We are all engaged in a great open and co-creative spiritual adventure and partnership with Ultimate Reality however you define it. It is the ultimate adventure in that it is intimately concerned with the quality of your life in this very moment. It is equally concerned with improving your community, the world and the quality of your existence beyond your physical form.

You are the final authority who decides upon its wisdom, value and usefulness.
