Ways And Needs
Posted by David on October 22, 2007
As is evident from space, the Earth is but one home and mankind its citizens.
Boundaries of nation and creed are not visible but dwell only in the imaginations of men.
Unity is the password here as is >global thinking.
Surely It Is time For >A Different Perspective.
For we Are Cradled Within A Matrix Of Immensity..
Here is a thought:
Science is showing that humanity is genetically a very closely related family. Mitocondrial DNA analysis from populations worldwide point to a common ancester who lived 150 thousand years ago. Racial differences, such as the degree of skin pigmentation, all happened as mankind spread across the globe. As different environments were encountered adaptations over many thousands of years resulted in the variations of hue, height, hair, habits etc. that we see today.
Let us not think of ourselves as Jew, Christian, Muslim, Palestinian, American, etc. But rather as a single humanity dwelling upon one world, calling upon the same universal God of all.
It is time, it is essential for our future, we learn to recognize:
1. The need for global awareness and mutual acceptance:
Unity, diversity, tolerance, appreciation; to know we all share the same deep needs for fellowship, satisfaction, peace and tranquility in our lives.
2. The validity of diverse ways of relating to and worshipping God:
Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism: the “Eightfold Path”, the “Ten Commandments”, “Sermon On The Mount”, the Native American “Four Directions” and much more.
3. The worth of both science and religion:
Science, reason, philosophy; seeing modern technologies as a means of fostering enlightenment and acceptance based on knowledge, communicating with and uniting the world in peace.
