""To become fully mature as human persons, we must bring to life within ourselves the dynamics that fashioned the cosmos. We must become these cosmic dynamics and primordial powers in a new human form. That is our task: to create the human form of the central powers of the cosmos.... The powers that build the universe are ultimately mysterious, issuing forth from and operating out of mystery. They are the most awesome and numinous reality in the universe. Humans are these dynamics brought into self-awareness.'"
"The maturing human's sense of self transcends all cultural, political, and religious divisions, bringing the human a unifying vision at a time when cooperation amongst many diverse peoples is essential for the healing of the planet. Cosmic consciousness allows the universe to participate in this healing process by channeling its immense forces into and through human beings. The ancient yogis had a strong sense of cosmic presence and its importance for the human community."
Human maturation involves integrating human identity with dynamic primordial powers that fashioned the cosmos, making those cosmic dynamics conscious within human form. A maturing human transcends cultural, political, and religious divisions and acquires a unifying vision necessary for cooperation among diverse peoples to heal the planet. Cosmic consciousness enables the universe to channel immense forces into and through human beings to support planetary healing. Ancient yogis cultivated a felt sense of cosmic presence; modern Western science and organized religions have largely lost perception of the universe's sacred power and wisdom. Yogic asanas and practices can evoke cosmic presence and accelerate this maturation.
