Erich Fromm in his renowned book, The Art of Loving, fifty years ago said, "This world is held together by love, it couldn't last one day without love." He was worried then that the breakdown of love was endangering the survival of the planet. Today it is dire. Buckminister Fuller in his insightful book, Critical Path, forty years ago, said we have the technology to save the world, but not the creativity. He said our technology is three levels ahead of mankind, meaning there are two levels of technology we haven't employed yet, because of our lack of creativity, which could be used to save the world.
The creativity needed is going to come from a new consciousness that is erupting throughout the world now. This consciousness is attained through a combination of gaining awareness and understanding, and applying self discipline and moral restraint. With this combination the individual in us all will view the world with heart and tap into the hidden creativity locked inside. The eruption of creative and loving solutions that will follow will overwhelm and replace the hateful, politically attained solutions, like war and prisons, that are destroying the world.
The spiritandpoverty.com BOOKSTORE is designed to inspire the individual to unleash creativity inside and create solutions to the world’s problems.
