The Highest Potential of the Human Being

Order, Balance, Harmony, Flow
In our study and practice of SourcePoint Therapy, when we first hear the statement “The Blueprint of Health for the human being contains the information of the highest potential of the human being,” our immediate response is most likely the question, “What is the highest potential of the human being?”
From the SourcePoint Therapy perspective the answer to that question is simple. The highest potential, the birthright we are given as human beings, is to live together in peace – grounded in the Order, Balance, Harmony and Flow of our fundamental nature. To dwell in community, sharing, and co-operation with other beings, with our environment, with spirit, To move into another dimension of consciousness, to move on from our collective focus on the energies of aggression, territoriality, and domination that have shaped our lives for too long, To outgrow war, oppression, racism, sexism, greed, anger and ignorance. To live in Health, from the ground of Health that is our birthright. To live from the ground of, the connection to, the creative ordering forces that shape our lives, give birth to us. The Order, Balance, Harmony, Flow that is our essential nature.
Living that simple answer is a day-to-day practice.
This is what we must understand now, that our hope for the future of the planet, including the human race, lies in each one of us, every single one already born or to be born in these next millennia. What does it mean for me, now, to live in a spirit of sharing, co-operation and community? How do I maintain my connection to this fundamental nature? How can I help others maintain their connection? How can I open my eyes and heart sufficiently to help others open theirs?
It turns out, perhaps, that living that reality, that connection to the fundamental rhythm of life through the practice of the breath, of awareness, and the protocols of SourcePoint Therapy or whatever portal of self-transformation you choose, that this is how we can help the planet. Physician, heal thyself. That phrase takes on new meaning in these times.
Every morning I repeat a vow: to live in alignment with the fundamental energies of Order, Balance, Harmony and Flow. Acknowledging the chaos, disorder, disharmony, and imbalance in the outer world inspires me to “change what can be changed” -and that’s …me, as I feel my way along the labyrinth this world has become.
Mythologically, the labyrinth was a challenge, a passageway to be experienced before reaching higher levels of understanding, of healing, of transformation. Every day these days we navigate a labyrinth that challenges us, confuses us, has an illusory “this can’t be real” nature, and yet there it is, twist and turn, blockage and opening, two steps forward, one step back, day after day. Demanding intense focus and attention to move forward, to not be deceived.
We are supported every step of the way on this journey through a troubled world.
Awareness, and our awareness of Awareness is the golden key we are given as human beings, to unlock the mystery of how we can bring about change in ourselves and others. Awareness of ourselves, our conditioned reactive patterns that consistently lead to conflict in ourselves and with others. Awareness of other options that are always available. Awareness that knows in any situation that arises we have the option of choice: the choice of how we respond to that situation.
Perhaps bringing a greater Order, Balance, Harmony and Flow to this world all comes down to the details of this daily life: how do I respond to circumstance, how do I react to greed, anger, ignorance and aggression in myself or others when I encounter those forces? How do I live my life peacefully? How can I possibly demand that others live in peace, when I do not? Perhaps a big step in coming from a space of sharing, co-operation and community is simply, under certain circumstances, in certain relationships, taking a deep breath and seeing someone I know through a new lens, and reacting differently to them.
That’s not enough, could be said. That’s not enough to save this planet. Maybe not today, or tomorrow. Maybe not in my lifetime, or yours, or even in my grandchildren’s. Maybe the earth won’t survive, maybe the human being won’t survive. Those possibilities call us even more intensely to commit ourselves to change in our lives, now, to align ourselves, to practice, to communicate, to share, to co-operate. To love.
To participate in what can be called the creation of a conscious self, to become more aware, more capable of making the choice to shift our consciousness from its old dysfunctional patterns focused on what I want, what I need, what I think, to – what is needed here to respond to this situation? Can I see this from a different perspective? What about the fact that it’s not all about me?
Sharing, Community, Co-operation happen in the here and now, and if one recognizes that happening there is an illumination that comes for a moment, just a moment. An affirmation that change is possible. That moment speaks, and it says: this is possible, this can happen, this can be the future of humanity.

Many years ago, in 2009, Bob and I did an awareness session on the topic of the Human Potential. We had only begun to offer SourcePoint Therapy workshops, and people were asking about this “highest potential of the human being.” We’re working on archives from the early days of SourcePoint Therapy and this one feels relevant to everything we are working with these days, so we’re sharing it here. An Awareness session is not an intuitive reading, nor is it channeling in the usual sense, and not a psychic reading. It is a shift in consciousness, to a greater, wider view of oneself, the cosmos and life itself. It is the field in which the information now named SourcePoint Therapy arose. It is an awareness we all have access to.
So, here is what we simply call “The Awareness” speaking in 2009.
“ We would like to continue exploring the theme from the last time, which was about the fundamental intention of SourcePoint energy work. The intention the SourcePoint Therapy work is not only to alleviate pain and suffering. Of course this is the core at any time for any healers’ work, but at this particular time in history the work is also about bringing in the information that actualizes and awakens the human potential. This information is not only for the benefit of the individual’s healing and actualizing their potential, but to help bring about a shift in the collective human consciousness.
The intention inherent in the SourcePoint Therapy work is expressed by the Diamond Points: connect to Source, ground and awaken that information on this plane of existence, activate this information on this plane of existence, working particularly with individual beings, to bring transformation to the collective human being.
This transformation expresses initially in individuals as a shift in their energy, a sense of hope, of health and well-being, of being returned to oneself.
However, this information is also actualizing the highest potential of the human being.
What is the highest potential of the human being?
To be able to live on this earth in peace, harmony, co-operation, sharing, communication and connection, with each other and the larger cosmos.
In the highest potential of the human being the possibility of creativity, the capacity for love, joy and service, the capacity for choice, the capacity for the awareness of Awareness are all awaiting activation.
This “connection to the larger cosmos” is meant quite literally, in terms of connection and communication that await the human, with other dimensions, other star systems, other planetary beings.
To join the “community of the stars” is an aspect of the human potential, that humans take their place in a larger community of being. That the human view of the cosmos expands and a vast network of being is experienced.
All this involves an evolution of the energy centers of the human being. As the connection to Source, to the Blueprint of Health for the human being, is strengthened, the human being begins to remember, to re-experience the greater network of being it belongs to. As the energy centers open and shift and are activated, then the brain is, as many are experiencing, getting rewired. Certain channels of perception and experience and energy begin to open up. This involves a greater prevalence of what previously has been called Extra Sensory Perception.
A development of communication through and within consciousness is happening. Many people are experiencing an increased sensitivity of the nervous system. As this happens, it means humans become more sensitive to their situations with each other. Human beings cannot continue to create the same kinds of circumstances, the same world as they have in the past. They have to begin to use the technology they are developing to heal rather than hurt. This is an evolutionary development that will go on over the next several hundred years. However this alternate path of communication, sharing and co-operation must be embarked upon in the next one hundred years
(note, now in 2026, that’s down to 83 years…)
The work that is being done now to open the energy centers, to shift them, to activate them, really is not some “new age story.” There is a real thing going on here, leaving aside all kinds of stories about star systems, ancient histories, and so on. There is a shift occurring that is important for the human being and the planet the human being dwells upon.
There is a choice point here. It is a choice that is going to be made over the next 100 or so years by the response of individuals to this information coming in through many streams of communication.
The path of community, co-operation and sharing has existed among many cultures. Now, at the societal level it is disappearing as an option. However, that path is open and can be chosen, to live in co-operation and community and connection to the greater network of being. As we have said many times, now it is a necessity for the survival of human beings and their planet for that path to be taken.”

As I type these words now, in 2026, they resonate more than ever. We offer them to all those who feel themselves on a journey of healing and self-transformation. We have companions on our journey, and sanctuaries along the way.
My hope is that the words shared in these monthly writings can provide some nourishment for our journey.
I’ll close today with another not-poem from my little 2018 book of “not-poems, moments of awareness.”
*******
today
i am drinking
of those waters
that taste of sorrow
flowing from
the deep waters
of human experience
oh buddha
how right you were
greed and anger and ignorance
life is suffering
and yet
and yet
i am drinking also
the waters of gratitude
flowing from
all that holds me here
in this world’s embrace
love
a good friend
giving birth
bringing new life
yes
my son and his beloved
finding each other
yes
my partner’s hand
in mine
yes
eternal truths
Love that brings Awareness
Awareness that gives rise to Love
streams that become rivers
oh Love oh Awareness
make me worthy
of these times
