From Ervin: 

We are dancing on the planet, but we are not dancing well. We are dancing on the planet, but not with the planet. We treat the planet as a passive backdrop to our dance, a supplier of the air, water, land, and other resources we claim as our possession. We are not treating it as a partner in our evolution.  


We thought we could dance above and beyond the domains of life on Earth. This was a mistake, and we are now paying for it. It is time to realize that we can only dance safely and enduringly in partnership with our planet. We must urgently correct our steps and return to the dance our forebears often danced, but we have nearly forgotten. 
 

Dancing with the planet is a dance to which we can return. We have the skills and the knowledge, the technologies and the information. Now we must come up with the will and the commitment. The way for us to achieve coherence is to adapt and cooperate. It is to live in peace and in readiness to join together in coherent ecological and social systems. Coherence creates an environment capable of sustaining all people on the planet in peace and prosperity.  
 

We are cosmic beings endowed with articulate consciousness. We can apprehend our mission, and we can respond to it. We can and now must awaken to the urgent need to adopt the universe’s drive toward integral wholeness as our felt and acknowledged sacred mission.
