- In what way can spirituality help shift
social institutions and systems towards
greater harmony and peace?
Speaking about the Forum, Bob Boisture
explained, “Everything we do creates the global
culture ... the most important thing that global
leaders have to do is go deep inside ... to allow
us to engage each other from an awesome place
of wholeness and love.”The Forum also focused strongly on
environmental issues and what is needed to
stop the destruction of our natural environment.
Sister Jayanthi spoke about the need for
spiritual values, moderation and a change of
consciousness. She emphasised that “Sacred
values have been forgotten and consumer
values have taken over ... a bit of renunciation
is important.”Director of the SoH Forum, Johanna
Vilhjalmsdottir, summed up their purpose and
importance in today’s world: “This is a platform
for leaders all over the world to explore core
human values and governance, and how
personal transformation can lead to global
transformation. What is the world mirroring?
It’s mirroring our consciousness. So where do
we need to start? We need to start with our
consciousness."The event certainly provided a joyful and
productive space for many groups and
organizations sharing similar values. There was
a collaborative and harmonious atmosphere,
and the Forum has much to offer the world in
setting an example of problem-solving from a
spiritual perspective.Interviews and talks from the event will be
available in forthcoming editions of
Heartfulness Magazine.
