Theos-Talk Archives (February 2008 Message tt00044)

What products do the Japanese make from the whales? Does anyone see 
how great it is that the whole world can see these terrible things 
and react from their hearts? It's as if we have come to a crossroads, 
and we can no longer carry on as usual, ignoring the evidence that 
our Kali Yuga winner-takes-all-use-it-or-lose-it attitudes about 
nature and life are about to change or else. Cooperation instead of 
competition, separateness and disintegration replaced by conscious 
unity. The dark before the dawn...
