Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dear Oprah, .... However, the problems we face in the world are such that we need a lot more. It is possible, as Amma the hugging saint has said, that the human race may become extinct due to its extreme selfishness. What is needed, besides the Tolle course you will be helping to teach, is to replace " competition and criticism " with " cooperation and common sense. " My suggestion, Oprah, is that you have it in your power to gather together, perhaps for a weekend retreat, people like the Clintons, Obama, Edwards, Dennis Kucinick, some Republicans and Independents to start discussions for the formation of a " US Department of Peace " which would not only study but implement the great teachings of non-violence by Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Peace Pilgrim, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Amma( Mata Amritanandamayi ), St Francis, Quakers, Hopi Indians, Tolle, and many others. Think about it, Oprah, it may require some major risks on your part; but like in investments, sometimes the greater the risk the greater the payoff. And saving the human race would be the payoff. On the other hand only God knows if it would be worthwhile at this point. We may have gone too far? But, we can still try. God Bless You Oprah, Anatol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dear Amarnath, This is what is known as being a Spiritual Activist...!! I love it!!! This is what Mathew Fox was teaching in a masters and doctoral level program in Creation Spirituality, that he developed for over 23 years. It is now not in existence as it was, (it has changed names to Wisdom University and is under the direction of a new president, not Matthew any longer). We was studied the lives of many mystics, within many traditions and this is where I had the chance to learn of one's such as Hildegard of Bengin, and Gandhi and of course many modern day saints, mystics and social activists. Hildegard would be proud!! ONS S --- amarnath <anatol_zinc wrote: > > Dear Oprah, > > .... > > > However, the problems we face in the world are such > that we need a lot > more.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Can't wait to see what happens - I'm pinning all my hopes on Oprah now! I know who to blame if I fail. Thank you, Ravi Chivukula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
