“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!  It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down over the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!  It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion!  For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore.” (Psalm 133) 
From “Come now, let us reason together….” The True Genius of the Jewish Mind

The rekindling of the human spirit is necessary not only for religious and spiritual development, but it is an essential requirement for the redirection of human intelligence in its work of finding new solutions to the critical problems of the age.

I believe that we have reached a critical threshold in the evolution and development of the human race, a point beyond which the motive of self-interest will not be able to take us without putting the future of the species at risk.
From Revamping the Paradigm

We are all children of one text or another.  But there comes a time when we must put aside the text or let it simply pass through our lives so that we can move forward on our own two feet, and thrust ourselves into that vast 'sea' of meaning, immerse ourselves in its infinite depths and richness, and emerge renewed, centred, and transformed.
From Going beyond the text 

Who will carry the message forward that our power relationships in society have not significantly changed as a result of the democratic revolutions and political reforms of the last two hundred and thirty years? The exercise of political power remains the prerogative of a select few and their surrogates.  The power and authority to make the required systemic changes still rests with a relatively small number of people whose own self-interests and the interests of those who support them militate against changes in the status quo.  Who will carry the message forward that the paths to those individuals in power and authority have to be cleared of any obstructions that are likely to prevent an objective consideration and assessment of the questions placed before them?
