Idea 4506 ~
Looking
down at Los
Angeles from
the air it
struck me that
perhaps the
time has come
when not
growing, not
building, not
consuming, not
getting
richer, not
traveling and
transporting
enormous
quantities of
things and
innumerable
people will be
called
progress.
We must consider the Earth to be our real, biggest, essential, most valuable treasure. Earthcapitalism should be the new ideology. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation Chapter 2 - Our Miraculous Planetary Home
Intellectual
qualities are
superior to
physical
qualities; moral
qualities are
superior to
intellectual
qualities; and
spiritual
qualities are
the highest of
all. This is
borne out by our
daily
observations: a
person endowed
with a good
physique and a
fine mind is
superior to one
having only a
good body; a
person who has
also good moral
qualities is
superior to the
former; and most
admirable is he
or she who has a
good physique, a
great
intelligence, a
good heart and a
soul in
communion with
all humanity,
with God and the
universe.
*The same is true of any social group, from the family to the entire human race. Our present human family is still very imperfect because: - it has not yet assured good physical lives to all its 6 billion members: more than a billion still go hungry; - it has not yet provided for good mental lives for all: there are still 800 million illiterates; - it has not yet become a moral world: there are still many wars, injustices, inequalities, violence, hatred, lies, miseducation, misinformation, corruption and dishonesty on our planet; - it is not yet a spiritual world: we have mostly earthly, materialistic concerns and seldom lift our minds, hearts and souls to the universe and to the eternal stream of time. Humanity has still a good way to go.
