awakening and maturing into a new state of ceaseless caring love, as if all life itself had grabbed you into endless, exhausting, illuminating, fulfilling servitude.  Other than the moment of your own birth and your own death, there is no such [[power|powerful]] moment as the arrival of your newborns.  If you were life herself from all [[eternity]], that moment of birth and parental maturation would be your principal purpose.

So when [[humanity]] as a whole being comes to that moment of awareness that all life on Earth is suddenly newborn, humans so quickly mature into ceaselessly compassionate parents of all life on Earth as to cause of themselves a change so monumental as to begin again a new calendar of creation.

Such a moment was the birth of the new millennium.  Such a moment is the era of planetary renaissance now born of human transcendence.  The inevitability of human maturation is as certain as that the mighty oak springs from the tiny acorn.  The holy cosmos would have it no other wise, no other way.

Over the years, I have taken some deep satisfaction that the phrase “life,  

liberty and the pursuit of happiness” has been understood worldwide as a definition of the great American experiment in self-government and as a call to the people of the world to free themselves wherever they are as a first step toward their own [[person]]al fulfillment.   

liberty and the pursuit of happiness” has been understood worldwide as a definition of the great American experiment in self-government and as a call to the people of the world to free themselves wherever they are as a first step toward their own [[personal]] fulfillment.   

So it is disappointing to me, nay, horrifying, that Americans today are more embroiled in the purveying of death than the glorification of life; more enslaved to war and oil and money than liberating themselves and the world’s people to seek out their own soul’s potential; more ensnared in fear of terrorism and fear of their own American government’s enactment of torture and secret imprisonment; more worried about the potential outcome for their own citizens’ brave and outspoken leadership than inspired and engaged in the pursuit of happiness.

That apparent regression and destruction signals a mortal wounding of the American soul.  I write to the world’s people by writing to you Americans to remind you all that human well-being out into the distant future is now dependent on your mutual and all-encompassing embrace of all life on earth, all liberty on earth and all happiness on earth.

That I suffered mightily through merciless editing of my original draft of the [[Declaration of Independence]] was no pain at all compared to my present pain at the prospect of losing our noble experiment in self-governance and the liberty of [[human]] fulfillment to the forces of self-serving, material acquisition and self- denigrating timidity of spirit running rampant today.
