'Introduction - James O'Dea
Imagine, for a moment, that a being of divine perfection ware to suddenly manifest in this here and now reality. Visualize this being entering into the state of the world as it is with all its beauty and horror, with all iets promise and wasteful ruin. What would you expect of such an emissary of divinity? What kind of mes-
sage? What kind of miracles? How could such a one help us transform the world from the precipitous decline into greed and ecological disaster?
Would billions of people rush to be followers? Would this great spiritual Master be breaking headline news, hit all the talk shows, be the subject of bestsellers, be listened to by the power brokers, have all answers to our most pressing questions and fill people with peace and ecstasy? Just how would such a one address all our needs? (...).
Through "karma yoga" and emphasis on international action, Babaji wanted to set in motion a template for harmonizing human unity and peace. The entire human enterprise must move from competition to collabora-tion across cultures, ethnicities and religions. This is central work in birthing the new humanity ... and deman-ding work it is. (...).
As you will discover vin the pages ahead, Babaji frequently exhorted people with the word "Pour" - which he said meant, 'Be inspired', 'Have courage and be inspired'. Truly that is what is needed en these times of gathering strife and chaos: we need deep inspiration to do and to be what is urgently needed for a new life
on Earth. WE cannot do this work alone. We must become 'a new creation' together. Babaji's words and his brief life inns body provide us with great inspiration. This kind of embodied spiritual inspiration will be the very heart of the evolution-revolution that is presently unfolding.
"Phuro!'.
