But the establishment (or reconstruction and restoration) of real stability in every country requires more. It requires changes of consciousness on the part of individuals.

In all progressive events and changes there is hope, an awakening of the human conscience to more spiritual goals and qualities, such as harmony, love, health, wisdom, stability, and spiritual culture. There is advancement, new glimpses of the possibilities for perfection. But how should we move forward with this hope to help heal the numerous wrongs in the world—the hate and terror, the tenacity of addictions, the warlike conflicts, the economic problems, poverty and immortality?
