A GREEN Bill of Rights
                Models for Happy and Peaceful EarthLife—and a Message of Hope

The Basic Situation

The old days of wasteful, dangerous, separatist “tribalism” are over. They don’t work and never really have. They are aiming us directly toward disaster. The new days of conservation, real peace, true security (harmlessness) and unity are in. This works—for Humankind, the non-humans, the plants, and our living, breathing Earth altogether.

Have you ever wondered why, in sci-fi movies that project Humankind into the future, we are pictured demonstrating the same infantile, childish, and adolescent war-like and divisive qualities we suffer now—despite the portrayed advanced technology?

Have you ever wondered why we humans haven’t been able to “get it together” to stop killing each other—and abusing the plants, animals and the planet—and create a peaceful civilization of cooperation, tolerance, accountability and love?

Since our beginnings, we have been living and speaking one-at-a-time, from our imagined “tribal” places of separateness, separativeness and separation—instead of from our real and factual always-already place of unity. In our history, certain events have contributed to this attitude of separation, or egoity. The old ways of tribal attitude encouraged by those events are still in place and driving us. We got away with that attitude until now. But we can no longer continue this old way of acting and thinking. It is destroying us and our entire planet.

As a natural expression of the basic only-human quality of the comprehension of totality and universality, people take refuge and citizenship in nation-states because they (we) by inherent right expect the nation-state to guarantee and actively uphold our necessary basic human rights to unlimited physical participation and unlimited protection from physical violence (from crime within the state or war from without it). Therefore, every nation-state must necessarily guarantee and uphold these necessary expectations and inherent rights of each and all of its citizens, residents and visitors.

The entire planet Earth is now in the end-time of the end-game of egoity, where—and by virtue of the products of such egoity—we and all of life on Earth are threatened by potential conflagration. This disaster need not and must not occur.

Therefore, we human Earthlings (along with the other life forms here) now desperately need a realistic, genuine and heart-felt plan for not only survival but rightly living together. That plan is now described in the book, Not-Two IS Peace, by Adi Da (3rd edition, $14.95, Amazon).

In order to merely exist in a livable environment—much less aspire to higher life (to what is sacred)—we need fundamental change in our actions, in our relationships to each other and to our natural environment. Having developed a sense of how our egoic and separatist past actions have negatively affected this planet habitat and its living organisms (including each other), we now must understand our need to abandon our old, outmoded and otherwise dead provincialism and separative tribalism and embrace the obvious unity amidst our diversity. We must now grow in our consciousness into real human adulthood, restoring our Earth to clarity and balance.

There can no longer be any “us vs. them.” We have been warring on ourselves—and taking the natural world with us. In this time of instant world-wide communication and nuclear weaponry, there is no more “us and them”. There is only “us”. We must now grow out of our infantile, childish, adolescent, parochial attitudes, behaviors, and ways of relating to each other and the world. We must acknowledge our inherent unity and Oneness with everyone and everything. Here are some means we may therefore require of ourselves:

• The creation of a True CULTURE OF WISDOM (and a new civilization!) to replace the “crazy random culture” and remnant of civilization we humans (and hence—from our silliness, and by extension—our fellow non-human Earthlings) currently suffer. We must begin creating worldwide cultural circumstances and a new mode of social contract that allows for natural, easeful, true human growth beyond the lower (infantile, childish and adolescent) Stages of Life. Our civilization has been unraveling since the 2 World Wars (see the essay, Reality-Humanity). Herein are ways to rebuild civilization and restore faith in our selves and in the higher realms of life (including the Divine) that pseudo science says do not exist but that real science is discovering to have always been true. It is time to create a relatively more stable, peaceful world based on higher understanding, cooperation, tolerance and love.

• Ending GROSS EGOITY and beginning REAL UNITY: Egoity (the activity of separateness, separativeness, and separation) is the very root of all our problems. It is (fundamentally) our only “problem”. In fact, there isn’t a particle of separation anywhere in all the universes. All is One absolute, undifferentiated, eternal Unity. This can be realized thru fearless investigation. Everything we do and think affects every thing and every one “else”. Everything is interconnected as this Unity. Here on this psycho-physical Earth, we are a family of human and non-human beings, a wonderful Unity. Beyond the conceit and hubris of our egoity, we humans must now learn to live in balance in the web of life here among our family members, human and non-human alike.

It is time we began living a unified and unifying life of mutual respect, kindness and self-forgetting, self-transcending love. The Internet, as a neutral vehicle of communication, is the main means of us gathering together and being heard—and felt—all at once. “Human beings must accept, with humility, that their rightful position (and that of every one) in the naturally indivisible world-family of Earthkind (including humankind) is not the ‘ego-place’ of dis-unity (and, thus, of separateness, separativeness, domination, and control), but the ‘heart-place’ of prior unity (and, thus, of ego-transcending cooperation and tolerance).” —Adi Da (Download the book, Not-Two IS Peace, at www.Da-Peace.org or purchase it via Amazon.com). Also see The Great Turning, by David C. Korten.

• POPULATION GROWTH: Continued uncontrolled growth in our numbers, done within the context of egoity (as ignorance, lack of education and understanding), has been a factor in the wreaking of havoc on our world. The ancient axiom “be fruitful and multiply” no longer applies to an over-populated Earth—at least not to the degree we’ve been doing it. Creating a big family to care for us in our old age is obviated by true cooperative community. Teaching family planning and natural birth control, we intelligently bear children in numbers that can be cherished, in safe, clean, healthy environments—like bearing one child per couple for a few generations—and taking in orphans when we can manage a larger family. This can bring significant relief on the Earth altogether as our numbers diminish to a more manageable 3 billion or so.

• WAR: It is overwhelmingly obvious to anyone of even marginal intelligence that war can no longer solve our disputes (which are all based on egoic separativeness and provincialism, anyway). Nuclear weapons obviate war. Modern non-nuclear warfare only guarantees certain big industries lots of money, with lots of people killed needlessly, and otherwise great destruction and suffering. Non-lethal means, especially including honest and heart-felt arbitration, are far more intelligent and appropriate. Representatives of nations must now gather at the negotiation table as brothers and sisters (e.g., in the context of the original idea of the United Nations) and work things out on the unity principle of wisdom, mutual respect, tolerance, kindness and love. And we can all gather all-at-once on the Net to have our say (see the book, Not-Two IS Peace, downloadable free on www.da-peace.org) and hold each other accountable.

• BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS/Civil Rights/Freedom/Justice: Every human being has a right to pure air and water, a clean & healthy natural environment, their own shelter, to speak & otherwise freely and openly express their heart, equality of the sexes, freedom of religion, a living wage, equal pay for equal work, & a good education (www.avaaz.org). The old ways of world governments have moved toward a negative and false “unification” in which our basic human rights are eventually taken away. Under-the-skin embedded RFID chips, the 666 monster whereby our every move is tracked from birth to death—and can therefore be controlled by power-mad people—is being sold to us as a means of safety and security “for our protection” (see the video, America—One Nation Under Siege). In recent years (especially under the Bush Administration), many of the rights guaranteed to American citizens (e.g., due process) have been eroded (see the DVD The End of America). These freedoms must be restored. We must see an end to big-money corporate lobbying and control.

• INT’L POLITICS: Big-guy-on-the-block bullying and “we’re-the-cops-of-the-world” politics, where 3 or 4 national governments, banks, super-rich families, and multi-national corporations dominate the international politico-economic scene, is the old ineffective way. The United Nations or a new similarly developed organization can be an appropriate forum—a “Global Cooperative Forum” (—Adi Da) for all countries, each with an equal voice working together in harmony to free us from egoity, selfishness, poverty, want, over-population, global warming, pollution, corporate greed, government insensitivity and irresponsibility—solving all these problems together. This can and must happen. Read the UN Charter and the American Constitution and see how and why all governments (and people in general, for that matter) must be held accountable by each other for our every act. We the people can and must hold any and all governments accountable via the Internet and otherwise directly.

• USA POLITICS: In the USA, we need to eliminate the electoral college and have direct voting by the citizenry. No more corporate lobbying. No more off-shore tax havens—for anyone. No more (it’s always been illegal, anyway) federal income tax. No President can solve all our problems. He’s got problems of his own (the ego). Let’s help him! We all must contribute our share and be positive about it. We must eliminate the waste from our lives—altogether.

• HUNGER / STARVATION / FOOD for ALL: A world population of 3 billion with smaller families is obviously easier to feed. This happens thru education and technology. When we are more educated we have smaller families. We must teach and encourage each other to eat raw, ripe, locally-grown, natural (un-tainted) vegetal foods. The mass murder of animals for food is immoral, inhumane, extremely wasteful of land, and ruinous to resources and land—which is better put into production for vegetal food. The sharing of wealth and compassion is a major part of this equation. With all our current wealth, there is no need for starvation and hunger (see www.ONE.org).

• RENEWABLE POWER: The technology to power motor vehicles cleanly and efficiently has long been known. Bypassing government bureaucratic red tape and auto/oil industry fearful stonewalling, there already exists free and plentiful power for everyone via sun, ocean current, tidal, reconstituted waste, geothermal and wind energy. True cooperative communities of 16-25 persons can get off the grid via this power—cheaply and easily. Meanwhile, individual families can make similar moves into sun, wind, and other natural energy sources.

POLLUTION: Consuming less and insisting on clean, non-polluting, sustainable energy and materials reduces corruption of our air, land, water and food. Moving to essentially hi-raw or all-raw vegetarian diet eliminates animal slaughter (see the DVD Earthlings and the book Green Gorilla)—a cruel and vicious insult and betrayal of our non-human Earth-relatives. Fossil fuels and the murder of animals are the two main sources of pollution (see Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie, The 11th Hour and the book, Green Gorilla).

• CONSUMER EXPANSION: A very big part of pollution is how we use materials in our lives. The notion that unless we continue to grow in business we’re not as good as the competition (and maybe not even worthy to be in business) has been ruinous to the environment and to our outlook on life. Unchecked and irresponsible growth—especially of many large corporations, with their greed, insensitivity and lack of accountability—has devastated the physical and emotional environment of our lovely planet. Combine that with wrong social concepts and we have been working and consuming like slavish automatons. (Any society based on the limiting force of conditional existence has already lost its way. We must begin basing our lives on the presumption of—and intuition of—Infinite Being.)
Imagine “reverse growth” in large corporations, population, and at the national level (GNP), production scaled back to our real human needs and the needs of our environment while artistic and technological creativity and invention continue ahead. A video (www.storyofstuff.com/international/) called The Story of Stuff describes this process in a simple but meaningful way.

• MEDICINE: Big Pharma’s death-dealing, drug-dealing, power-&-money-hungry stranglehold on medicine has had devastating effects on the health of people worldwide, and for far too long, and must now come to an end (see the book, Medical Armageddon). They like to take a biologically active natural substance (like, e.g., strawberries) and synthesize novel chemical derivatives that have similar but usually more exaggerated biological activities—but usually with unwanted side effects that the original substance didn’t have. And now these derivatives belong exclusively to the drug company that patented and is now selling them to us at high prices as prescription drugs. Note that you can’t patent foods and herbs: they’re natural substances (the drug companies don’t like this one little bit!).
In true healthcare, as opposed to the current “disease-care” practiced by the monstrously abusive drug-company-dominated Western allopathic medicine, most drugs are unnecessary most of the time. Drugs are based on a wrong principle. When right life is practiced (see the book, The GREAT Liquid Diet), drugs are essentially unnecessary. Will corporate-owned TV reveal that every chronic degenerative disease—including cancer—is (unless in the terminal stage) both curable and preventable via natural means—especially via natural raw diet? Doctors, physicians and healers can practice natural health and teach patients about pure hi-raw or all-raw vegetarian diet, life-positive lifestyle, and how to be health self-responsible and unexploitable (see the book, Green Gorilla). Three objectives of the true healer: (1) get the patient to understand how they got the disease, (2) get them to be responsible for it and to change their act accordingly, and (3) get energy moving down the frontal line of the body.

• PRODUCT LONGEVITY: Instead of planned obsolescence (in order to increase sales), products can be manufactured appropriately to last far longer, even indefinitely—like non-polluting automobiles that last many decades of service before wearing out. The materials used in all products can be recyclable and the finest according to real needs and use—not to maximize profits or otherwise at the expense of the environment or that would endanger life and limb of humans and non-humans.

• AGRICULTURE: Giant AgriBusiness has typically insensitively raped and ruined the Earth with poisonous chemical pesticides & fertilizers and with concentrated animal wastes, only to produce comparatively unwholesome food. It has murdered and abused animals (see the DVD Earthlings). We do not need to eat animal flesh to be healthy. Many of us can easily grow our own wholesome natural and unsprayed vegetal food in our back yards and in small, human-scale cooperative communities (CoopComs), thus trusting the source of our food to be healthy and wholesome, no longer dependent on giant Ag-Biz and their heretofore callous, careless abuse of animals, plants and the environment.

• MEDIA: TV has for too long been a phony display of pretended self-fulfillment that blatantly panders to the drug companies that pay for its advertising. Much of what it presents is sensationalist and misleading trash. Mainly, these people seem interested in controversy, pitting one side against another, all to sell ads. Whenever they find something that actually has value, they trot out some idiot with an opposing view to make the good stuff seem silly. Beyond the present corporate media control, with their violent “news” (‘if it bleeds, it leads’), we can use the Internet to educate each other to the forces that affect our lives and encourage each other away from separateness and to the Reality of Unity that exists in Truth. No more domination and control of media by drug-company-persuaded bias and military/industrial/corporate greed. For better quality news, avoid the big media. Better to use www.therealnews.com, which is not paid by big corporate advertising, or at least www.worldnews.com and other Internet sources. Meanwhile, we must urge media to encourage cooperation, tolerance, universal participation and accountability.
Ever notice how SciFi movies always seem to portray future cultures as technologically advanced and yet culturally the same or similar to our own crazy random silly infantile childish adolescent culture. There are always the armaments, the fighting, the conflict. You’d think future civilizations would have gotten all that together and learned to live in peace. Why is that? Because we cannot understand how to truly grow culturally or spiritually, to live in harmony with each other and our environments. That requires true adult behavior, working as a unity, really cooperating with each other, living from the principle of unity instead of division, instead of separatist tribalism.

• RELIGION: Extraordinary yogis, saints and sages, the Saviors of Mankind, have occasionally appeared among us to Grant Their Wisdom and Guide us to Awakening to the Real Happiness already latent in our hearts. Common religion has typically developed only after the passing of these Great Ones, degrading their original Great Teachings, via our egoity, into human-mind-created gods, meaningless rituals, illusion, delusion and various forms of insanity (see the video Zeitgeist ). Historically, the result has been only silliness and terrible suffering (e.g., the Crusades, teaching and practicing prejudice and hatred, beheading or otherwise killing “infidels”, and forcing “religion” on others (see Dr. Wafa Sultan, http://switch5.castup.net/frames/20041020_MemriTV_Popup/video_480x360.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=null,). Notice that celibacy, when not required, can occur naturally in the process of real Spiritual life—whereas, when required by religion, we have priests abusing children thru their suppressed natural expression of sexuality.

Real religious leaders and practitioners dedicate their lives to Divine Awakening, to living a truly moral and Godward life, and help and encourage others (those who are ready) to do the same. We must all now actually allow and tolerate the religious beliefs of others, and not persecute people of different beliefs or teach our children to hate others because of these differences (see the movie American History X). The word “sin” comes from the Greek “hemartia”: to miss the mark—the “mark” being God, the Divine. The only “sin” is egoity, the ego, the activity of separativeness and separation, which activity we all suffer. True human adulthood is when we’re more God-possessed (like Mother Teresa) than self-possessed (most of the rest us). True adult human life is when the fun really begins!

The sacred (God, Absolute Unity, Reality, the Eternal Divine) is the Context of our lives, That on and in Which we appear and utterly depend. What tradition can claim to own It? Religious tolerance is thus completely obvious and simply must prevail. Moreover, we must outgrow our need for useless ancient ritual and silly fables that have passed for religion. Religion (“re-lig”, to re-join—with the Divine) is rightly about identifying with and otherwise being One with the Very Divine, God, the Blissful Great One, the Consciousness of all and All. It is not about mere belief, but the present enjoyment of Awakening into Perfect Happiness, the desire of every heart. Ask yourself: What can you do in any moment that is positive and that can make life better for yourself and for those around you?

• TAXES and THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Imagine not needing a tax on our income, our government shrinking to a size reflecting our actual need. The federal income tax never was legal (see Aaron Russo’s film, AMERICA: From Freedom to Fascism), and the Federal Reserve never was federal, but a private group of wealthy men and women who have control of our money (see the video, Zeitgeist: Addendum). Both of these institutions have to go—or be drastically revised.

• FORESTRY: Imagine no clear-cut logging, but only sustainable logging, with forests greatly increasing—forests that include the widest variety of hardwoods, softwoods, and every kind of wood in between. We need a major replanting of our forests—especially including land that has been made into pasture for “animal husbandry”—meaning butchering various non-humans. (We need to release those animals and start treating them decently—including leaving them alone!)

• PHONE and POWER LINES: Some things you gotta pay the price for the first time around (—Andy Rooney). Phone, power and TV cable lines belong underground, not as an ugly disfiguring blight on our skies, our senses, and our views of the natural environment. Modern community planning requires it—and for these and other very good reasons. (Line-less power transfer technology has been known of for years, with upgrades currently in the works.) Meanwhile, need jobs? How many and how long will it take to get existing lines underground—all over the world! Why? At least to beautify our environment.

• ARCHITECTURE / HOME DESIGN: Monolithic Dome homes and buildings (www.monolithic.com) cost the same to build as wooden ones but are virtually disaster-proof and can easily last 1000 years. Hurricanes can’t get a hold of them; fire can’t hurt them; earthquakes can do only minimal damage, if any. Heating, cooling, maintenance and insurance are all very low-cost. (Of course, if you’re silly and build on a flood plane or on a primary coastal dune, you deserve what’s coming!) Remember the Three Little Pigs nursery rhyme, the one who built his house of bricks? Let’s abandon building homes of wood—and save our forests. Let’s build consciously and in the right locations, with Nature in mind (see Ian McHarg’s excellent book, Design with Nature).
Ever wonder why it’s painful to drive thru most cities, whereas driving in the countryside is a pleasure, where Nature hasn’t been disturbed? We need a different architecture and city design, where Nature is taken into account, designs that are pleasing to the eye, rounded, clean, uncluttered, uncongested, human-scale, un-crowded, in harmony with the surroundings. Consider monolithic domes and other free-flowing structures, which can be made in many different shapes and styles, all softly rounded and easy on the eye. Notice how most of the structures and domiciles we humans originally constructed were rounded: igloo, teepee, hogan, yurt, etc. Design with Nature is crucial to our continued existence—including photosynthetic buildings that themselves recycle all our waste and provide all our energy needs. We already know how.

• GOVERNMENT: We must hold our elected officials accountable. Most have been rather consistently and generally insensitive, irresponsible, gutless, greedy, corrupt, untrustworthy, without integrity, and overly powerful. With more of us living in small, human-scale cooperative communities (CoopComs) of 16-25 persons, growing our own food and producing our own energy, we can make appropriate demands on and agreements with each other and easily hold each other accountable. Thus, most of our current social, economic and political difficulties are pre-solved—in other words, no real need for big government (see www.democracy.com). We have been manipulated for centuries by various powers “for our own good” (see America—One Nation Under Siege). It’s time we ourselves grew up and acted like true adults so we will know how to hold any elected leaders accountable accordingly.

• WRITTEN HISTORY: Wars have been fought for greed, power, imperialism, and the control of oil and other natural resources. The brutalization of the native populations, with genocide and inhuman cruelty practiced by soldiers, has been left out of history books. Examples of heinous abuse and strategic manipulation of actual motives and events by governments and the media must end. Writers must be allowed to righten this by honestly and straightforwardly expressing the real events so that we can learn from them and grow accordingly. No more cover-ups. Let’s be courageous and honest about what has been and is currently happening.

• NATIONALISM: It is no longer tenable for human beings to act in the old parochial, provincial tribal ways that divide us into factions, growling at each other and (as has so often happened) killing each other. We are now a world culture, and must put away these silly differences. We absolutely must grow up and see how we are one family—of Humanity. We are a unity, and we must act like it. As per the Olympic Games, a truly adult human bows humbly in gratitude for the opportunity to participate (and compete cooperatively) in a spirit of brotherhood and love. Running around draped in a national flag is disgraceful. Better to drape oneself in the flag of all nations, and bow the head and bend the knee to The Unity and Oneness That Transcends, Unites, Supports & is the Context of us all. Pride in one’s origins is natural, but egoic, exaggerated displays of separatist attitudes (under the banner of “nationalism” or “patriotism”), the teaching of children to hate others, of racial supremacy and imperialism—this is painful, silly, tribal immorality—the old, dead way. It is no intelligent, adult, humane way for us to relate to each other. We need to encourage understanding, tolerance and cooperation among all nations, all people, all groups—one race: the Human Race.

• FOOD TRANSPORT: Local-growing of food obviates most of the practice of long-distance trucking and shipping. The massive trucking of goods has been extremely environmentally wasteful and economically untenable. Florida oranges trucked to California and California oranges trucked to Florida? To produce more jobs, more trucks, more oil and more pollution?! What insanity! Such craziness cannot any longer be rationalized away as “helpful to the economy”. Locally-grown food is the best and healthiest food. It contains the energies of the location in which it’s grown—and thus will feed us best.

• STRIP MINING: There are ways of extracting minerals only in amounts truly needed and not destructive to the landscape. We already know how. We must insist on these non-destructive practices.

• NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES: Everything can be recycled in a waste-free environment. Certain natural resources of this world are limited by the context of our increasing use. We’ve been abusing those Earth resources as tho they are unlimited. In such cases, we can use universal 7-part recycling: wood/paper, metals, glass, plastics, organics (food/yard wastes), electronics, and drugs/chemicals. We must do this everywhere—now!

• CHILDREN: Mother Teresa said, “Children are the Love of God made visible in the world.” Children can be educated to love and care for everyone (which they do naturally, given just a little encouragement and guidance). In a true Culture of Wisdom, they will grow into real human adults in their kindness, compassion, tolerance, cooperation and love. They will be true stewards of the world. After all, they will be the inheritors of what we have left them. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQmz6Rbpnu0&feature=related) “The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes.”

• WORLD ECONOMY: Imagine a consciousness of utility permeating the culture. The world economic system is based on a totally false principle of making something out of nothing (just printing money and passing it out), of dearth, lack of adequate supply, and the heinous crime of interest—the very idea that money in and of itself has the power to earn. You must sense how this is an inherently wrong principle that has been abusing vast groups of humanity for centuries. The whole economic system of money and interest is a horrendous means of human enslavement with a small group of extremely wealthy people at the top (see Zeitgeist: Addendum). A completely new non-monetary economic system based on abundance needs to replace this monetary one.

• OIL: Our energy needs have been dominated by greedy, power-hungry, totally irresponsible and unaccountable, growth-and-profit-oriented, environmentally-insensitive mega-corporations who now advertise on TV how nice they are by now planning to develop green and renewable power via money they’ve extorted from the people and by government give-aways. It’s time they own up to what they’ve stolen and begin giving back. The technology already exists to provide all of our energy needs, self-produced, “off-the-grid”, and 100% natural and renewable.

• CONSUMERISM: is not an appropriate basis for life. Unity, love of God and Infinite Life is. Imagine manufacturing and purchasing clothing of natural materials, graceful and really needed; buying green and safe automobiles that last a lifetime and because we need them—instead of because they’re overly powerful and touted as capable of 3x the speed limit. Imagine no more planned obsolescence—making a product last only a certain length of time just so another model can be sold to make a profit—when you knew in the first place how to make the product last forever.

• COMMON INTOXICANTS: In ancient and traditional cultures, psychedelics and hallucinogens were used only in sacred ceremonies. By contrast, the so-called “war on drugs” is an enormous waste of life, energy and property, and cannot possibly be “won”. Marijuana, e.g., is a basically harmless substance with some medicinal use. We must stop ruining people’s lives on the basis of its “illegal” possession. Moreover, when we get into pure raw diet as part of a wholesome and life-positive lifestyle within a true Culture of Wisdom we realize no need for these substances.

• Our modern lifestyles, mostly in the West, have us sitting behind desks and otherwise out of touch with our natural environment. We need to get outdoors more with direct experience of the beauty and feel of Nature. We need to appreciate and enjoy the place we live in and make and keep it beautiful. The Earth can regenerate itself after we’re gone because it has all the time in the world—but we don’t! (Within 200 years of us being suddenly and quietly vanished from the planet, it would all be green again.) Most importantly, we can begin to see ourselves as a Unity, one family, all related, humans and non-humans alike, on one beautiful world, a world that we can cherish and care for in gratitude and love.

• Regarding Americans (and Westerners in general): Altho raw natural diet is important to our health, factors that weaken us have more to do with our emotional state: we are embarrassed by how our greedy, insensitive, irresponsible and aggressive banks, corporations, insurance agencies and government administrations have abused the people of the world. We are being told we must maintain the position of police of the world—with the most powerful military, most productive economy, highest living standard, and so on. And yet we see that we’re not the healthiest, happiest, or longest-lived.
We need to be reintegrated into a sense of being a member of the one and only human family, instead of being the big brother who’s the most generous but the most frightening, the most technically advanced but the worst polluter. We need to move past fear and distrust. There isn’t going to be a WWIII. We simply cannot and will not allow that to happen. The next few years portends major world change in the way we live together here. We absolutely need a new social contract, new ways of associating with each other and our fellow Earth inhabitants. In the midst of this change we will sense The Wonderful Truth that binds us together with all of creation and with Itself. We will sense It, we will embrace It, and—to whatever degree we are capable—we will Awaken to It.
