Thank you for these reminders. I have found the environmental organizations have many ways to participate in the resolutions of climate change. And I LOVE the idea of starting with Love and a Vision - something I have been working on personally. Oh, one of my favorite quotes, ‘… the energies of love.”

Daniel Rieders to Panelists and Attendees (8:31 AM)
just saying.  GOTTMAN talks about engaging in failure is failure.
Malini Rajendran - Infinite Life to Panelists and Attendees (8:32 AM)
Shannon I don't think we know the truth about mars. Was there life on mars or any other planet of the solar system we do not have adequate authentic information . All that is being peddled is conjuncture or opinionated facts. But the fact remains HUMANITY needs to stop being arrogant and presuming Mother earth needs us to set its self right. Covid has clearly shown how puny we all are.
Jon Harvey to Panelists and Attendees (8:33 AM)
You mean "conjecture" not "conjuncture"
The compulsive spell-checker so says.
Malini Rajendran - Infinite Life to Panelists and Attendees (8:34 AM)
If humanity just stops creating the problems NOW and wake up to our erroneous lifestyle and ways of thinking.

Malini Rajendran - Infinite Life to Panelists and Attendees (8:37 AM)
Well it was science that got us into this mess in the first place. Material science that continues to create materials that cannot be recycled or processed or are not biodegradable.  Physical sciences that created the atom bomb. Architectural sciences that created mega cities with environmentally unsustainable building design. So I would like to take a step back from science for the time being,
895 837 864 Password  FYJ to Panelists and Attendees (8:38 AM)
wasn’t science tat led us into this mess..our greed and the eco ómicrones system we developed.
Me to All panelists and other attendees (8:38 AM)
a point Malini - everything is suffused with greed and selfishness.
895 837 864 Password  FYJ to Panelists and Attendees (8:39 AM)
economic system!
Jon Harvey to Panelists and Attendees (8:39 AM)
Malina, I think the problem is really philosophical materialism- the false belief that matter is all there is, the false belief that since we know material causes that there are no spiritual causes. Science provides a temptation to this belief, but there are many scientists who also understand spirituality
Roslyn Scheuerman Scheuerman to Panelists and Attendees (8:39 AM)

Dr. Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson to Panelists and Attendees (8:44 AM)
In my view, coming from an African American tradition & exploring various religious myself, it often seems that we use the God concept very differently, as if God created humanity & we returned the favor via our projections about There is an interesting book by Steve Rother titled “So I’m God…Now What?: Tools for Empowered Human Beings

Negative impact of huge factory farms in terms of NOX generated and horrendous cruel treatment of our animal species.

Crystal to Panelists and Attendees (9:05 AM)
One of the challenges is that so much trauma has been generated by churches and that needs to be named and addressed before the churches can be leaders.  This trauma must be processed communally for trust to be developed again . . .

Although we have all been conditioned by the culture of violence in our world, love and forgiveness of ourselves and "others" for our acts of omission and commission is the path make individual inter-being choices to reallocate resources to life-giving purposes, reduce our carbon footprint, consumption, reuse and recycle everything possible, and teach others by our own example to make the systemic change required. We need to generate the conversation that we can be the change we wish to see in our world to make a difference during our lifetime NOW for the sustainable future of our Earth, Mother Nature.

I recommend the Call for a New Moral Revival of the Poor People’s Campaign https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org   They have a strong environmental /climate commitment along with intersectionality with other important issues. They have a convincing analysis of how systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy and the false moral narrative of Christian nationalism must be undone for our people to flourish.

“Peace with Everything, and Everything with Peace.” ~ Lama Gangchen

We are envisioning a powerful step for Humanity Rising forward and upward by creating a National “Department of Peace!” We get to act as “HUMANKIND - Be Both.”

When you have any ideas that could bring peace in any manner, anywhere, anytime, please apply it and then share it. With us too… 

At the turn of the year, we’re planning a major podcast of about 2-3 weeks, 90 minutes on weekdays. Your input would be much appreciated. 

Together we fly more easily… :) The worldwide Department(s) of Peace will dramatically reduce violence and wars… We get what we focus upon. 

Lots of Love,

K. A. Krueger
Department of Peace.

Cheryl Ritenbaugh to Panelists and Attendees (9:25 AM)
One understanding of the antagonism of the major religions to nature is that it stems from the years of the black death, when nature had to be conquered because it was so dangerous.  The great religions could change then, they can change back now.
