Reforesting the earth is possible, given a human touch.
The Venus Project is a translation of all religions: The end of war, the end of poverty, the brotherhood of humanity. If that isn't spiritual, like I've said before, I don't know what is.

No part of the human community can live entirely on its own planet, with its own laws of motion and cut off from the rest of humanity.

Today the world has to accept what India has been saying about terrorism. India's dialogue on terrorism, the losses India has suffered due to terrorism, the losses suffered by humanity, the world is now acknowledging that.
Humanity is always looking for the next great world, the next frontier. I wonder how different this world would be if we were content with where we were.
The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
In the world we live in everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.
