We humans have two things going for us, we can learn, and we know in our hearts what is right. With these two abilities we can become caring, giving, and loving, but we have to make ourselves do it.
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 said, in his insightful book, Critical Path, forty years ago, "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 the creativity inside, and to create solutions to the worlds problems. There are books written about political and historical awareness, and there are books written about bettering oneself. Combining these two types of books enables the reader to unlock inner creativity.
