God has given humanity the power of intelligence. It is in our
“Spiritual” DNA (the human mind) to enable us to comprehend our relationship with Him and to live healthy, happy, peaceful, and productive lives. Marjorie and I share with you the following five pillars upon which human survival rests, as a viable species. We have entrusted our lives, our faith, belief, and practice on these five pillars because they are the code to a “wholesome life” on the Earth.
FIVE PILLARS UPON WHICH HUMAN SURVIVAL RESTS AS A VIABLE SPECIES ON THE EARTH:
1. Worship God
2. Serve Humanity
3. Care for Family
4. Obey Authority
5. Manage Creation (the environment)

Empire (1776, …show more content…
The environment is a natural repository of air, water, fuel, food, land, and many of the cures for our physical ailments. Human beings have control over this natural repository to sustain the needs of all humanity, physical health, longevity, and happiness. These are our most poignant thoughts about how a universality of peace, hope and happiness can reign supreme in all of our lives, and throughout nations.
279. Education is the base from which to build stable nations hence education should rise above the principle pursuit of Academic Information Literacy (AIL) and help to shape the “worldview” of citizens and inspire a revolution of “new” thinking and happiness. All that is required is a “new” thinking, a “new” desire to cultivate a happier world with a focus on the future, and the survival of future generations.
Our “worldview” begins in the family, with the lessons that we learn as children in our homes, and in other foremost institutions such as schools, colleges, universities, church, temples, mosques and synagogues. Perhaps the greatest source of unhappiness in the world is a predicate of our “worldview.” Likewise, the greatest source of our happiness is a predicate of a “worldview” that recognizes the
“oneness” of …show more content…
284. The happiness of a nation is the “aggregate happiness” of its happy people, which are mutually inclusive. One might postulate that effective leadership, good governance, and hospitable ecological living conditions, are factors that contribute to a high national
“Happiness Index” (HI).
285. Nations measure Gross National Product (GNP) and Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) economic growth and outlook monthly, quarterly, and yearly as indicators of productivity and economic performance. A third global statistical measure, described as Gross Social Progress
(GSP) is required. This important measure is an essential barometer of a nation’s social and economic health, and happiness.
286. GNP and GDP does not provide a balanced perspective of a nation’s overall health, living standards, quality of life, “Poverty Index” (PI) or happiness of its people. These productivity measures (GNP and GDP), are derived from “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) capability do not have a direct relationship to the social and economic health and well-being of nations.
287. When researchers measure the “Happiness Index” (HI) of nations, they could highlight non–democratic leadership and
“Spiritual” DNA (the human mind) to enable us to comprehend our relationship with Him and to live healthy, happy, peaceful, and productive lives.
