Dear GENI
Friend,
World Peace
— it's something we all desire, yet oftentimes
seems so far away. The headlines and TV
news stories are constantly reminding us of the strife
in so many places.
The GENI
Initiative is about peace on the planet. First, we
offer the perspective from outer space — by astronaut
Russell Schweickart:
Beyond
Borders: When you go around
the Earth in an hour and a half, you begin to recognize
that your identity is with the whole thing. And
that makes a change.
You
look down there and you can't imagine how many
borders and boundaries you cross, again and again
and again, and you don't even see them. There
you are — hundreds of people in the Middle
East killing each other over some imaginary line
that you're not even aware of, that you can't
see. And from where you see it, the thing is a
whole, and it's so beautiful. You wish you could
take one person from each side of the various
conflicts, and say, Look. Look
at it from this perspective. Look at the that.
What's important?
We are
blessed that one of our Honorary Advisors is Robert
Muller, Assistant Secretary General of the United
Nations (retired), who served the UN for 40 years.
He's a warrior for peace and has supported GENI for
many years. Several excerpts from his new book 2000
Ideas are attached — where he has strongly
endorsed this strategy for peace and sustainable development.
Please
use these statements in your conversations with others.
Many people hold Robert Muller in the highest esteem
and will listen to his recommendations. Your continued
support and speaking makes this idea real in the world.
Thank you for helping us make peace on the planet.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen
President
p.s. Robert
Muller also forwarded the excerpt from "Visions
of a Better World", where UK Scientist Neil Shendge
states his endoresment for the global grid using renewable
resources. Where could you publish these and your
own vision for a better world?
