Discover Fire

The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness the energies of love.  And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire.  ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Modern society has a fascination with identifying, studying and controlling the forces of nature.  It is a common misbelief that if we can understand and harness these forces that we become godlike.  Many believe that this will enable us to control our destinies and the world around us.  The true path to enlightenment does not involve exerting our will on external forces.  We need to look within ourselves.  To share our lives, love and laughter with others.  The faster and more meaningful approach to changing the world is to teach this to others and encourage their involvement.  Discover that fire within yourself.
