WHAT WE MUST DO
PART TWELVE
The solutions proposed in this document outline a clear plan of
how to create the conditions for a
sustainable global civilization in which people are at peace
with each other and life has meaning
and dignity, humankind acts as stewards of the planet and
respects the equilibrium of life, and
the born safeguard the resources of the unborn so that life can
continue to thrive and wellbeing
can grow.
God did not start with life; he started with the conditions for
life. He did not create man and left
him dangling in space. He created the world and man evolved in
time from the tiniest of
lifeforms. God started with the large things and worked his way
down to the small things.
We too must start with the large things and work our way down to
the small things. We must
start by creating the conditions for a sustainable mode of life
and the infrastructure for an
inclusive global civilization. And once we have done that we can
begin to deal with the details
and bring our civilization to a state of perfect equilibrium
with planet Earth.
The decisions we make in the process must be based on an
internal compass that is pointed to
reason in the north, to faith in the south, to love in the east,
and to truth in the west.
