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

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.

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
