Science is about what we ‘think’ we know.
Religion is about what we ‘believe’ we know.
Philosophy is about what we do not know,
as well as the questioning of what we think and believe we know.
Art and technology are about how we express what we know
and what we are capable off.
Language and mathematics are about how we communicate
what we think and believe amongst ourselves.
Law is how we control, regulate, and discipline our dark sides.
Government and politics are about how we divide and corrupt ourselves.
Culture is socially learned patterns of behaviour.
In human terms, you can say culture is the manmade part of our environment. In general, it refers to human activity.
History is about what we believe, we, and others before us, had done.
Economics is about human ecology.
We must then always to bear in mind
That we do not own the earth and her gifts.
The earth is our mother.
What befalls the earth befalls all her children.
Everything we think we know, believe, and do
is based on lineal logic and tainted emotions.
However, lineal logic is an extremely poor model of cause and effect.
Therefore, our lives generate paradoxes that pure logic cannot tolerate.
Logic can often be reversed, but then the effect precedes the cause.
This generalisation has been an obstacle for
the psychological and biological sciences
since the time of Plato and Aristotle.
Atheists, as a rule, only rely on lineal logic,
and therefore never see the whole dynamic picture,
but always only the static version of reality.
Rationality and lineal logic are the Gods of the atheists.
They can never understand insight and inspiration.
Real love, not lust, is not an emotion.
Real love is a force, a power, for the good in us.
Our only hope for redemption is pure love.
Sex, without real love, degrade and soil us.
Love this earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat.
Hold in your mind the memory of the land,
as it was when we received it.
Preserve the earth for all children, and love it, as God loves us.
We are all part of the earth.
This earth is precious to us.
Finally, one thing we should always know and believe –
there is only one God.
