ATTAINING WORLD PEACE BY PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLES OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES gathers together the teachings of this true revelation that can best help us create peace on our planet and save it from ecological destruction. This book offers a vision of how we can build on the incredible wisdom in MIRACLES to create new institutions in our societies that are compatible with a broader vision than the one which presently limits us to global gridlock. The ultimate hope is that these new institutions will allow us to create as much of the "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth" as possible, and thereby save the planet from impending doom of Global Warming if the solar ice caps melt and flood all our coast lines, causing indescribable global chaos. We seem unable to break up our collective mental log jam that is preventing us from taking the quantum leap forward that would allow us to work together in one, co-ordinated, global effort in order to keep from destroying our planet by environmental processes that we have already set in place by our over-use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Many renowned scientists think it is already too late to save the planet, but perhaps they are thinking about the way we operate the planet NOW, as if we are all in a continual struggle for survival of the fittest; but they are right on that account: We often act like quarreling children on a playground, even when our common survival is at stake; therefore, our prospects look dim to be able to reach a level of mature co-operation that will allow us to save our planet from almost certain doom unless we can reverse the effects of Global Warming in time. But don't count us out just yet. The objective of this book is to borrow high wisdom given to us from high beings in A COURSE IN MIRACLES, which wisdom should have the power to transcend these petty squabbles at a time when cooperation is needed for survival of the planet rather than survival of the fittest. It is wise to make the best use of that higher wisdom at this critical time in the history of our planet because we need to draw on everything at our disposal to prevent the unthinkable--destruction of our global civilization, to one degree or another. Most importantly, we lack the will--the moral will--to even seriously ADDRESS these problems, let alone propose to actually SOLVE them. MIRACLES is a spiritual book, which expounds the moral laws by which to direct our social behaviors. So we will spell out in this book how these moral principles would look if they were translated into political proposals. They are designed to offer a new vision that will at least bring us one step closer in our efforts to live our lives by the highest moral standards available to us, and hopefully thereby save our planet in the disappearing time that we have left to save it. So the stakes are high, and peace is in the balance, along with the survival of our planet for life as we know it. We simply don't have the option of facing the complete chaos that would overwhelm our planet if we do not take steps now to salvage our civilization. Let's join together and get this operation moving.
