Real Work

My Friends,

I know it's fun to talk about theory and ideas that we can never prove true or false in this physical reality, but the time comes in the lives of all seekers where practical work and progress must be made. Such work must be demonstrated in the eyes of all, believers and non-believers.

The question I asked yesterday was directed to make us think along practical lines of real world work, yet none dared venture an answer. Are we afraid of leaving our comfort zone here?

My prime purpose here is not to entertain, but to stimulate you to the initiation of real projects and ideas as well as teach. It is true that I may entertain at times but there comes a time for serious thought about the issues of the day and how we can do our part in making the world a better place for future generations.

Let me repeat Yesterday's question, "The question to consider today is what can a nation and its people do to befriend the people of a potentially dangerous nation such as Russia or China? How can we make friends with the people themselves and eventually generate a feeling among the general populace that war with us should not happen because we are friends?

"Is the Internet likely to play an important role? How?"

Hint: Some things that have been done is exchange student programs, peace quilts, The Peace Corps, charitable work etc. Should these be expanded upon and are there new directions we can take to befriend the ordinary people of other nations?

I am posting separately part one of my treatise on Project Peace and Goodwill - a concrete plan of action.

It may be true that we have little power at present to implement this ambitions plan or even to promote the Twelve Principles of Synthesis, but do not be discouraged. We are not expected to do all these things that have been presented in a short period. What is expected is that a sure foundation in the Molecular Order, Synthesis and world peace are laid within the next thirty years. But even to accomplish this someone must begin.

If not now, when? If not us, who?
