“The unthinkable is that we're distorting this atmospheric balance. We're shifting the chemical balance so that we have more poisons in the atmosphere - ozones and acid rain on ground level - while we're also changing the thermal climate of the earth through the greenhouse effect and - get this - simultaneously causing destruction of our primary filter of ultraviolet light. It's incredible. Talk about the national-debt crisis - we're piling up debts in the atmosphere, and the piper will want to be paid.” WantLightEarthLevelsEffectsBalanceRainDestructionPaidCrisisClimateIncrediblesDebtPrimariesAtmospherePoisonGlobal WarmingChemicalsShiftingAcidFiltersUnthinkableGreenhousesNational DebtPipersOzoneThermalUltravioletAcid RainDebt Crisis Author:Michael Oppenheimer
“The world in the past has been ruled by force, and man has dominated over woman by reason of his more forceful and aggressive qualities both of body and mind. But the balance is already shifting—force is losing its weight and mental alertness, intuition, and the spiritual qualities of love and service, in which woman is strong, are gaining ascendancy. Hence the new age will be an age less masculine, and more permeated with the feminine ideals—or, to speak more exactly, will be an age in which the masculine and feminine elements of civilization will be more evenly balanced.” MenWorldMindHas BeensReasonBodyAgePastSpiritualSpeakStrongForceQualityBalanceCivilizationElementsLosingIdealsWeightIntuitionFeminineAggressiveBalancedNew AgeMasculineShiftingMind And BodyAlertnessMasculine And FeminineAscendancy Author:Abdu'l-Bahá

“From the Israeli perspective, the fear is that if pressure is off of Iran, Israel would be left having to accept the balance of power in the region significantly shifting toward Iran.

“Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.
