“As our planet takes action to cast out its manmade poisons and heal its man-caused wounds, many human inhabitants will no doubt give way to fear. Many will cling to seemingly powerful we're-God's-chosen-people religions, hoping that by so doing they will be saved from the wrath of a Vengeful God (not recognizing that the approaching "vengeance" will in reality be man's own actions coming back at him - and not recognizing that the Infinite Universal Power is far more than the narrow-minded gatekeeper of an exclusive Spiritual Country Club).” PeopleMenWayGivingHumansCountryRealityActionEarthSpiritualPowerfulDoubtPlanetsUniversalInfiniteCastsClubsWoundsSavedHealChosenPoisonNo DoubtRecognizingVengeanceComing BackWrathExclusiveOur PlanetNarrow-mindedVengefulGatekeepersCountry Clubs Author:Benjamin Hoff
“A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices.

“Spiritually, trees play a unique role in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, from the Garden of Eden to the Cross of Christ. Biologically, in great forest communities, they help sustain life on our planet, giving off oxygen, anchoring soil, keeping stream and rivers clear, and providing habitation for thousands of species. How can religious persons not care about the widespread destruction of these creatures of God? We need to love them as our very selves, as neighbors in earth's community of life.” NeedsGivingPersonsSelfPlayHelpingCareEarthChristianChristCommunityReligiousRolesClearTreePlanetsCreaturesUniqueGardenRiversCrossesDestructionSpeciesNeighborScriptureForestsStreamsSoilProvidingOxygenOur PlanetEdenGarden Of EdenReligious Person Author:Elizabeth A.

“We are altering the most basic forces of the planet's surface - the content of the sunlight, the temperature and aridity - and that brings out the most powerful questions about who is in charge.

“When I look at the human brain I'm still in awe of it. Every single time you lift off the bone and open the durra and there it is - the human brain, the thing that gives a person a personality, that distinguishes each one of us, that there could be more than 6 billion of us here on this planet with brains that look the same, but each one being distinctly different because of what is going on in that thing. I'll never get over my awe of that.” GivingHumansLooksPersonsStillsDifferentBrainPlanetsPersonalityBonesBillionsLiftsAweGet OverHuman Brain Author:Benjamin Carson

“Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fathers. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized” ThinkingGivingLittlesMadeLightEarthFatherSunPlanetsMoonRegardShiningIgnorantEveningVainSpheres Author:Brigham Young

“Individually we can work on ourselves. By working on your own ego and developing truth, control, and an equitable inner dialogue, you individualize the spirit within you through the process of observation. If you work on yourself, the progress you make radiates invisibly to others, helping them and giving them courage, which also improves the global picture. After all-your ego is a part of the world ego, and as you control it, you lessen the overall influence of the world ego while expanding the presence of truth on our planet.” IfsWorldInspirationalGivingHelpingSpiritProcessProgressInfluencePlanetsEgoDialogueObservationDevelopingWithin YouExpandingOur PlanetEquitable Book:More Love: Tender Moments Source: More Love: Tender Moments
