Turn Toward Life

A thought for the 21st century:
It is very difficult to feel fully and completely alive
if one understands oneself
to be part of a fundametally dead universe.
How, then, shall we turn toward life
and discover the unknown depths
of our own aliveness in the process?

"Marines investigated for murder of civilians in Iraq..."

we cannot, must not, be silent as the civilians of Iraq
and our own sons and daughters
are ground to pieces
by this terrible war
  
no bravery

  

 


our evolving vision...

Turn Toward Life is an interfaith community-without-walls for people who love the Earth, and who have come to understand, each through their own path, that the issues of peace,  social justice and ecology, on the one hand, and the processes of enlightenment, self-realization, salvation and personal fulfillment, on the other, are infinitely interwoven.  Turn Toward Life welcomes people of every religion (and of no particular religious affiliation) who are seeking to lead lives of active compassion, awareness, gratitude, forgiveness and creativity. 

Confronted by world continuously at war, a world of savage inequalities, and a world drifting toward ecological suicide, we seek to nurture in one another a deep reverence for life and encourage one another in a strongly compassionate resistance to the forces of greed and ignorance that are destroying the world.  Taking the advice of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are persuaded that only a resistance grounded in love and mutual support will last long enough and be creative enough to make a difference.
