Hi Kevin,

I'm with you. In another thread we're discussing what a moral revolution that
succeeded (not a hippie revolution) would be like. I think you question fits
right in to that discussion, for no revolution can occur without a change
in "the people." I've heard of people transformed by near death experiences.
Some Christians claim transformation they call being born again. I personally
had a Quality transformation while standing in awe in front of the statue of
David in Florence, Italy. For me, great art leads the way. But yes, by all 
means, let's explore how people can become aware of the power of Quality.
