T. Colin Campbell (vegan): “We learned that nutrition is a major factor in keeping us healthy, and by nutrition I mean consuming whole plant-based foods and eliminating, as much as possible, animal based foods: dairy, eggs and meat. And one of the outcomes of this idea is not only that do we restore health, but now we’re learning that this can have a major effect on the environment.” Dr. Ru

Dr. Michael Greger (vegan): “According to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, the three greatest threats facing humanity: Number one is the global food crisis; climate change is number two; and pandemic influenza is number three - all of which have to do with our food choices.” “What has been happening in recent years to trigger these kinds of unprecedented changes in both swine

Dr. Noam Mohr (vegan): “The UN has estimated that 18% of our emissions causing global warming today are due to animal agriculture. For a comparison, as Mr. Holm pointed out, all the cars, and trucks and SUVs and planes and trains and other modes of transportation in the world together amount to about 12%. So, animal agriculture alone is a far bigger chunk of the problem than all those sources, imp

Mr. Jens Holm (Vegetarian): “We all know about driving less cars, stop flying with the airplanes, taking the train instead, and so on. But I think also we can change the climate by stop eating meat. The meat production is actually responsible for more than all the emissions together from the world’s entire transport sector. That means that meat production emits more gases than the cars, than the t

Dr. Schneider (m): “So what has the IPCC concluded? Well, they said that the Earth’s warmed up 0.75° C, 1.4° Fahrenheit, since 1850. This is not speculative. This is established beyond doubt. And that’s consistent not just with the thermometers of the world but the rising sea levels as the oceans warm, the melting glaciers, and the fact that plants are blooming earlier a couple of weeks in the spr

First, we will learn about the current climate change situation from renowned scientists, researchers, and world leaders. They will share the latest scientific facts, many of which are not widely discussed. They will also suggest solutions to global warming which are both practical and easily implemented. Finally, we will take a look at what our world might look like after these solutions are impl

We will now continue with a selection of the advanced teaching and wisdom of Master Morya, from the book “Agni Yoga,” from 1929, as recorded by His disciples Helena and Nicholas Roerich. “Hear, thou who darest! In the deep of night, I shall draw near to bless thy sandals. I shall strew thy pillow with sparks of light, for the sleep of the daring one is as the melting away of a lute, when the seven

The esteemed mystical and philosophical writers Nicholas and Helena Roerich are two of the most influential spiritual thought leaders from Russia, recognized for founding the doctrine of Agni Yoga, also known as Living Ethics.

Today, we will continue with “Selections from The Sword of Wisdom for Thoroughly Ascertaining Reality by Mipham Rinpoche (vegetarian) – Verses 1 to 68.” Verses 35 to 68 “From a genuine perspective, all appearances Are now, and always have been, the same; And since a pure mind sees only purity, Their nature remains entirely pure. Real functioning things dependently arise, And what is unreal is depe

“The first trial consists in obtaining a clearer comprehension of the corporeal attributes of what seem to be lifeless things, then of plants, of animals, of human beings (in the way that the average person possesses them). This does not mean what is commonly called ‘scientific knowledge’; with that it has no connection, but it has to do with intuition. What usually occurs is that the Initiate dis

“The Shaikh (may Allah be well pleased with him, and grant him contentment) said: When you are in a particular condition, do not seek to exchange it for another, whether higher or lower. If you are at the gate of the King’s palace, therefore, do not seek admittance to the palace itself until you are obliged to enter, under compulsion and not of your own accord. By compulsion I mean a stern, insist

al-Ghawth al-A’zam Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī was born in the year 1078 in the Persian province of Gilan (present-day Iran), to parents who were blessed with direct lineage to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Three days prior to his death, Skovoroda went to stay with one of his closest friends. Each day he left the house, and it was discovered that he was digging his own burial place beneath a tree. On the third day, he announced that his time had come, and he simply lay down and passed away. At his request, his epitaph said, “The world tried to capture me, but didn’t succeed.” In recognition of his wo

Let us now continue to read a selection from Master Beinsa Douno’s book “The Law of Nutrition,” from the chapter “Food – Way of Life.” “Now we have abandoned that true life and take away a life, which is not God’s will: we take an animal, without it being willing, and take away its life. We don’t ask it for its consent. It wants to live, but we eat it. This is not a way to live. The great m

The spiritual lineage of the Universal White Brotherhood was founded by Master Beinsa Douno, also known as Peter Konstantinov Deunov, of Bulgaria, in 1897.

“Don’t make meditation a kind of work; it’s just a relaxation time. Tell your mind it has nothing to do, and to just sit there relaxing. And if you cannot sit too long, you can lie down and rest. Make it pleasant.” “Make it pleasant at first. Don’t make it too hard for the mind, because he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like working. And if you’re too serious, the mind will rebel, thinking, ‘I don’t
