It's a good question Maria. Essentially summarised as... "if you knew the world would end tomorrow, would you still plant the apple tree today?"

I certainly believe it's right to make the transition as smooth as possible. And so yes, to me, and in my life, that does mean working to make conditions better where possible. But the crucial thing is to do it not because you want a particular outcome, but because it feels simply right in your soul. Then not to attach when things inevitably unravel.

To give an example, I spent the best part of 12 years developing a retreat centre in Glastonbury with a small team. It was run on the basis of highest consciousness and respect for Gaia - recycling where we could, being as resourceful as possible. We only named it right at the end. When I screwed in the last screw of the wooden sign we had made, Avalon Rising, then I instantly knew the venture was complete and ready to be released. Sure enough, it unraveled in the following weeks and months. Yet masses had been learned and integrated from it.

I trust this makes sense.
