"The search for self and the endeavor to illuminate one's values leads many of us to other people and resources--gurus, experts, academicians, our elders, books, workshops, support groups, and all the other "show me the way" guidance systems that our culture has created. The fact that we rely more upon each other and the social order than upon the ageless wisdom of the Earth and its natural order tells us how alienated we have become from our source. Ours is one of the first cultures to turn away en masse from the solace and sagacity of the Earth, and to overlook her as a counselor when we feel confused and troubled."                                                                                                                      -Philip Sutton Chard

"One of the most obvious pieces of evidence for the need for transformation is when the effects of your actions are the opposite of what you're intending. It just that it's really obvious that you need to change your life if all your efforts are not producing just something neutral but the opposite of what you want. And that is the state of our planet today. No one really wants all the species to be degraded. Nobody wants the ecosystems to go downhill. Nobody wants this and yet it's what is taking place. So this seventh power of transmutation is about the deep change required."                                                                                      -Brian Swimme
