We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.
~ Maria Montessori in TO EDUCATE THE HUMAN POTENTIAL
Consciousness individually and collectively shapes our material world. Our interior life constantly shapes our exterior life. This is why no matter how diverse our work in the external world, the "common work" of humanity —the only true way we can live our external lives — requires becoming conscious of the relationship between our inner and outer lives.
