“This is the Time, We are the Ones - a Call to Consciousness”
DVD
As the Age of Information gives birth to an Age of Transformation, each of
us is a midwife in the process. We are involved in an epic shift of
consciousness, propelled by an evolution that we are participating in
daily, through our thoughts, our actions, and our manifold creations.
Transformation is not happening to us, but through us. We are the
agents of change.
