Barriers To World Peace
However vital a force religion has been in the history of humankind, and however dramatic the current resurgence of militant religious fanaticism, religion and religious institutions have, for many decades, been viewed by increasing numbers of people as irrelevant to the major concerns of the modern world. In its place they have turned either to […]
The Bedrock Of World Peace Is The Consciouness Of The Oneness Of Humankind
The Human Family Is An Organic Whole
What is true of the life of the individual has its parallels in human society. The human family is an organic whole, the leading edge of the evolutionary process. That human consciousness necessarily operates through an infinite diversity of individual minds and motivations detracts in no way from its essential unity. Indeed, it is precisely […]
War Is Not Inevitable! Peace Is Inevitable!
“War is not inevitable. Peace is inevitable, if we are willing to explore the inherent truth of human unity – if we are willing to contemplate the undeniable fact that we’re all one, that we are interdependent and interconnected. This compelling truth of human unity needs to be called upon at a time of division. […]
To Choose World Peace Is Not To Deny Humanity’s Past But To Understand It
To choose the path of World Peace is not to deny humanity’s past but to understand it.

The Strife That Divides And Afflicts The Human Race Is Daily Increasing-World Peace An Imperative, Not An Option
“The winds of despair”, the Ancient of Days wrote, “are, alas, blowing from every direction, and the strife that divides and afflicts the human race is daily increasing. The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, inasmuch as the prevailing order appears to be lamentably defective.” This prophetic judgement has been amply […]
Religious Fanaticism Is A Clear Sign Of Spiritual Bankruptcy
The resurgence of fanatical religious fervour occurring in many lands cannot be regarded as more than a dying convulsion. The very nature of the violent and disruptive conditions associated with it testifies to the spiritual bankruptcy it represents. Indeed, one of the strangest and saddest features of the current outbreak of religious fanaticism is the […]
Massive Fish Kill Found In Louisiana
What you see above isn’t a rural gravel road. It’s a Louisiana waterway, its surface completely covered with dead sea life — a mishmash of species of fish, crabs, stingray and eel. New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV reports that even a whale was found dead in the area, a stretch of coastal Louisiana hit hard this summer […]
