More From M. Scott Peck

The united nations remains the sole universal international organisation designed to maintain global peace. and in this sense it has no alternative today. it is also apparent that it should adapt to the ever-changing world, which we discuss all the time: how it should evolve and at what rate, which components should undergo qualitative changes. of course, i will have to or rather should use this international platform to explain russia's vision of today's international relations, as well as the future of this organisation and the global community.
Russia Community Vision
If i do, i say so. that's the only way out of that. if there are three words that need to be used more in american journalism, commentary, politics, personal life... it's the magic words "i don't know." i mean, there are certain basic principles, like the dignity of the individual and the individual's responsibility, and certain basic economic principles, like how when something costs less, more of it will be consumed... there are certain things that i feel pretty confident about.
Mean Responsibility Magic
The universe bursts into existence from life, not the other way around as we have been taught. for each life there is a universe, its own universe. we generate spheres of reality, individual bubbles of existence. our planet is comprised of billions of spheres of reality, generated by each individual human and perhaps even by each animal.
Animal Reality Way
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
Peace is not just the absence of war, it is the active presence of a capacity for love and compassion, and reciprocity. it is an awareness that our lives are not to be lived simply for ourselves through expressing our individuality, but we confirm the purpose of our lives through the work of expressing our shared sense of community in a purposeful and practical way; to sustain our own lives we sustain the lives of others - in family, in a community of neighborhoods called a city, and in a community of nations called the world.
Peace War Compassion
It is possible to be honest every day. it is possible to live so that others can trust us-can trust our words, our motives, and our actions. our examples are vital to those who sit at our feet as well as those who watch from a distance. our own constant self-improvement will become as a polar star to those within our individual spheres of influence. they will remember longer what they saw in us than what they heard from us. our attitude, our point of view, can make a tremendous difference.

'star trek' is a 'wagon train' concept - built around characters who travel to worlds 'similar' to our own, and meet the action-adventure-drama which become our stories. their transportation is the cruiser 's.s. yorktown,' performing a well-defined and long-range exploration-science-security mission which helps create our format.
