I have been following the many elections across the globe. The more I think about India’s election, the more I like it. As Prime Minister, Modi can and I think will, become a great leader, not only in India, but eventually with great respect globally. The elections in the Ukraine are encouraging, too; the election…
Read MoreOn our ultimate journey toward Heaven on Earth we must learn to shun selfishness. But the reality is—like most things in life—the difference between selfishness and self-preservation is a matter of degree, rather than some absolute. We are each made of mind, body and a “little piece of God” (what others might call a soul). Taking care…
Read MoreWhat is prosperity and why can it be good? I believe global prosperity is where all have the basics of life, including food, shelter, education, and healthcare. We may not—and probably won’t—have everything we want, as that is limitless and basically unattainable. This ideal state—Heaven on Earth element—is filled with gratitude for our means, rather than…

Read MoreThe role of each of us and all of us is to take an honest, deep, continuing look within and without to all, for the betterment of ourselves, others, and the world. This individual feat is not a one-time event. It is part of our life journey, hopefully and prayerfully, eventually resulting in personal wisdom,…
Read MoreWe must transform the world from people hurting people to people helping people, whether one is speaking of nations, corporations, other human entities or individuals. There is an innate sense within us that seeks to help. Let’s see that part of us reign—one by one, million by million, billion by billion. There is no question…
Read MoreI find myself thinking really big. We are in The Innovation Age and we must innovate in all human activities, including government, education, religions, business, and science. At the same time we must allow our spiritual leaders and others to help everyone, first, to improve our behavior (what we say and do), second, to work…
Read MoreLife can and is a struggle, but overcoming adversity – especially over time – can lead us to rewards that just wouldn’t be there if we didn’t earn them.
