'Immersion in spirit allows us to experience the wholeness with which all is inextricably connected. No part of that wholeness just exists. It exists because of an intention that it be manifested in our universe. So we also have to pay attention to underlying values, goals, and dreams...

Our true goals in life have more to do with love and being loved, and with having meaning in our lives than with how much money we make. Healing diseases of the spirit requires open hearts; honoring the elements and forces of nature, the rhythms and cycles of life, the users of a place, and all of life ­ in our buildings, in what dreams we allow to manifest through our investment, in the economic institutions we create.'
