Bill Isaacs: In this moment we have a remarkable vessel for letting the light shine. There have been countless cycles of history stretching back as far as human beings can see that have been setting the conditions for the emergence of an experience that allows the light to shine. Our ability here—to the extent that we actually exercise it—did not just arise unaided. It is the fruit of a very particular thread of history stretching back centuries. This thread, woven by life, has sought to bring conscious awareness again into the field of human experience. You might think, observing this now, that it does not seem like much. But that would be too limited a view. There have been relatively few containers for the emergence of conscious Being. When they do arise, they carry immense power and far-ranging impact. Coming to see the significance of this radiant stance, and more, to actively participate in it, is one of the great tasks of this age.
