PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
There is a shared misconception that we seem to treasure:
that there is a Universal Intelligence, and there is us;
there is a Heaven and an Earth; a God and all the rest.
The sooner we release ourselves from this conviction of separation
the sooner both we and the Earth can heal.
                                                                       Tim Boyd zur Convention
