Purifying Our Environment

The mainstream media has recently been predicting dire
consequences for the world's environment if immediate steps are not
taken to curb pollution.
What steps are being considered by those in power?
From what I understand, the main "plan of action" would be to
grant unlimited powers to the United Nations, to enforce global
environmental laws.
What would this mean?
Who would be in charge?
Would we have any say in the election of those who would be in
control of our destiny?
It is becoming rather obvious that the more the power is
consolidated, the more rights the people lose. We don't want to
trade one problem for another......pollution for tyranny. From
the beginning of it's organization, the main goal of the United Nations
has been to form a One World Government. We need to carefully
observe the current situation in which our President is ignoring
environmental concerns and maybe even intentionally contributing to
them in order to further a more hidden agenda.. Perhaps "Problem
- Reaction - Solution" may be playing a role in this scenerio.
Here is a quote by George Bush senior, who of course is the father
of our current President. "We have before us the opportunity to
forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a
world where the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle, governs the
conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we
have a real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a
credible United Nations can use it's peacekeeping role to fulfill the
promise and vision of the U.N's founders."
I think it would be naive to suppose that that our current
president did not have the same aspirations or agenda as his
father. I feel it is possible that our president could be playing
his role as the "Problem" by contributing to the environmental
crisis. In the meantime the media is provoking the public into a
"Reaction" by telling us the world is on the verge of catastrophic
collapse, due to nuclear and environmental concerns, partially caused
by the ruler of our country. I believe we may be expected to
react by demanding that the United Nations take control of the
situation, which is the ultimate goal or "Solution" of those in
power. Some of you may think this is far fetched and some of you
may even think it's a good idea. However, it would seem prudent
to keep these ideas in the back of our minds as we watch events
unfold. This particular scenerio has been predicted and appears
to be playing itself out. Gorbachev has stated that the
environment will be the cornerstone (fear inducing factor) of the New
World Order.
At this point in time things appear particularly discouraging and
hopeless. However, nothing is ever hopeless. The following
is a quote from an article in the May 4, 1970 issue of The Christian
Science Monitor entitled "Higher Thinking, Better Living", by Joseph G
Harrison
"Man's attitude towards the environment, like his attitude towards
his fellowmen, stems from his own view of himself and of his
relationship to life's whole. Pollution is not something that
springs up automatically and unavoidably as an economy broadens or as
human activity increases or as population multiplies. Pollution
comes from the quality of men's thinking about themselves and from
their overall concept of what life does and should include."
It is becoming clear to many people that the further we move into
materialism, the more we separate ourselves from our true spiritual
nature. In this process of consuming ourselves with mainly
material objectives, we begin to lose our sense of connectedness to God
and along with this apparent loss of connection, we also lose our sense
of intuition, discernment, wisdom, caring and compassion, which have
their source in God.
We become more concerned about material gain. When our main
desire returns to spiritual gain then society's compulsion for
overconsumption and competition will fade away and more spiritual
humane interests will then become our focus.
Pollution of thought is at the root of pollution in all types of
media and entertainment. It is also at the root of polluted
morals and is definitely reflected in the pollution of our
environment. Instead of the environment surrounding us, we will
become increasingly aware that we embrace our environment in our
conciousness.
"If our purpose is to stuff our environment with more and better
matter instead of knowing purer and higher concepts, we shall be
disappointed. We might succeed in gaining materialistic goals,
but they would never unfold the atmosphere that constitutes man's
spiritual environment. Heaven's door would be closed to us until
we changed our objective to a spiritual one." Helen
Wood Bauman
So, let's not give our power and responsibility away to some
Think Tank because we feel there is no hope. The real hope for
the world lies within each and everyone of us. Attitudes and
values can and do change but first we have to acknowledge that this is
possible. The Bible tell us that with God all things are possible. Then
shouldn't this be the source we all turn to for lasting solutions?
We all have different concepts of what God is to us. The
point isn't to try and define God but to "know" that we are all
connected to this wise loving intelligence and it is here where we have
our access to right ideas that will heal the world.
