As I see it, humankind is at a crossroads. Religion and politics have failed. Corporatism, imperialism, nationalism, communism and a whole smorgasbord of 'isms' have separated us rather than united us. Modernization has failed to reduce violence in the human race. In reality, 'we' can do nothing; only 'I' can do anything. Humanity comprises 6.5 billion 'I's' -- most are responsible for war to one degree or another. I may influence others with my actions, but I control only one person ... me! Stopping war begins with changing 'me.' ... Getting the mind in a quiet state so that I may achieve personal liberation is something I do every day to help eliminate violence from my personal life...
