The Problems of Humanity: Building Right Human Relations
Study Seven: International Unity


Seed Thought for Meditation


That is truly spiritual which properly relates man to man and man to God. . . . Spirituality is essentially the establishing of right human relations, the promotion of goodwill and, finally, the establishing of true peace on earth.


Key Statements


Humanity as a whole is of far greater importance than any one nation.

The battle between the old entrenched forces and the emerging new idealism constitutes the problem of today.

The distribution of the world's resources and the settled unity of the peoples of the world are in reality one and the same thing, for behind all modern wars lies a fundamental economic problem. Solve that and wars will very largely cease.

Unity and right human relations - individual, communal, national and international - can be brought about by the united action of men and women of goodwill in every country.


WORK PROPOSAL

Suggestions for Consideration and/or Discussion


Continue with the daily meditation.

Consider the following questions as a basis for group discussion or to provide a structure for expressing your own ideas.


1.      In what direction do you believe the world is going at this time? Can you see hopeful signs among the confusion and conflicts of today?

2. What do your consider are the qualities of the “old entrenched forces”? Please be specific; it is important to recognize the nature of the reactionary forces and which of them seems the most dangerous.

3. Some of the new ideals which are under discussion today have certainly been recognized by you. Which of these would you like to see materialize? What do you understand by the term “new consciousness”?


4. What do you consider to be the “middle-path” between the pair of opposites which will lead to world unity and right human relations?
