In Search of the Inevitable

Transformation, both individual and collective, has its own direction and momentum: it evolves purposefully, if erratically in fits and starts, toward its own inevitable fruition. This transfiguration proceeds on the level of social and psychological change as much as on the level of soul. To be clear at the outset: by inevitable fruition is not meant an ultimate end but, rather, the necessary culmination of the larval stage before metamorphosis produces the imago-the point at which the transformed entity, individual or collective, actually begins to fulfill its destined role in Creation.
