"Corruption comes in many forms, including corruption of the conscience, of the mind, and of the will. It's the last of these that is the most devastating.
"Most corruption is not placed into the world by what people do, but by what they do not do. To do nothing is to do everything. Saying nothing is saying yes.
"No, it turns out, has to be spoken.
"Because it's difficult for people in prominent positions to say no to humanity's present ideas about God and about Life, new leadership will have to be found if new ideas are to reach a larger number of people for their consideration and exploration.
"The first qualification for becoming one of these new leaders is will power. Humanity must regain its collective will, and new leaders must show it the way by leading the way.
"Because of that indifference, our world is being taken from us. The life of which we have dreamed is slowly turning into the nightmare of which we have despaired, and it will continue to do so if we do not now wake up.
"We have seen the sun set on the hopes of many. Yet, as Ernest Hemmingway so eloquently said, the sun also rises. Let us not now sleep through the dawn. This is the time of the awakening of humanity.
"Shall we arise, one by one, and gently wake each other?"
