ADVICE GIVEN TO WORLD GOVERNMENTS AFTER THE WORLD WAR which ended in 1945

Extracts from instructions given to humanity by a Tibetan master after the last world war: (1939-1945)
I omitted out dated references to specific countries.

Certain major and spiritual premises should lie back of all efforts to formulate the new world order.
Let me state some of them:

1.
The new world order must meet the immediate need and not be an attempt to satisfy some distant, idealistic vision.
2.
The new world order will be founded on the recognition that all men are equal in origin and goal but that all are at differing stages of evolutionary development;
that personal integrity, intelligence, vision and experience, plus a marked goodwill, should indicate leadership.
The domination of the proletariat over the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, 
or the domination of an entrenched aristocracy over the proletariat and middle classes, must disappear.
The control of labor by capital or the control of capital by labor must also go.
3.
In the new world order, the governing body in any nation should be composed of those who work for the greatest good of the greatest number and who at the same time offer opportunity to all,
seeing to it that the individual is left free.
Today the men of vision are achieving recognition, thus making possible a right choice of leaders.
It was not possible until this century.
4.
The new world order will be founded on an active sense of responsibility.
The rule will be "all for one and one for all."
This attitude among nations will have to be developed.

5.
The new world order will not impose a uniform type of government,
a synthetic religion and a system of standardization upon the nations.
The sovereign rights of each nation will be recognized and its peculiar genius,
individual trends and racial qualities will be permitted full expression.
In one particular only should there be an attempt to produce unity,
and that will be in the field of education.
6.
The new world order will recognize that the produce of the world,
the natural resources of the planet and its riches,
belong to no one nation but should be shared by all.
There will be no nations under the category "haves" and others under the opposite category.
A fair and properly organized distribution of the wheat, the oil and the mineral wealth of the world will be developed, based upon the needs of each nation,
upon its own internal resources and the requirements of its people.
All this will be worked out in relation to the whole.
7.
In the preparatory period for the new world order there will be a steady and regulated disarmament.
It will not be optional.
No nation will be permitted to produce and organize any equipment for destructive purposes or to infringe the security of any other nation.
One of the first tasks of any future peace conference will be to regulate this matter and gradually see to the disarming of the nations.

These are the simple and general premises upon which the new world order must begin its work.
These preliminary stages must be kept fluid and experimental;
the vision of possibility must never be lost, and
the foundations must be preserved inviolate, but

the intermediate processes and the experimentations must be carried forward by men who,
having the best interests of the whole at heart,
can change the detail of organization
whilst preserving the life of the organism.

FREE EDUCATION ON A ZERO BUDGET REQUIRES INTELLEGENT DEBATE

Students should not only ask for free education.
They should debate on the

Quality of education they need,

 Teachers training and

Where the money going to come from to teachers wages, training and establishment upkeep.

Remember one can not build a social structure on a zero budget.


Remember also a zero budget from the mouth of a politician means that the country is already deep in debt.

Money for education needs to be creamed from somewhere in our society in a way that it does not infringe on existing medical and social budgets or increase stress among the poor and elderly etc.

2015, A YEAR OF JUDGEMENT


During 2015, the eyes of the world will be on African governments.  The world will analyze statistical data relating to crime, unemployment health care, corruption and land use.

They will measure poverty, unemployment, and the gap between rich and poor.

Above all, they will analyze government spending and look at why and how donations and opportunities to make poverty history by 2015 failed.

Governments will be classified, not only by their ability to create and maintain good human relations for all citizens and their ability to handle conflict situations but also on their ability to be global partners.

Aid and donations to third world nations will not continue as before.   Governments who failed will be by passed and those who attempted to create peace and prosperity will be further boosted.

2015 will be a year of judgement for all national rulers.   

Which rulers will weigh too light?

Which leaders will be classed as incompetent fools?

The earth crossed the line of sustainability!


At this time, when we are nearing the 2015 initiative to make poverty history,
the increasing unsustainable growth of humanity is squashing that dream of ever being realized.


Seventy five percent of the human population is struggling to survive.

There simply are not enough resources to continue feeding the world at the current poverty crises rate;
Let alone when poverty is history and everyone can financially afford to buy food.

Humanity has to reduce its birth rate and strive for a zero population growth.

There is not enough space on earth to grow food to end hunger without destroying
our natural resources that is already at unsustainable level.   

There is an urgency to address two main problems.
1.    The glut among high earners and
2.    The birth rate of the poverty-stricken masses.

We need to strive for only live child per woman.

Every birth should consciously be planned and every child should have the right to enjoy all that the earth and her environment has to offer. 


It is time that we are educated to become responsible for the space we occupy on earth.

The power of the future should be in our hands.

Have you ever thought how much fish the world harvest from the sea for human consumption each day

LET HE WHO HAS EYES TO SEE ACT NOW

The force behind the killing of white African farmers.

Every week, according to reports, white farmers are killed on farms in Southern African countries. These farms produced food and wealth for a nation. The seized land is often divided among groups of people who can hardly sustain themselves and has a negative impact on the wealth of their nation.

The reason of the killings boils up from deep within the psyche of a continent, that for centuries evolved by killing what the inhabitants perceive as their rivals. The one who have what you want, has throughout the history of Africa, been regarded as the enemy that should be killed before the wealth can change hands.

This is the very law that kept Africa poor and in the dark. The only ones who benefited from war, were the ones who instigated and controlled the killings from their remote safe places; the ones who do not need to fight for survival become richer when the land eventually comes under their control.

Many African rulers rule by empty promises, instilling hopes and dreams that will never be realized, and the promise to defeat an enemy that is created in their minds. For many centuries the people never questioned the wealth of their leaders in comparison to their own sufferings.

The profits derived from the recovered land would only guild the lifestyles, build the castles, and increase the fleets of luxury vehicles of the politicians and governors. With every war the people become poorer, food becomes scarcer and drugs dull the agony in the minds of the youth. The rulers will buy more weapons of war to keep the people occupied by declaring enemies to give the people something to live for …. to give them hopes and dreams of a fair and free life that will never bear fruit.
The people, the fathers and mothers of the ones who fought the battles for the rich remain poor. Many Africans become casualties of war or die from starvation.

It is only since the beginning of Democracy in South Africa that the farm killings have been purely about race. Since the vision of an African brotherhood, it became difficult to find an enemy other than one of color (or no color). African rulers wanted enemies on own soil.

The white farmer “Boer” is still regarded as the enemy and for a continent whose citizens are the offspring of warriors that lived by the sword and knew only how to wipe out the enemy in order to rule, the color of the skin marks the enemy.

When the last white and brown person has been killed, and famine and poverty spins out of control, what, or whom, will they then label as an enemy to kill next?

Democracy, negotiations and conferencing – the tools of freedom and prosperity make little sense to the children of poverty.

Many Africans fail to recognize that they already swapped the loincloth for the suit, the hut for the mansion, the sword for the weapon of mass destruction and the donkey for the jet. Yet they hold onto the old ways of war. They divide when they should unite. They make war when they should embrace freedom.


Democratic ideas have not brought better lifestyles for the majority. Only the skin color of the rulers changed. The freedom to stand first in queues, sit on any bench, use public toilets and attend any school is not putting food on the table or roofs over the heads of many. The fact is that it is not democracy than keeps them in poverty but rather the lavish lifestyles of their leaders that keep the grassroots in the mud. The rulers still enrich themselves instead empowering all the citizens of the nation. They continue to measure the success of a nation by the wealth of the rulers and the might of its armed forces and not by the prosperity and happiness of all the citizens.

The principles of Democracy offer sound solutions to end poverty only when it is embraced totally by all citizens and leaders. The first world is a weak example of the power of democracy. African democratic solutions need to be implemented that will share the wealth. The voice of the thinking, educated people should rule the economy and not rulers that line their own pockets, and control the hoards of uninformed masses with empty promises. The need of the people must come before the greed of rulers.

It is time that individuals work for the wealth and economy of all citizens; this should be demonstrated by the examples of those in power. They should be role models for shared wealth and patriotism.
Greed and division among any ruling body cause despair and separation among their citizens.

Recognize the people who can lead the country to prosperity and not the color of their skins. Recognize the ones who direct the ploughs that will fill the breadbasket of the nation.

Fight for education, health care, housing and skills to bring in food for the table and comforts for living. That is your right. It is the right of every citizen. The enemy is greed and unfair distribution of wealth. That is the enemy, but that is not the only enemy.
Imposed ignorance and false information is a bigger enemy still.

Everyone should be able to access the true information that can lead to right living conditions for all citizens.


IT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT TO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE.

If only BEE could be like a bee


The strongest quality of a bee is its ability to work united as a group. They work for the empowerment of the hive and not one sector within the swarm.

Once can say that a bee colony demonstrates unity.

If only the BEE policies in South Africa can strive towards unity, but that is not possible when one group of people is being empowered AT THE EXPENSE of the other.

Methods of empowerment that will empower all people in need and strengthen the economy would bring the “make poverty history” campaign closer to reality.
