ABOUT THE SUMMIT
It is said
in the East that when greed and selfishness become strong and materialism
predominates, the Divine emerges in its feminine aspect and guides the
transformation of these negative energies. Now is a time of such
transformation. We find ourselves at a cross-road, seeing the weakening and
even collapse of economic and religious structures, and at the same time
witnessing the birth of something new, yet undefined. There is the sense that
new forms must emerge to reflect the awakening consciousness, that will
accommodate the unitive energies and help us move away from the divisions and
polarizations that have characterized human society over the last many
centuries.
We must move
from a theology of exclusion to one that sees the beauty in all paths and the
universal principles underlying all religion, focusing on commonality rather
than differences. We must move from an economy of greed to one of sharing, from
social structures that divide to ones that unite, to a worldview that sees the
sacredness and living energies in the natural forces so that we can again come
into harmony with the earth and her life systems. For these shifts to come into
play, we must begin to balance West and East, materialism and spirituality,
male and female, we must make way for the Divine Feminine to emerge.
Many people
around the globe are sensing that some transformation is underway but the
vision of what lies ahead has not yet become clear. We gather to begin to
articulate the values and principles that must guide this transformation, to
acknowledge the new energies emerging and the role that the Divine Feminine can
play.
