shift of consciousness

In my continuing attempt to suggest methods for personal transformation, I have put together some information on mantras and how they can be used in a meditative or spiritual practice. Mantras won't bring back the birds, the bees, or the bats that are being seriously threatened most likely by human activities. I don't know what will. I hope to God we can stop this Juggernaut of destruction. My take, though, is that if we develop ourselves spiritually as we attempt to discover solutions in the world around us, we will be better prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. After reading about the bats facing extinction, we will likely need to be making some serious adjustments. Perhaps through our development of compassion, creativity, and wisdom, we can find some solutions. It will likely take some massive changes, however, in our daily lives. Well, the changes are coming one way or another.
