Part Two - Putting
The Notion Of Unity Into Practice
Eliminating Warfare
- Thus, for
example, as a result of this fundamental change in our view of the world
beginning to take hold on this planet and its influence being felt in all
areas of human life, we could:
- create,
for as long as it is necessary, a democratically constituted One World
Government, based on a fair and equal federation of all existing Nation
States, in a suitable location (if only to bring some kind of order into
the current often perilous and chaotic state of affairs);
- establish
an International Court Of Law whose decisions, unlike those of the present
World Court, are binding in order to settle disputes (other than, as now,
by killing - a sure sign of our current immaturity);
- maintain
a world peace keeping force to guarantee that no despot, no matter how big
or powerful his individual nation, can or will ever again infringe upon
the territories of another nation, nor threaten her freedoms;
- allow
each nation state to keep its internal peacekeeping police for the time
being, i.e. until we have all become more spiritually aware and
self-regulated (see below);
- dismantle
all national armies and their weapons of offence and defence and transfer
the vast amounts of money thereby released - currently running worldwide
at a million dollars per minute! - to humanitarian purposes;
- and,
thus, feed the hungry, clothe the needy, house the poor, bring security to
the elderly, provide health care to all, create new jobs, remove the
causes of crime and even reduce Government itself because it would have
less to do.
A New Level Of Dignity
And Abundance
- And, into
this steadily growing, war-no-more-society in which basic survival with
dignity and equal opportunity is being assured for everyone, further
changes could be launched in order to improve the lot of the human race as
a whole and to stop the destruction of our environment. Thus, for example, we could:
- require
all manufacturers and corporations to put two figures on the price tag of
every item they put up for sale so that it shows not only how much the
buyer has to pay but also how much it cost them to produce;
- introduce
the principle of visibility into all financial dealings so that everyone
might know everything about everybody’s money situation, thereby bringing
about fairness, honesty and true for-the-good-of-all priority into the
conduct of human affairs;
- replace
all existing currencies with a new international monetary system, based on
an arrangement of credits and debits, that is wide open, totally visible,
immediately traceable and completely accountable;
- transfer ten
percent of all earnings each year to the WCS, this new Worldwide
Compensation System, from the incomes of those voluntarily requesting such
a deduction and use it to support all programmes and services of the
government, as voted on by the people;
- establish
a minimum and a maximum wage/salary with contributions above the upper
limit to a World Charitable Trust in the name of the contributor so that
all the world would know its benefactors;
- and,
thus, elevate all of society, not just the chosen few, to a new level of
dignity and abundance, while producing such widespread opportunity and
satisfaction for everyone that jealousy and social angers would virtually
disintegrate.
A More Peaceful And
Sustainable World
·
And, as more
and more people come to a place of love and concern for all humankind and a
level playing field is being created for each person and each nation, we could:
·
arrange for
all previous divisions between individuals, groups of people and countries to
become reconciled via initiatives and projects involving restoration,
reparation, reinvention and reunification;
·
encourage all
religions to examine their holy scriptures, retain that which is in keeping
with these new scientific/spiritual understandings and, therefore, become more
complete and at one with the each other;
·
allocate to
each nation an equal proportionate share of the worlds resources, instead of
allowing the most powerful and/or geographically fortunate to keep it for
themselves;
·
replace
private property, a mental construct that never brought any body long term
security and happiness, with the concept of stewardship;
·
and, thus,
create here on Earth - via the implementation of these initial ideas of change
- a more peaceful and sustainable world.
