if we trust and let our energies infiltrate the world (this requires patience and certainty)I believe we will be surprised and delighted by the outcome.

Fundumantalist = dictatorship of what you should believe right?
Tolerance = allowing people to explore and come to their own conclusions.

I’ve actually noticed the trend towards a general spirituality. A lot of people I meet seem to not want to come under any “banner” of a particular religion. They say they are not religious, they are spiritual. I think I am both. I actually believe the words of the Bible and use that as guidance in my life. I think spirituality is putting the teachings of religion into action.

I can’t say I’m well read in other religions but I do like to learn. I visited the Dalai Lama when he came to Australia to hear what he had to say. I also learnt a little bit about the Hindu religion. There is so much to learn from others.

I would hate to be told what to think.

a shift in consciousness by the people is what is needed.

It’s up to Us - people, the homo-sapiens.
I’m afraid - it may go wrong way,
but
I hope - it won’t.
If the power of love wins - we’re safe,
if the power of greed, control etc.,
(I call it power of darkness) - then we’re in trouble.
Hopefully we’ll be wise enough to understand what ‘s most important.
If not??
I don’t even want to guess.

There’s this quote from “Macbeth”:

POWER is Macbeth’s curse.
It inflames his guilt,
It forces him to abandon love;
He lives in the shadows of the night,
sleepless and afraid of being plotted against;
and in the end..
POWER drives him mad.

I hope that the civilization won’t go mad.(?)

love
