peace. Within the next years we will brobably extinguish about 90% of our cultures, ways of thinking and values.

We need to act for positive change, why (for what) are we still waiting? Who does it if not we? Positive Change (Development) is the reason that life exists for, only if we become part of this change, our life makes sense, only then are we part of life, and then the force of life, which created everything, will become one with us.

The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for anyone's greed.

There is no path to peace, because peace is the path.

Mahatma Gandhi

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
