OUR GREAT CHALLENGE

Greedy materialistic dreams are often promoted by our contemporary education, television and its myriad commercials, many of our movies, and even our fascination with competitive sports and winning wars.

Our wish dreams are reflections of what we want, what we think we want, and they create a path to act on our wishes in the physical world.

Our challenge now must be to help our children dream of bringing change to this planet and to create a bright beautiful and sustainable future for the children of all species.

Unfortunately our society tends to teach our children to dream of deriving happiness and success from acquisitions of money, power and control and domination over others and gratification of the senses.

The sad fact is that our society’s devotion to war and material wealth benefit a very small percentage of our species, and we are just one of 30 million or more species inhabiting our biosphere.

If these dreams are allowed to create the future; our children and their children, will suffer the consequences of vanishing forests, polluted atmosphere, poisoned water, global warming, and a progressive loss of our biodiversity.

These dreams may eventually produce a nightmare, with a big dark empty hole at the end.

We must remember that if we teach our children to focus their dreams and desires on the acquisition of wealth, power over others, and other sensational and materialistic desires this will change the future.

Ultimately it will be our children’s dreams and fantasies that create the future for our planet.

So what is the "fix"?

Babies enjoy an intimacy with everything they touch; mother, dad, other people, animals both stuffed and real, food, flowers, their home, and also the outer world.

Ecstasy comes easily to children through acts of love and kindness.

Ultimately our children learn, not from what we say, but uncannily they look into our hearts and souls and sense who we really are.

All they desire is to be loved, and they must trust us to keep the world a joyful place in which they can thrive.
