"It is perhaps not surprising to see that the modern world this year's been experiencing drought. The dryness of the realm might be a reflection of the increasing drought in the psyche of the culture. And there won't be some kind of Moses or some kind of messiah, showing up from God-knows-where, to sprinkle the water of cleansing. It will have to arise from the ground. It will have to come from the very people who have heard the call from the other world and who want to do something about it. And so my sense is that we are it. The question is: what are we gonna do?"
