by Michael Brine
 The past lies laid out before us to this moment in time to reflect on with all its horrors and tragedies. In our blindness we have sadly contributed to it, in most cases out of ignorance, in which we have blindly followed the cultural conditioning we have been raised in, as were our parents and their parents back - back into the mists of darker times...
Editor's Note from David Arenson: "Humanity has moved into a critical time period. Before us stand two Portals. We have a choice. One is to repeat the mind-set of the past several thousand years, and thus keep digging an ever-deepening grave – OR - to embark on a new and exciting adventure into as yet, largely unchartered waters. The choice is ours – as a species - as individuals."

Editor's Note from Sandra Miniere: Oprah Winfrey shares how she worked the process of surrender while she was in high stress and waiting to hear about a movie role in The Color Purple. When she realized that she had done all she could do, she turned it over to a Higher Power. She reached an inner state of empowerment, peace and flow. Her description of the letting go process is moving and inspirational. It reminds us about the extraordinary power of surrender, one outcome at a time. Enjoy!
