We
are at the very point in time when a 400-year old age is dying and another is
struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society, and institutions
enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility
of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the
world has never know, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the
divine intelligence such as the world has never dreamed.
-- Dee Ward Hock,
founder of Visa.
 | Once
again a new world view is arising ... This idea is the culmination of all human
history. It holds the promise of fulfilling the great aspirations of the past
and heralds the advent of the next phase of our evolution. It is the idea of conscious
evolution."
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard |
We
are moving from unconscious evolution through natural selection to conscious evolution
by choice.

The
social potential movement is on the threshold of a mass awakening, seeking to
carry into society what individuals have learned spiritually and personally.
-- Barbara Marx Hubbard
In the past
our glorious visions of the future - heaven, paradise, nirvana - were thought
to happen after death. The newer thought is that we do not have to die to get
there. We are not speaking here of life after death in some mythical heaven, but
life more abundant in real time in history. We are speaking of the next stage
of our social evolution.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
When
a culture has a story everyone understands, it gives direction and meaning to
that culture. When people no longer believe the story, the culture disintegrates.
Earl Hubbard &
Barbara Marx Hubbard
Common sense
dictates that we evaluate our beliefs on the basis of how they affect us. If they
make us more loving, creative, and wise, they are good beliefs. If they make us
cruel, jealous, depressed and sick, they cannot be good beliefs.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
There
has always been a longing in the human heart for a more just, free, loving and
creative society. But it was never before possible to fulfill these aspirations,
because we had neither the evolutionary drivers and global crises to force us
to change, nor did we have the scientific and technological powers that can free
us from the limitations of scarcity, poverty, disease, and ignorance. This is
the time of awakening for the social potential movement.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
We
hold these truths to be self-evident; All people are born creative; Endowed by
our Creator with the inalienable right and responsibility to express our creativity
for the sake of ourselves and our world.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
By
understanding evolution as the expression of universal intelligence, now becoming
conscious of itself within us, and as us, we overcome the dichotomy between current
evolutionists who see no design in evolution, and creationists who often propose
and anthropomorphic God as creator.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
Transformationally motivated people are the growing edge of a great continuity
of souls reaching back to the very earliest times.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
In human history there has been a continuous and growing impulse toward the regeneration
and transformation of humanity.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
Everything
you do counts forever. You are an expression of the whole process of creation;
you are a cocreator.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard
Whatever
we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve.

Marx Hubbard
When the dominant images of a culture are anticipatory, they "lead" social development
and provide direction for social change.
-- O.W. Markley paraphrasing Fred
Polak.
Self-actualizing
people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy, and affection for human
beings in general. They feel kinship and connection, as if all people were members
of a single family.
--Abraham Maslow
