We are currently witnessing an impressive epoch in the history of mankind with especially broad opportunities. Times of change open up an immeasurable potentiality of creative resources and innovative changes of course. Individuals, as well as organizations and communities, face different challenges while having to redefine and realign themselves in the current process of change from the dependency of old structures to the interdependency of a global order.

Immense spiritual resources and hidden treasures of immeasurable value lie still dormant in the mines of the human essence. A significant reorientation of individual and collective goals is needed, which requires a profound change in attitudes and behaviour. However, no venture that faces this highly complex challenge can be successful if it ignores the intangible reality of man. Humans need to be understood in their various dimensions of social, mental and spiritual reality and not by assuming a distorted concept of human nature. True maturity and socialisation remain an unachievable goal unless we become aware that the well-being of the individual is dependent on the well-being of the whole and that both are inseparable.
