It has been said by many that we cannot save the planet unless there's a widespread spiritual or religious awakening. When I've heard that in the past I have sort of buckled and stiffened-not because I didn't think it'd be a good idea, but because I thought, well, yeah, but we have work to do. Things are going so fast that we can't depend on such a thing arising. But in my research for the book, I have come to think about this in a different way. My question for you is this: Would we recognize a spiritual awakening in this world if we saw one? Let me put the question to another way: What if an awakening was already deeply in place and we don't see it? In other words, it's here.
