	All things swim and glitter. Our life is not so much threatened as our perception We must never cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy The Balance of Power in the World is Changing Fast It is Always Your Next Thought that Creates Your Reality. Always The United Nations is the closest we've got to a world government Attitudes Take a Generation to Change Unlike our great-grandparents who passed the time, we spend it You Are Not Discovering Yourself, But Creating Yourself Anew. Seek Not Who You Are but You Want to Be Nothing occurs in your life which is not first a thought. Thoughts are like magnets drawing effects to you. Thoughts may not always be obvious and clearly causative - they are usually far more subtle than that You Are What You Think If we gained a non-material philosophy that found meaning where it is genuinely located -- in families, friends, the passage of seasons, in nature, in simple ceremonies and rituals, in curiosity, generosity, compassion, and service to others, in a decent independence and privacy -- then we would be truly self-sufficient If You've prepared the Feast and are Consuming it without Love, You are missing the most Extraordinary part of the Experience Gaza Is the Story of a Modern Day Siege You are what you Experience, You Experience what you Express, You Express what You have to Express, You Have what You Grant Yourself When Life is Lived from a Standpoint of Damage Control or Optimum Advantage, the Opportunity is Lost The Master is Eminently Predictable It is Your Judgements that Keep You from Joy, and Your Expectations which Make You Unhappy How Small of All That Human Hearts Endure, That Part Which Laws or Kings Can Cause or Cure Humans have such a need to break everything down into right and wrong, it never occurs to them that a thing could be both right and wrong Embarrassment is the response of a person who still has an ego investment in how others see him Relationships are Opportunities not Obligations Life is a Process of Creation, Not a Process of Re-enactment Masters are Those Who Choose a Life Not a Living Our World Is a Fragmented World, Where We Seek a Cause for Every Effect, and Seldom Stop to Wonder The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. But we have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift Where is the life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust You Don't Need a Reason for Anything, Just Be Cause, Be the Cause of Your Experience Your Life Work is a Statement of Who You Are, If It is Not then Why Are You Doing It Simple Gratitude, Key to a More Positive Outlook War Does Not Give You a 'Bang for Your Buck' Life is Bigger, Bigger than You Until an Idea is Experienced, All You Have is Speculation Time that has Passed does not Exist, All that Remains is a Memory Examine your values one by one. Hold them up to the light of public scrutiny. If you can tell the world who you are and what to believe without breaking stride or hesitating, you are happy with yourself. There is no reason to continue much further in this dialogue with Me, because you have created a Self - and a life for the Self - which needs no improvement. You have reached perfection. Put the book down There is neither good or bad, but thinking makes is so There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy Twaddle, rubbish, and gossip is what people want, not action.. . . The secret of life is to chatter freely about all one wishes to do and how one is always being prevented—and then do nothing External Reality Reflects Back to You Your Inner State What Matters Is Not So Much What You Say or Believe but What Your Actions Reveal As Important How You React to People and Situations Is the Best Indicator of Who You Are Religion Is More Than a Set of Beliefs, It Is a Way Of Thinking and Living We Present Conjecture As Truth. It Is in Our Nature. Perhaps, It Is An Inability to Think Critically Make Your Goal an Activity Joy Does Not Come From What You Do, It's a Reaction From Within to What You Do Whether it's Personal or Business what People want is Simple. They want You to Care Non-think Something For A While Where There's Love People Take Care Of Each Other To Overcome an Ideology You Have To Win the Hearts and Minds of People What We Need to Strive for Is a Sense of Human Sharing, Not Some Abstract Conceptual Idea Whatever Your Version of God Is, and Whoever Your Neighbour Might Be, Love, of God and One’s Neighbour, Are the Only Absolutes Truth and Trust are Created by How Something is Perceived In Negotiations How Much Reason and How Much Persuasion Find a Voice You Can Trust ‘Why so Seeming Fast, but Deadly Slow?’ An Inclination of the Heart We Live in Both Joy and Melancholy Hope or Despair Create Meaningful Partnerships Idols of the Mind

	Prosperity

	A Country is as Prosperous as its Energy Resources. Energy Is the Major Issue Countries Will Have To Deal with The concentration of wealth, not the sharing of it, is the largest single factor in the creation of the world's most persistent and striking social and political dilemmas We Need to Turn off the Machines When We've Produced Enough Food Is a Policy Issue, Not an Economic One, to Governments Capital Moves Easily across National Boundaries, Money Will Go to Where It Can Earn the Most,Countries Cannot Go Back to Protected Economies Global Governance Is More A Function of International Corporations and Than Governments confused global food market .. rising food prices .. poor hit hardest .. easiest and quickest solution is to open up the markets .. There Is a Fundamental Dichotomy between Safeguarding the Economy and Saving the Environment It is not about what you create for yourself, it is what you leave behind that defines success Mother to her son, "Why are you kissing me, Go kiss the world." Imagination is everything. If we can imagine a future, we can create it, if we can create that future, others will live in it. That is the essence of success Complex Negotiations between Many Countries to Reduce Carbon Emissions, Which Impact on the Growth of These Countries, Is Unlikely to Make a Significant Impact Helping Farmers in Africa Will Help the Rest of the World The Era of Cheap Food and Cheap Fuel Is Over Why Do Developing Countries Find It so Hard to Reduce Poverty? Kids Now Produce, Consume and Share What They Listen to and Watch How Long Before A World Government The real wealth in a country is to do with how much it produces, not in paper money, but in tangible goods and services that other countries want Society Is Complex and Interconnected Capitalism Needs to Be Re-Moralised The new motto for businesses in the 21st century, "Don't just not be evil, Be Good" What Impacts Most on People, You and I, Is the Price of Food and Fuel Women Need to Be Heard in Society, They Need Their Dignity, Their Freedom to Express What They Believe. They Need to Contribute Corporations Donate Company Shares Not Money, It's Easier Do Animals Compete or Co-operate? The Era of Cheap Food May Be Over How Much Willpower Does the World Have?

	Responsibility

	We must teach our young people the ability to understand more than we do. They need to go beyond where we are. Their education should be on understanding, not facts. On thinking clearly not following sensations. On exploring rather than accepting what is given. This way they will go beyond our notions of what is right and wrong We are seduced by imaginings, by flights of fantasy, into worlds we have made for ourselves where nature does not exist How do you change you? If there's no action before 2012, that's too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment Share a Bath Information Pollution Causes Environmental Pollution Idealism Is Not Enough to Solve Problems More Chemical Fertiliser Needed, More Environmental Pollution Caused We Need Government Regulations to Deal with Global Warming The World Faces an Energy Requirement That Will Grow As Developing Nations Consume More Energy. We Need to Innovate and Educate In order to transform our cities, we need to move from ego-culture to eco-culture Climate Change Needs a Lifestyle Change TV is the Opium of the Masses Corporations Have To First Satisfy Their Shareholders Interests Agriculture Is Now Closely Linked with Environmental Issues If we believe what we see on television, or read in the papers, it still doesn't change our behaviour. Why should it? We don't change our behaviour much to improve our own lives in the next few months, so why should we change our behaviour to improve other people's lives in the next five or 10 years I'm optimistic because I believe we have the capacity at moments of great challenge to set aside the causes of distraction, and to rise to a challenge that history is presenting to us Bees work for man; and yet they never bruise Their master’s flower, but leave it, having done, As fair as ever, and as fit to use; So both the flower doth stay, and honey run Power To Shape the World Is Now Found in Many Hands and in Many Places Chase Away the Demons, and They Will Take the Angels with Them We Have Power Beyond Our Wisdom Changing Habits Are Not Enough, We Need to Change Lifestyles We All Jump to Conclusions and We Do it Every Day No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it It's Making It Happen That Counts “This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect, persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) If You Have a Message, Put It in a Picture We Need Technology to Deal with Global Change Sadness Does Not Require a Prescription Right or Wrong? Before You do It, What's the Effect on the Community? The Arctic Ice Cap is Melting Information That Entertains Is Shared Free-Market Capitalism Is Not an Answer If It Feels Right It Probably Is Right Ideology is an Imaginary Relationship to a Real Situation As the World Gets More Complicated We Need More Plain Speaking We Must Always Believe We Can Write Our Own Destiny There Are Things We Should Do and Things We Want to Do. Very Often, the Things We Want to Do Get in the Way of Things We Should Do There's a Problem up Ahead but We Don't Change Anything As the World Warms up, Nature Might Adopt a 'Shock and Awe' Tactic The Cellphone Is Mightier Than the Pen If We Value Our Environment - If Enough People Are Concerned about Climate Change - Capitalism Can Provide Solutions There's Nothing Wrong with Corporations That Exist to Make Profits, but There's Something Dangerous about Expecting Them to Do the Right Thing Tell a Story, Appeal to Emotions Genuine Progress There Is a Social Cost to Carbon Emissions We Have To Believe We Can Make Choices Quality or Junk, Choose One Whatever We Attend to, We Go Some Way Towards Bringing It about Measure the Right Things Promote Energy Efficiency The Earth Is Warming Stay Clear of Idols of the Mind Spiritual Beliefs Are Generally Not Verified by Direct Experience To Change People's Behaviour Bring Experience Closer The More Meta You Do, the Less Socially Useful You Are Meanings and Relationships Are True Only within a Certain Social Context Our Language Shows Us Our Reality
