OPENING QUOTES
Peter Russell:
"As Ervin Laszlo makes clear, the global crisis we are facing is, at its root, a crisis of culture and consciousness. Certainly, we need to do everything in our power to curb population growth and reduce the impact of our technology on the planet's ecosystems. But we also need to ask why it is that one species out of millions - a species that considers itself the most intelligent on this planet - can behave in ways that are clearly not in its long-term self-interest. To realize that we are threatening our own survival, and that of many other species, and then continue with the very activities that are causing the problem, is nothing short of insane."
Karan Singh:
"As global citizens committed to human survival and welfare, we must structure a worldwide program of education - for children and adults alike - that will open their eyes to the reality of the dawning global age and their hearts to the cries of the oppressed and the suffering. There is no time to be lost, because, along with the emergence of a global society, the sinister forces of fundamentalism and fanaticism"are active as well."
Thomas Berry:
"I summarize my own thinking in a single sentence: 'The historical mission our own times is to reinvent the human at the species level, with critical reflection, within the community of life systems, in a time-developmental context by means of story and shared dream experience.'"
Robert Muller:
"In 50 years of world service with the United Nations, I have come to [these imperatives for] the birth of planetary consciousness"
1. To declare a state of emergency [on] the Earth."
