· The Five Fallacies About Life that create crisis, violence, killing, and war are: Human beings are separate from each other. There is not enough of what human beings need to be happy. To get the stuff of which there is not enough, human beings must compete with each other. Some human beings are better than other human beings. It is appropriate for human beings to resolve sever differences created by all the other fallacies by killing each other. · You think you are being terrorized by other people, but in truth you are being terrorized by your beliefs. · These are what you must change if you are ever to realize your dream of a world living in peace, harmony, and happiness. · …you cannot change the conditions of anger, violence, loss, sorrow, and terror by political or economic means. · The purpose of this dialogue is to awaken people and to heal the world. · ….peace on your planet will only be achieved when you change beliefs. · The overriding desire of humankind is peace…your current beliefs do not render you very peaceful. · The heart is the bridge between the mind and the soul. · Organized religions by their nature exclude as many as they include. This would be non-problematic if religions were tolerant of those they exclude, yet far too often this is not the case. · Religions, which you count on to teach tolerance, have not learned how to practice it, and so, teach just the opposite. · One of the biggest problems in the world today is organized religion. · Yet how can you blame religion if religions believe in a God who does exactly the same thing? · It is your understanding of God that is the main problem. I will say again, so that you cannot miss it…the problem confronting humanity today is spiritual. · I am speaking of those religions that teach a doctrine of exclusivity. · …there are other problems facing humanity. There are problems of hunger, of poverty, of crime and corruption, of political turmoil and governmental abuse and corporate greed, and many other social problems as well. But all of these –all of these – are spiritual problems at their base. · You are trying to fix everything except what needs to be fixed. You are trying to change everything except what needs to be changed. · You are addressing everything but your most basic beliefs. Yet it is your most basic beliefs. Yet it is most basic beliefs that are creating the problem. · That is why the Five Steps to Peace have to do with God and the spirit…
