While creating this site, I went back to look at some old
books, and I found some interesting passages. I like these,
they are more 'human' than some of the more inspirational
writers:-
- We also provide a vision of perfection - we see each individual
as a potentially perfect human being, living in a joyous
state of being, within a beautiful uplifted world. (p.6,
editorial, Gordon Davidson)
- The last two thousand years have been a preparation for
the age in which we are moving and to a large extent we
have learned the lessons and disciplines of the lower nature.
The new images of initiation, in order to serve the evolutionary
process, need to stimulate the vision and courage necessary
to accept the fullness of the divine nature (p. 21, Francois
Duquesne)
- Our basic aspiration is nothing less than to build a heaven
on Earth so that we may demonstrate to a sceptical world
that it can be done (p. 29, Roger Doudna)
These quotes strike the keynotes of potential, evolution,
heaven on earth which typify the New Age. Other quotes could
have been chosen, but these are interesting for a number of
reasons. They are taken from Onearth 4, the twice yearly magazine
of the Findhorn Foundation, from Autumn 1977 (I might scan
and copy this onto the internet, if there is interest). The
authors are well known, but not 'world figures'.
26 years on, however, it is interesting to look back at this
.... (Feb. 2004)
- They are very certain of themselves - there are no doubts
- They are typical of what Findhorn thought of itself at
the time (and Findhorn is/was seen as the cornerstone of
the New Age)
- It is still touching and inspiring to read what they wrote
then
- Post 9/11 and Iraq war, we seem further away from these
ideals than before
- With hindsight, the time at which they wrote was the 'highpoint'
for Findhorn - the actions being taken then had led to massive
debts by 1981
My touched page will collect some
more key quotes, mapping will try
to look at 'the big picture', history
will question what happened, and the forum
welcomes input
