“Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war. If this is the peace you seek, purify your body by sensible living habits, purify your mind by expelling all negative thoughts, purify your motives by casting out any ideas of greed or self-striving and by seeking to serve you fellow human beings, purify your desires by eliminating all wishes for material possessions or self-glorification and by desiring to know and do God's will for you. Inspire others to do likewise.” IfsKnowsMindHumansIdeasWarSelfBodyDesireWishHuman BeingsInspireMaterialsHabitConflictNegativeUltimateFellowsStriveGreedSeekingPossessionYour BodyGods WillOccasionsMotiveSensibleCastingFinding PeaceNegative ThoughtsEliminatingInspire OthersMaterial PossessionsPeace WithinGlorificationSelf Glorification Author:Peace Pilgrim

“Our problem with limited resources is not primarily overpopulation; it is greed. Our problem with pollution is not the invention of fluorocarbons or mass transport; it is irresponsibility. The loss of an acre of forest every second, the mass slaughter of elephants for their ivory, the extinction of entire species of plants, insects and animals all over the world is not something that "just happens" because there are more of us human beings. It happens because the race of ruling beings put in charge has almost wholly lost its sense of stewardship. We have turned away from God.” WorldHumansProblemHappensLostHuman BeingsLossAnimalRaceMassResourcesPlantSpeciesEnvironmentalGreedInventionForestsPollutionElephantsInsectsRulingExtinctionStewardshipSlaughterTransportEvery SecondAcresIvoryIrresponsibilityOverpopulationLimited Resources Author:Winkie Pratney
