Ruth Shady’s plan for peace: we all must attune ourselves to the larger view of the universe, as peaceful cultures in ancient Peru did:
When you realize how small the Earth is in relation to the cosmos, and how small we are in relation to the Earth, then you can understand the appropriate place of humans in relation to the Earth. These people looked up at the stars and understood this. We look at the Earth too much and miss the big picture, the stars. We must see a larger view if we are to live in peace.
(Quoted from page 170 of Threshold: The Crisis of Western Culture, by Thom Hartmann. Viking, 2009.)
