You need to see your world beyond your present, single, earth-bound lifetime. Earth is not a way station for travelers to a place above the clouds called heaven. Neither are any of you simply intelligent dust destined to cease to be upon the death of your physical body. You and I and Sacred Mother Earth, and every living being on the planet, are all one unified being. We are each beings whose primary state is pure consciousness. That collective consciousness transcends space and transcends time.

In the web of beingness, everything is connected to everything else. Everything IS everything else. You have all heard the words “As you sow, so shall you reap.” How many of you listened when you heard those words? Do you think the Master speaks folly? Do you think the Master lies?

One cannot alter even a single strand in the web of life without altering the entire web. What you do to each other, you do to yourselves. What you do to the Earth, you do to yourselves.

You can run from your deeds, but you cannot hide. You can kill your body but you cannot die. You can check out of your mind and live as a sheep, but you cannot cease to be. You can deny your creative abilities, but you cannot stop creating. You can give away your power but you cannot give away your responsibility.

Daily you rape your own mother! Do you really believe there are no consequences to such actions? Whatever you do to the web of life, whatever you do to your Sacred Mother Earth, you do to yourselves. If you choose to continue sleepwalking, one day soon you shall wake up to find that you have been evicted from what’s left of the Garden of Eden.

Ecclesiastes 3:19

If you are fundamentalist Christian, you have almost certainly been falsely led you to believe that you are separate from nature. You are invited to examine Ecclesiastes 3:19 in the Christian Bible.

"For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity."

Genesis 9:28

The Early church leaders needed soldiers and servants to do their bidding so they ignored Ecclesiastes 3:19 and focused, instead, on the Genesis 1:28 passage which says:

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

Essentially, early church leaders used this passage as license to rape, pillage, and plunder anything and everything. Many present-day church leaders are still preaching a multitude of antiquated, hand-me-down beliefs. The story that humans are separate for nature is just one of many. These beliefs foster behavior that is highly dysfunctional and extremely destructive.

Genesis 9:1-20

Christians have a covenant with God to be stewards of the Earth. God made an agreement with Noah and with all his descendents to take care of all living things on Earth.

God's Covenant with You: Readers are directed the page titled, The God Factor and read the section describing how and why Christians have a covenant with God to be stewards of the Earth. Genesis 9:1-20 in the Christian Bible tells us that God made an agreement with Noah and with all his descendents to take care of all living things on Earth.

Stewardship: Eventually the realization will arrive that all the natural resources on the planet belong to all the people on the planet, regardless of where those resources are located. And that those worldly blessings belong to humans, not from the traditional perspective of dominate, control, destroy, and exploit for personal gain, but rather from the perspective of humans as stewards honoring and respecting that which is in their care; harvesting the bounty with gratitude and replenishing the productive capacity of that which was harvested.

What Is a Forest? Living in harmony with nature will require a significant shift in attitude regarding trees and an understanding of how human life on this planet is intimately tied to and dependent upon trees, upon forests and upon countless other life forms that most people are completely unaware of or simply take for granted.

A forest is far more than just a bunch of trees. Technically speaking, a forest as an ecosystem in which trees are the largest and most obvious part of an intimately interconnected, bio-social, mutual-life-support system consisting of thousands of different life forms and billions of individuals, all sharing a common home.

Trees are a major source of oxygen and a major consumer of carbon dioxide. Trees stabilize out fragile topsoil. Trees also have a significant impact on our climate. Over the course of its lifetime, a tree transfers literally thousands of gallons of water from the soil into the atmosphere. Trees are the homes of the vast majority of life forms on this planet. In the tropics, a single, full- sized tree can be the home of several hundred different life forms and thousands of individuals.

And, each forest is a mini-ecosystem in the grander scheme of life. You and I and everyone else are part of a similar, but much larger ecosystem called planet Earth”

Unity: Knowledge comes from studying what is known about your chosen field of endeavor. Wisdom comes when you begin to realize how the pieces of knowledge interact with each other. Eventually you realize that things that appeared to be completely separate are actually intimately related. You see the previously invisible connections like strands in a spider web. When you touch one strand, you move every other strand. Regardless of whether it's an act of creation or an act of destructions, the entire web vibrates in harmony with every touch, with every change applied to it.

The fairytale that "humans are separate from God" is another totally un-provable belief that is highly dysfunctional and extremely destructive. It contradicts all the available scientific evidence, it contradicts the Christian Bible, and it contradicts and thousands of years of Eastern religious traditions, and yet, with no evidence to support it, it is still taught by the Christian religious leaders as if it were a provable fact.

Two other minor details
that ought to get you shaking in your boots:

1) The vital-to-your-survival, and irreplaceable, tropical rain forests are disappearing at the rate of one acre per second.

2) pollution is changing the acidity of the oceans and endangering all ocean life forms. If they die, YOU DIE TOO!

The Bottom Line:

You say you don't have money, power or influence, so there's nothing of any significance that you can do. That may have been true in the past, but now you can be a significant partner in global transformation. Here's How:

	At TLC-Life-Center We are demonstrating our proposals by creating two corporations, one for-profit and one not-for-profit. They will function as partners.

The Foundation:

The for-profit business(Mari-Med Corporation) is based on The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure -- a structure in which corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment hold equal priority with making a profit.   Corporate focus is Hemp.
Hemp -- The Ignored Gold Mine.
                     http://www.Marijuana-Hemp-Money.com#gr

The Foundation:

We are creating a medical-marijuana, access-assistance foundation, The Mari-Med Foundation will provide funding and access to medical marijuana for those in need who cannot, by themselves, afford to pay for the products and services The foundation owns controlling interest in the Mari-Med Corporation. Most corporate profits go to the foundation ?

Do You Need a Job?

You are invited to examine our websites and determine if you'd like to join the development teams for either our non-profit foundation or our profit-oriented corporation. If you find the prospect of joining our team intriguing, Please contact us.
