We don't have to do anything to create a
spiritual revolution on our planet, other than embrace spiritual ideas inside
our hearts, bypassing our fears and attempting to live this new
evolution...

The
world will change when more and more people carve out time from their busy
schedules to raise questions, challenge assumptions, set high standards, and
pitch in to help each other. The
meaning that people find in their work and families will be.....

In case you haven't noticed, it's
election time again... Of course if you watch TV at all, or read
newspapers, or listen to the radio, it would be difficult not to know that there
are elections coming up in the United States. Everybody, it seems, is talking
about it...

Lack of personal
meaning and fulfillment is endemic to contemporary Western and Westernized
societies. Why are depression, anxiety, and suicide increasingly common? I
believe the cause has more to do with what we bring - or don't bring - to life
than with...

People can no longer leave
sociocultural, as well as economic, decisions to a few controllers, while
themselves concentrating on a range of personal problems from the search for
shelter to a good vacation spot. We now need to admit that each of us must be concerned with the
total situation of our society...

Throughout the years, I became more cognizant of the high levels of stress, anxiety, suffering, and
exhaustion that are the signature of our modem lifestyle. It became clear that the vision of woman being offered by the
dream merchants of our Western society was extremely
problematic.

It’s official. The leading cause of death in
America is not heart disease, not cancer --
but medicine itself! A new book co-authored by nutritionist Gary
Null called -- appropriately enough -- Death
by Medicine claims that over 700,000
Americans die each year as a result of
medical treatment. In 2001, in
comparison, just under 700,000 Americans died
from heart disease and 550,000 died of cancer.

by Tanya Denckla. An organic garden is not a machine. It is a living system of balanced forces between, for example, predator and prey, and these forces are always in flux. Soil composition, air quality, water, birds, bugs, weeds -- these are just a few of the forces that determine the nature and health of your garden. Your role as garden steward is to encourage the balance in your favor, not to take over nature's role in the name of achieving the goal of perfection.

by The Dalai Lama (with Fabien Ouaki). None of us can afford to assume that somebody else will solve our problems; each of us must take his or her own share of universal responsibility. Adopting an attitude of universal responsibility is essentially a personal matter. The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.

Hate and ignorance will never be solved by more hate and ignorance. Tolerance and respect need to be taught early in life and incorporated into home life, as well as part of school training. Actions speak louder than words, and if our children hear us say one thing, but we do otherwise...

I've written a book about Bush's environmental record, but it's not so much about the environment as it is about an excess of corporate power and the corrosive impact of that on our democracy. And it's not about a Democrat attacking a Republican. I've been disciplined for 20 years as an environmental advocate about being non-partisan and bi-partisan in my approach to these issues. I don't think there's any such thing as Republican children or Democratic children.

by Bill Douglas. The levels of consciousness...we are now going through as a nation. The first is a shocked numbness, the next rage and anger, and this followed by a great sorrow that seems so unbearable that sometimes people stay locked in the rage/anger stage in order to avoid the sorrow that seems so desolate and overwhelming. |
