1. We have been given, with this planet, everything we need to have a heaven on Earth.

We have all the resources to ensure no one goes hungry, no sick person is untreated, no one is without a home, no one has to go without the means and opportunities to live their lives as they choose.

Yet we find we are in thrall to a relatively few greedy people who will do anything, including killing innocent people, to take more from us and take more for themselves.

If you like, think of it as a test from God. We have the tools, we have the know-how (or at least the means to develop the know-how), we have good-hearted, capable people.

Yet we are failing this test. We are failing because of the few who put themselves above the rest of us. Just a few hundred people have more wealth and power than the bottom 50% combined. And they are hungry, ravenous, for more. If getting more means destroying others, even destroying Creation itself, they will keep grasping for more, more, more.

We are making a hell on Earth. By choice.

It does not have to be this way.
