    Sep 30 2012: I agree with just about everything you say, except: we cannot wait for the spiritual leaders to take control ( actually I do beleive that spiritual leadership is NOT about control...) we need to realise that each and everyone of us is personally responsible for his or her thoughts, actions and emotions.....that is where we need to head - enjoying ourselves on the journey does help :-)
  • A comment on Conversation: Why not pay doctors after getting rid of disease...?

    Sep 29 2012: a good start to discuss this economic burden!
    I understand, that in the old China a doctors was paid when his patients stayed well. wo he was interested in their life style, nutrition, family issues, home environment etc - he was actually more a health teacher.
    in our economic environment there are not many people interested in us being healthy. Doctors, pharma industry, drugstores, health insurance companies all get rich when we are of poor health ;-)
    self responsibiity is the answer, i'm sure....

    Sep 29 2012: great question! thanks Hassan.
    I agaree with Kuldip Singh that the world is chaning for the better - and it is doing so rapidly. We do not notice it when we read, listen to or watch the news. We do notice it however, when we talk to individuals, when we realise how many people are becoming aware of the challenge and its solutions!
    when, 25 - 30 years ago, I talked about the then called 'new age' ideas, people rolled their eyes, saying oh, it's Christina again with her far out phantasy ideas. these ideas about the importance of self- responsibility, meditation, spiritual awarness are becoming main stream in many areas.
    I see the earth quakes, floods, forest fires, storms etc as a way of cleansing by Earth; it is like when humans have hives or a fever to bring awareness thata something is amiss, as well as a cleansing of the body/earth.
    and look at al the corporations whose unsavoury acts are being uncovered - we are on aa good path - adn we do need to expand until we reach the critical mass. Everyone counts!
