"At present our response is drastically, almost comically, inadequate. On the one hand, much of the transpersonal world is largely clueless and narcissistic in relation to the severity of our predicament.
"Likewise, activists remain aloof from the mystery of the evolutionary birth, and through that, dissociated from the power they are going to need.
"We are challenging the transpersonal world to plunge into the shattering realities of the dark night, and evaluate all of the different spiritual traditions [with] a willingness to do so. We challenge spiritual practitioners to stop indulging in fake spiritual delusions and begin taking up the challenge of humanity's greatest mystics and prophets to put love into action.
"Conversely, we say the activist:
"We are with you and have always been with you. We honor the divine passion for justice that burns in your heart, but we are asking you now to understand that all of your tactics and strategies cannot be enough for this crisis, that it is not only a crisis of justice, but an evolutionary crisis.
"You must be brave enough to expand your vision and align with the Mystery whatever way you can, and whatever name you call it.'
"The only strategies that could work in unprecedented chaos will be given to us, if and as. we align ourselves with sacred reality.
"Accordingly, we as elders want to protect you as you advance with your honorable passion for a more compassionate world by pointing out that the force and passion and stamina and energy that you need to realize your longing for a new world can only revealed in you, to you by simple opening to spiritual possibility.
"We denounce any tendency by the transpersonal milieu to turn away from the severity of the crisis, just as we denounce the cynicism of the activist whose pragmatic perspective prevents him or her from adopting a sufficiently holistic stance in order the fully engage the struggle.
"In other words, we believe that only a divinely conscious activism, aligned with the truth of the evolutionary mystics, could ever hope to be able to begin to deal with the crisis."
