Wisdom Bearers
The Clarion Way represents 45 years of many small steps, monumental turning points, corrections, and triumphs. All along the way there were helpers and wisdom beings to inform and nurture our steady unfoldment. In hindsight, all the gifts that culminated in our organization's life were given as if beautifully orchestrated, yet each step emerged with only the slightest glimmer of what was ahead.
The Clarion Way is the collective term for the Institute's teachings. These teachings awaken our inner knowing and guide us in applying that knowing in the world through action.
There are many helpers and wisdom beings who became known to us and another vast number who are nameless. All have been honored and held in appreciation. Here, we have created a space to represent four Wisdom Bearers who have most directly influenced The Soul and Service Trilogy and To Show Another Way.
These Wisdom Bearers are:
H. H. the Dalai Lama Michelangelo Meara Clare
We extend our enduring appreciation to our Wisdom Bearers. May the effects of our teachings continue in the stream of the wisdom blessings
that flow from them.
