The
Light Millennium
A
Public Interest multi-media and alternative global platform...
Summer-2002,
9th Issue
We
are honored to present the Summer-2002, #9th Issue of
The Light Millennium.
This issue is dedicated to distinguished author
and religious scholar Karen ARMSTRONG for her inspiring
work in helping us to understand world religions and to
the Arms Trade Resource Center at the World Policy Institute for its great mission in the struggle
against arms and nuclear arms proliferation.
In
this issue, there is a dual focus on spirituality, whether
within organized religion or not, along with the pressing
concerns of the persisting and growing nuclear threat.
We wanted to bring out the unifying principles
between spirituality and the efforts towards global peace
and justice.
We
hoped to be open minded and inclusive of all endeavors
towards a one-world mentality, as we urgently perceive
a need to unite, and to see the common threads between
all groups, in order to rise above our conflicts and the
unparalleled danger unleashed by our harnessing of the
atom.
We
have come to the conclusion that the qualities that impel
us to transcend our human nature, and to solve our social
and political problems, to study science and to create
artwork, are all from the same source.
Throughout
time we have attempted to reach beyond our limits through
imagination, creativity, exploration, and compassion. These are the unifying principles beneath all
earnestly undertaken human endeavors.
As Ms. Armstrong says, believing in God is in a
way a creative act. Likewise the need for creativity in solving
our political problems never seemed more urgent than right
now, as we struggle to evolve into a mature, responsible,
global social organization. Perhaps this is part of our new faith...
The
Light Millennium is a Public Interest multi-media and
alternative global platform based in New York. Welcome to the Summer-2002 Issue: http://www.lightmillennium.org
