New York November 2, 2007. Now Ban Ki Moon can count upon former Vice President, Al Gore, as United Nations' most invaluable asset in its war on global warming. Not because, Gore has been awarded this year's Nobel Prize, jointly with the UN's Science body, IPCC but because, he has made his views public on this global organization, of which Ban Ki Moon is the Secretary General.
It is now Al Gore's unflinching faith that the United Nations is the only appropriate forum to address the crisis that our planet is faced with and this assures the victory of the global war on global warming. In his speech in the 24th September Climate Summit held at the UN headquarters in New York, Al Gore told the gathering of 80 heads of state and government that it was now the time for action. "I would like to propose that the heads of the state around the world call an emergency session of this gathering in the beginning of next year to review the results of the Bali Summit," insisted Al Gore.
Al Gore deeply feels that mankind is faced with a planetary emergency, which requires very urgent attention. He, therefore, suggests that the discussions, deliberations and decisions shall be carried on at the Summit levels, rather than at the ministerial or bureaucratic level. He reiterated this stand in his Berlin Speech on October 23, 2007 when he unambiguously endorsed UN supremacy as the organizer of a concerted battle. "World leaders should meet in January under the auspicious of UN to act on the results of the Bali Talks," he said.
These are the indications that Al Gore has taken upon himself a new role of motivating and galvanizing the world leaders to combat global warming in a concerted manner and that, too, under the leadership of the United Nations. It is, therefore, imperative that the world body facilitates this move by Al Gore.
And this role much bigger than the role; he has already played as a motivator, which won him many accolades, par excellence, including the 2007 Nobel Prize. Whether in politics, in power or out of power, Al Gore has always been a climate activist. Media has rightly called him a climate warrior. Additionally, he is a great motivator. He is preparing humanity to fight the global warming. Al Gore was the first American Politician in Congress who organized the Congressional hearing in 1980 on the subject.
He gathered scientists and put them in touch with the politicians to let the scientific truth become a part of political decision-making. As the Vice President in the Clinton Administration, he worked on the implementation of the Carbon Tax. This tax was meant to give incentives to the industry to cut down the use of fossil fuels to lessen the emission of greenhouse gases. He also facilitated the funding of a satellite named Triana, launched to study the atmosphere. But his real opportunity came in 1997.
The second report by IPCC had been released in 1995. The urgency to deal with climate change crisis was being felt. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) had called its annual Conference of the Parties number three (CoP3) to be held at Kyoto, Japan in December 1997. It was here that Al Gore played the role of a broker, bringing the parties together and convincing them to agree on cuts in emissions. This international climate treaty, which bound 36 developed nations to cut the emission of greenhouse gases and bring it to the level of 5% below the 1990 level, came to be known as the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol enters into compliance stage in 2008, to be completed by 2012. The success and failure of this treaty will determine the fate of our planet.
And perhaps, this is Al Gore's destiny. He helped broker the Kyoto Protocol and, now, he needs to work for its success also. Al Gore has already given a call to reach the targets by 2010, instead of by 2012. Al Gore's obsession with climate change issue is that of a missionary. It is not motivated by a politician's unending desire for global visibility or to enhance the prospects of elect ability. It dates back to his student days, much before he chose his career. At Harvard University, his professor, Roger Reveille, sowed in him the seeds of an interest to learn the role of carbon dioxide in atmosphere. This interest has been growing since then. Al Gore went deep and deep into the topic, presented slide shows and delivered lectures on the topic.
Al Gore says that he presented about 1000 slide shows before he was given the offer to transform his collections into a documentary movie. Two producers, Laurie David and Lawrence Bender, saw one of his slide shows in 2004 in New York and were so impressed and inspired that they, with the help of Director Davis Guggenheim used the material to make the movie that was named, An Inconvenient Truth. The movie weaves very skillfully Al Gore's motivational skills and his insight into the causes and effects of global warming, along with the human costs, including 100 million people feared to be rendered homeless in lsland states and coastal areas because of rising sea levels.
Consequently, An Inconvenient Truth distributed by Paramount Classics, became a big box office hit, grossing over $ 49 billion worldwide. It, also, won inspirational comments by the film reviewers. Robert Elbert, a film critic wrote these lines. "In 39 years, I have never written these words in movie review, but here, they are. You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not and you have grandchildren, you should explain them why you decided not to." To further spread the knowledge, Al Gore founded an NGO, The Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan initiative. His zeal and sincerity to the cause is evident from the fact that he and his wife, Tipper, gave away all the proceeds from the movie and its companion book to this organization.
"Tipper and I are donating 100% of the profits from the book and movie to a new bipartisan educational campaign to further spread the message about global warming." And he knows no stopping. On July 7, 2007, he joined Kevin wall of "Save Our Selves" and organized star-studded "Live Earth Concerts" to "promote environmentalism worldwide." His global mission is advancing and the world is recognizing his contributions that he has made through his speeches, slide shows, books, columns and movie,.
He has taken the issue out of political arena into the humanitarian field. During his brief speech during the Oscar Award given to the Director of An Inconvenient Truth, Davis Guggenheim, he told the celebrity-audience: "My fellow Americans and people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It is not a political issue; it is a moral issue. We have everything; we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act.
That is a renewable resource. Let us renew it." His fellow Americans and the people all over the world, not only feel pleasure in listening to his message, they, also, get elevated when the world rewards him with accolades in return for his services to mankind. His slide shows have got standing ovations; he is one of the most respected international speakers; he is the winner of Academy Award, and also of Emmy. And now, he is honored with the world's most prestigious award, the Nobel Peace Prize, 2007, which he shares with the UN's Science Panel, IPCC, headed by Rajendra K.Pachauri.
The Nobel Prize Committee acknowledges Al Gore's contributions in its citation. "Al Gore is probably the single individual who has done most to create worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted." But Al Gore does not ignore the services that the IPCC is doing in strengthening the knowledge and ideological base of the climate warriors, including his. He praised the IPCC as "the world's pre-eminent body devoted to improving the understanding of the climate crisis.
" This year's Nobel Prize clearly shows Al Gore and UN marching in the same direction, trying to reach the same goal. The only requirement for victory is change in attitude, whereby Al Gore becomes the Climate Warrior of the United Nations and Ban Ki Moon's dream comes true. These are Ban's words on the Nobel Prize award to him, in partnership with IPCC.
"Largely thanks to the IPCC's lucid and well-documented findings, it is now established that climate change is happening and that much of it is caused by human activity. As a result, there is now unprecedented momentum for action on climate change around the world and recognition of the UN as the forum/" "Recognition of the UN as forum" is coming up as the main battle cry. Ban has been working on it since he took office and Al Gore has endorsed it. Oslo, the Headquarter of the Nobel Prize Committee, has become the WATERLOO of the skeptics of science of global warming. The only hurdle will be President Bush's approach towards the combat strategy and Al Gore is the only high profile, internationally recognized pro-earth politician who can rally the world politicians under the flag of UN.
Al Gore is a great motivator. One has to listen to the opening monologue in his movie "An Inconvenient Truth", where he shows the beauty of nature vanishing if no action were taken to prevent. "You look at the river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs in the distance. You hear the cow. The mud gives a little bit on the riverbank. It is quiet; it is peaceful. And all of a sudden, there is a gearshift inside you. And it is like taking a deep breath and going. "Oh yeah, I forgot about this.""
And once again, on October 23, in Berlin, he motivated the world for an action to save the planet and that too, urgently and immediately. He posed two questions. What is going to be one of the two probable questions that the next generations will ask when they look back at the year 2007.
"I believe our children and grand children will look towards the year 2007 and ask one of the two questions. They will ask about us-what were they doing? What were they thinking about and how could they let that catastrophe happen? Didn't they listen to the scientists? Didn't they see the glaciers and polar caps melting? Didn't they see that fire? Or, will they ask another question. I want them to ask this question. How did they find the moral courage to rise up and solve the problem everyone said was impossible to solve?"
By showing preference for the second question, he wants us to gird up the loins for an action, a real action. But to get that done, Al Gore will have to add a bigger role to his existing role of awareness creator, even at the cost of lessening his work as a motivator. I propose that Al Gore now begins motivating the world leaders to join the mainstream battle under the aegis of the United Nations.
He has the leverage for it. He can easily break the American resistance. He can demand the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in exchange for his endorsement to any one of the Presidential candidates in race for 2008 elections.
Al Gore and Ban Ki Moon shall shake hands, in the interest of humanity, to form a global coalition of the politicians, activists, organizations and governments to combat global warming and save the "Planet in Peril." There are very many pro-earth leaders on this earth, who would be more than happy to join this coalition. I sincerely believe that one such leader of repute is German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. (Stay tuned to know about the German Chancellor's role in the battle on global warming) (NOTE: This is chapter 9 of 10 of the 1st episode of 5-episode documentary by the Better India: Global Warming and United Nations.

Global Warming - A Threat To Humanity And Environment
Some thirty years ago, scientists had already alerted the world regarding the possible repercussions of global warming. It is the biggest threat to our civilization after the cold war. Due to climate change that is brought about by global warming, glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, devastating storms prevailing, floods and landslides aggravating, droughts affecting crops and livestock production happening and etc.
They are some of the catastrophic effects brought forth in our midst where solutions and immediate resolve urgently needed to cope with the situation. Have we done something to address the problem? Are we allowing it to continue without the objective to combat it? Well, it is now considered a mega proportion predicament that we need to put up our collective effort and partnership that every country and government should promote environmental awareness to their citizens on how they can contribute in alleviating the situation. It should not only encourage and inspire action individuals, businesses, but also other countries and governments worlwide as well.
The partnership aims to conduct research and experiments on the long term effect of climate change. How will it affect our rainforests and the world's major bodies of water like the lakes, rivers, oceans and the livelihood of people who are depending on them. Addressing this particular environmental issue is profoundly vital in tackling the impact of global warming. We need to initiate to reduce carbon emission and other greenhouse gases, educate the people about climate change issues and what practical solutions can be done.
Each country have to map out of how much carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases it has produced and emitted into the atmosphere and the same way it has to come out of how much greening it has to the environment through reforestation in the rural and planting of plants/trees in urban areas, to neutralize these harmful gases emitted into the air. Once these gases are in the atmosphere, they stay there for a long time thus trapping the heat in the lower atmosphere and radiating some of it back to earth. With huge amount of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere it would increase the global surface temperature, thus causing drought, change in weather, higher sea levels, melting the north/south pole glaciers and disrupting not only the natural balance of world's climate but also the ecological balance of the environment as well.
Through environmental awareness, every individual can contribute in his own little way in combating climate change. Every little thing you can do at home, say the use of gas emitting equipments or vehicles, you need to minimize their use if you cannot totally avoid them. Any equipment or vehicle using oil and gas when burned produces carbon dioxide, nothwithstanding the greenhouse gas emitted by compressor run equipments like the airconditioning units, refrigeration and freezing units, etc. which need to be regulated because of the effect it can bring to our ozone layer.
These gases are the most devastating global warming gases remaining in the atmosphere. Energy efficient appliances and by saving energy help reduce gas emission of power plant generators generating electricity. So it is better to discard inefficient equipments and switch off the appliances, lights and compressor run equipment when not in use. If you are going somewhere not far from your home try walking, it is not only a good exercise but you also help save the environment from deteriorating.

I Need To Wake Up and So Do You.
I Need To Wake Up and So Do You.
Melissa Etheridge's chilling video says it all in "I Need to Wake up" and so do all of us.
Global warming and it's life extinction threat is no longer a speculative or theoretical possibility.
We are already there! Everyday we are presented with a rude awakening in the newspaper headlines of yet another disaster directly attributable to unnatural and unprecedented climate changes.
Any one who has seen the Melissa Etheridge video depicting the graphic and horrific effects and consequences of global warming must have become just a little more awake.
How could we human beings, claiming to be intelligent life forms yet, think we could indefinitely get away with the obscene amount of insults and injuries that we subject our earth and communal life support system to and expect no adverse repercussions?
Have we been sleepwalking though this? No! There were always the voices of the aware ones crying out a warning. But avarice and greed drowned them out
Well mercifully the balance is shifting and we are waking up to the reality that our destruction is almost at our doors. What will we do about global warming and its devastating effects that are already being felt daily? Pull the covers up and go back to sleep? Wait for someone else to save us? There is no one else!
We need to wake up and stay awake! Clean up our mess with every action we take from now on. Some experts are saying it may already be too late. Well be that as it may, we must try. For, what is the alternative?
When a situation calls for action, we must act! What can we do? Let us add our voices to those who tell the inconvenient truth of global warming. Join: http://www.StopGlobalWarming.org
Tell everyone you know about the things that you are doing to help stop this disaster AND ask them to join you. Spend your money wisely and stop supporting any action economic, political or social that continues to destroy our home the earth.
Wake up and stay alert! For this is literally and not virtually a fight for our collective lives.

Yehovah Jesus Allah Call for an End to Judaism Christianity and Islam
Yehovah Jesus Allah Call for an End to Judaism Christianity and Islam
The world is in turmoil today. President Bush publicly declared a Christian Crusade. President Ahmadinejad publicly declared his intention for World Jihad, for the creation of a world Islamic state. Prime Minister Olmert is preparing plans to nuke Iran. The United Nations sees all of this. They see that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are engaged in a clash of civilizations leading us all into nuclear world war 3. The High Level Group of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations recently completed and issued their report. Their conclusion was that the clash between Islam, Christianity and Judaism which is about to lead us all into the radioactive fires of real live Hell on earth did not have a religious cause. Either the study group members were suffering from severe retardation or they did a cover up for Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
The Pope recently came out with three reasons that there is no peace on earth. Religion was not one of them.
Let us say that you have a weed, a dandelion in your backyard. Lets say that you take a scissors and cut off the top. Not only will the weed return but it will spread. The only way to solve the problem is to take your $2 weeder and dig the weed out by the roots. We need to root out the problem facing the world now. If we continue to bury our heads in the sand then soon our God will lead us all into extinction in nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath nuclear winter and then ultraviolet summer. Every scientist knows that nuclear world war 3 will have zero survivors.
The Jewish people follow the Old Testament. The Christian people follow the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Muslim people follow the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. All of them follow God of Mount Sinai who handed the 10 commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. Let us assume as Judaism, Christianity and Islam do that these Holy Bibles are the absolute word of God. In the Gospel of John it opens up by saying "The Word was God." This means that "God is the Word of God". God has three groups of followers, three children, the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Let us see what their God says.
The Old Testament is followed by Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Old Testament contains The Psalms. In Psalm 2 God of Mount Sinai says that he will send his Messiah. The Messiah will take a rod of iron and smash all non group members into a million pieces like a potter's vessel and conquer the world for each group. This means that the Jewish Messiah will massacre every non Jewish man, woman and child on earth and conquer the world for Judaism. This means that the very same God of Mount Sinai will massacre every non Christian man, woman and child on earth and conquer the world for Christianity. This means that the very same God of Mount Sinai will slaughter every non Muslim man, woman and child and conquer the world for Islam. This means that God of Mount Sinai has promised the whole world to each of his three children if they go out and kill God's other 2 children. This means that God of Mount Sinai is a vile, vicious, sadistic warmonger leading us all into nuclear world war 3, our present course.
Unfortunately this is just the beginning of what your sadistic murderous God commands each of his children. The Old Testament is packed with passages where your God of Mount Sinai commands each group to go out and slaughter mercilessly every single other group, every man, woman and child and burn their villages to the ground. In the New Testament your God of Mount Sinai commands every Christian to go out and throw every single non Christian man, woman and child into the fire because they are Devils. (Matthew 13:36-43). In the Koran God of Mount Sinai says to the Muslim people, "Make war on the Christians, Jews and Infidels and I will give you eternal paradise with me in Heaven with crystal clear streams, 72 virgins and endless wine with no side effects." (Koran Sura 9:5, 29-30, Sura 56.)
It should be clear by now that as long as Judaism, Christianity and Islam exist there can never be peace on earth. This is why your God says through every single Biblical prophet including and especially Jesus Christ that the Holy Bibles are not his word. Your God says through every single Biblical prophet including and especially Jesus Christ that the Holy Bibles except for the 10 commandments carved in stone by God himself are forgeries written by human beings and signed "God." (Ezekiel 13:6). God called your Holy Bibles a pack of lies written by a bunch of ignorant drunks which would lead us all into the fire. (Isaiah 28:9-15). Jesus Christ the Jewish born Messiah of Christianity and Islam said that when he returned he would command all of his angels to take the poisonous weeds, the Tares, the 3 Holy Bibles and toss them into the fire to save you all from them, except for the 10 commandments. (Matt. 13:24-30). The 10 page Temple of Love website http://www.thetempleoflove.com sets out exactly what your God said through every Biblical prophet, the parts your religion does not teach you because if they did you would run out the door, and your God's simple map for how you all save life on earth yourselves. In The Temple of Love you will finally be joining together with your God and following the map of your God which leads to the survival of life one earth.
The sixth commandment of God of Mount Sinai is "Don't Murder." We are all composed of air, water and earth. If we stop murdering tomorrow then it means that we stop poisoning to death our components air, water and earth. An end to murder would mean an end to pollution, global warming, murder and war. Your God is not a sadistic warmonger. Your human savage Bible writers were sadistic warmongers. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim people today are following these Bible writers right into the agonizing extinction of all life on earth forever in nuclear world war 3, Armageddon, and rejecting the word of their God, the 10 commandments.
We may already have passed the point of no return on this planet but the worse thing that we can do is to give up hope. Jesus called the Rabbis, Priests and Ayatollahs following the Old Testament today "corrupt, hypocritical, venomous poisonous murderous snakes and blind guides leading you all into the fire." (Matthew 23). These people will never tell you to set aside your Bibles because they would lose their money and power over you. Your mainstream media will never print this article because they are owned by the Jews, Christians and Muslims. This means that the people of earth will never know that The Temple of Love aka The Temple of 10ve aka The World Peace Religion aka The Third Temple has been rebuilt, with your God of Mount Sinai's (aka God the Father, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, Allah, Yehovah, Elohim, the God of your ancestors who led you out of slavery in Egypt, I Am Who I Am, and all of those in every language) blueprint for you all to save life on earth yourselves.
Yehovah, Jesus and Allah call for an end to the Old Testament, the cornerstone of Judaism, Christianity and Islam repeatedly right in your Holy Bibles, except for the 10 commandments. God carved in stone "Don't Murder" and the 3 Bibles call out "Murder!" endlessly. How simple it would be if tomorrow every Synagogue, Church and Mosque on earth changed their name to The Temple of Love and turned from haters into lovers. Otherwise just walk out the door and don't look back. You must break the bonds which your religious leaders have you tied up in now in order to achieve peace on earth. Then we would have a chance, according to your God who loves you all and your own common sense. Your political leaders are using these religions to set you all against yourselves. In a nuclear age where nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath, Armageddon, will have no survivors we cannot afford to be divided. It seems like we need to have a love party.

The world is in turmoil today. President Bush publicly declared a Christian Crusade. President Ahmadinejad publicly declared his intention for World Jihad, for the creation of a world Islamic state. Prime Minister Olmert is preparing plans to nuke Iran. The United Nations sees all of this. They see that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are engaged in a clash of civilizations leading us all into nuclear world war 3. The High Level Group of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations recently completed and issued their report. Their conclusion was that the clash between Islam, Christianity and Judaism which is about to lead us all into the radioactive fires of real live Hell on earth did not have a religious cause. Either the study group members were suffering from severe retardation or they did a cover up for Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
The Pope recently came out with three reasons that there is no peace on earth. Religion was not one of them.
Let us say that you have a weed, a dandelion in your backyard. Lets say that you take a scissors and cut off the top. Not only will the weed return but it will spread. The only way to solve the problem is to take your $2 weeder and dig the weed out by the roots. We need to root out the problem facing the world now. If we continue to bury our heads in the sand then soon our God will lead us all into extinction in nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath nuclear winter and then ultraviolet summer. Every scientist knows that nuclear world war 3 will have zero survivors.
The Jewish people follow the Old Testament. The Christian people follow the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Muslim people follow the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. All of them follow God of Mount Sinai who handed the 10 commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. Let us assume as Judaism, Christianity and Islam do that these Holy Bibles are the absolute word of God. In the Gospel of John it opens up by saying "The Word was God." This means that "God is the Word of God". God has three groups of followers, three children, the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Let us see what their God says.
The Old Testament is followed by Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Old Testament contains The Psalms. In Psalm 2 God of Mount Sinai says that he will send his Messiah. The Messiah will take a rod of iron and smash all non group members into a million pieces like a potter's vessel and conquer the world for each group. This means that the Jewish Messiah will massacre every non Jewish man, woman and child on earth and conquer the world for Judaism. This means that the very same God of Mount Sinai will massacre every non Christian man, woman and child on earth and conquer the world for Christianity. This means that the very same God of Mount Sinai will slaughter every non Muslim man, woman and child and conquer the world for Islam. This means that God of Mount Sinai has promised the whole world to each of his three children if they go out and kill God's other 2 children. This means that God of Mount Sinai is a vile, vicious, sadistic warmonger leading us all into nuclear world war 3, our present course.
Unfortunately this is just the beginning of what your sadistic murderous God commands each of his children. The Old Testament is packed with passages where your God of Mount Sinai commands each group to go out and slaughter mercilessly every single other group, every man, woman and child and burn their villages to the ground. In the New Testament your God of Mount Sinai commands every Christian to go out and throw every single non Christian man, woman and child into the fire because they are Devils. (Matthew 13:36-43). In the Koran God of Mount Sinai says to the Muslim people, "Make war on the Christians, Jews and Infidels and I will give you eternal paradise with me in Heaven with crystal clear streams, 72 virgins and endless wine with no side effects." (Koran Sura 9:5, 29-30, Sura 56.)
It should be clear by now that as long as Judaism, Christianity and Islam exist there can never be peace on earth. This is why your God says through every single Biblical prophet including and especially Jesus Christ that the Holy Bibles are not his word. Your God says through every single Biblical prophet including and especially Jesus Christ that the Holy Bibles except for the 10 commandments carved in stone by God himself are forgeries written by human beings and signed "God." (Ezekiel 13:6). God called your Holy Bibles a pack of lies written by a bunch of ignorant drunks which would lead us all into the fire. (Isaiah 28:9-15). Jesus Christ the Jewish born Messiah of Christianity and Islam said that when he returned he would command all of his angels to take the poisonous weeds, the Tares, the 3 Holy Bibles and toss them into the fire to save you all from them, except for the 10 commandments. (Matt. 13:24-30). The 10 page Temple of Love website http://www.thetempleoflove.com sets out exactly what your God said through every Biblical prophet, the parts your religion does not teach you because if they did you would run out the door, and your God's simple map for how you all save life on earth yourselves. In The Temple of Love you will finally be joining together with your God and following the map of your God which leads to the survival of life one earth.
The sixth commandment of God of Mount Sinai is "Don't Murder." We are all composed of air, water and earth. If we stop murdering tomorrow then it means that we stop poisoning to death our components air, water and earth. An end to murder would mean an end to pollution, global warming, murder and war. Your God is not a sadistic warmonger. Your human savage Bible writers were sadistic warmongers. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim people today are following these Bible writers right into the agonizing extinction of all life on earth forever in nuclear world war 3, Armageddon, and rejecting the word of their God, the 10 commandments.
We may already have passed the point of no return on this planet but the worse thing that we can do is to give up hope. Jesus called the Rabbis, Priests and Ayatollahs following the Old Testament today "corrupt, hypocritical, venomous poisonous murderous snakes and blind guides leading you all into the fire." (Matthew 23). These people will never tell you to set aside your Bibles because they would lose their money and power over you. Your mainstream media will never print this article because they are owned by the Jews, Christians and Muslims. This means that the people of earth will never know that The Temple of Love aka The Temple of 10ve aka The World Peace Religion aka The Third Temple has been rebuilt, with your God of Mount Sinai's (aka God the Father, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, Allah, Yehovah, Elohim, the God of your ancestors who led you out of slavery in Egypt, I Am Who I Am, and all of those in every language) blueprint for you all to save life on earth yourselves.

The World Peace Religion is the Middle East Solution
The World Peace Religion is the Middle East Solution
The Temple of Love - The World Peace Religion is the Middle East Solution and the solution for everlasting peace on Earth.
What is needed more than anything else today is a simple change in attitude by the Christian, Muslim and Jewish people. Instead of focusing on your differences focus on your similarities.
The Muslim, Christian and Jewish people today are like scientists looking at a speck of dust under a high powered microscope. Instead of seeing the speck of dust in its true perspective as a harmless speck of dust they see it as a gigantic monster about to consume them and their grandchildren.
People today think that the situation in the world is hopeless. President Bush is expanding his Christian Crusade into Syria and Iran. Iran is preparing its Muslim Jihad to take over the world and create an Islamic state. The World is hurtling into nuclear world war 3 the Apocalypse. Christians and Muslims are thrilled to see the coming Armageddon because they believe that this will hasten the arrival of the Messiahs Jesus Christ and the Mahdi to conquer the world for them and bring everlasting peace because they read this in their Holy Scriptures.
Ask any nuclear scientist and they will tell you that nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath nuclear winter then ultraviolet summer will have zero survivors. Insanity is defined as being a danger to yourself or to others and not understanding the nature and consequences of your actions. The belief that nuclear world war three will bring your group the world and everlasting peace on earth is the delusion and insanity which endangers life on Earth today.
The time has come to use your own mind and your own common sense to save yourselves. At The Temple of Love - The World Peace Religion on a ten page website we take the Holy Bible verses of Judaism, Christianity and Islam like pieces of a puzzle all mixed up in a box. Then we throw the pieces up into the air and scramble them. Then we rearrange them as God of Mount Sinai said to do through every single Biblical prophet including the Jewish born Messiah of Christianity and Islam Jesus Christ and we add in the light of modern discoveries. What we come up with is the world map of God of Mount Sinai to the survival of life on earth and a far different story than the one being taught by your Christian, Muslim and Jewish teachers. God of Mount Sinai's map to survival is simple and it works. The road you are all on today leads to disaster. Will it take watching your children being vaporized instantly into black ashes until you understand this?
Are you hypnotized so badly that you do not understand that the earth moves even though your Holy Bible says three times that the earth does not move and it never will? Are you hypnotized so badly that you believe that nuclear world war 3 is the road to everlasting peace on earth?
What is needed more than anything else is a simple change in attitude by the Christian, Muslim and Jewish people. Instead of focusing on your differences focus on your similarities. The Jewish, Muslim and Christian people all share the same planet earth. They all have the same human DNA. Humans have been on earth for 5 million years and Judaism is only 4 thousand years old, Christianity 2 thousand years old and Islam 1400 years old. Therefore prior to 4,000 years ago Christians, Muslims and Jews all share the same Pagan ancestors and the same Pagan bloodlines. The Christian, Muslim and Jewish people all believe that there is only one God. The Muslim, Christian and Jewish people all believe that this God is the God who handed the 10 commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai 3,200 years ago today. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim people all believe that the 10 commandments of their God of Mount Sinai are the Divine Constitution of the Universe. If you stop right there then every Christian, Muslim and Jew belongs to the same group, The Temple of Love - The World Peace Religion.
The 10 commandments of our God of Mount Sinai are extremely powerful almost to the point of being miraculous, supernatural. Take the sixth commandment "Don't Murder". Human beings are composed of earth, water and air. Now let us unite as 10vers in The Temple of Love aka The Temple of 10ve. If we stop murdering then we must stop poisoning to death the pieces we are made of air, water and earth. This will bring an immediate end to pollution, global warming, crime and war.
What about our different beliefs which divide us all and are leading us all against each other into nuclear world war three? God of Mount Sinai showed us all exactly how to set these differences aside through every single Biblical Prophet of Islam, Judaism and Christianity in your Holy Bibles. Go now to The Temple of Love website and see for yourselves and teach the answer in your schools. Put the link for The Temple of Love http://www.thetempleoflove.com on every website today. Change the name of your Church, Mosque and Synagogue to The Temple of Love today. All you need to do is to follow one single word of your God of Mount Sinai 10ve to survive. If you do then we will survive and if you do not then we will all soon perish in the coming fires of nuclear world war three and global warming.
What is needed more than anything else is a simple change in attitude by the Christian, Muslim and Jewish people. Instead of focusing on your differences focus on your similarities. Every Christian, Muslim and Jew believes in God of Mount Sinai. This is one of your countless similarities. You all believe in the same God. Instead of uniting with this common belief, you divide because you all give your God a different name. This is like dividing because you all give gravity a different name in your different languages. Gravity and God exist and pull you in the right direction no matter what you call it, God the Father, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, Allah, Elohim, Yehovah, Adonai, Hashem, I Am that I Am, the God of your forefathers who led you out of slavery in Egypt and all of these names in every language.
In a nuclear age we cannot afford to be divided. The Muslims have divided into Shiite and Sunni. They all believe what 10vers believe. They are divided because the Shiites follow as their religious leader the descendants of the son in law of the Prophet Muhammad and the Sunnis follow the descendants of the General of the Prophet Muhammad. It is now time to cast this difference aside and follow the word of your God 10ve.
I hereby command in the name of God of Mount Sinai every website and newspaper on earth to publish this article in its entirety. God said to the Prophet Zachariah, "Get out my message. If you do and the people do not listen then I will hold you blameless. If you do not and harm comes to the people then the blood of the innocent men, women and children will be upon your head." The people of earth want their Messiah to come and change things for the better and yet they refuse to change a thing. Stay the course and perish. Follow the one word of your God 10ve and survive. Is this to plain? You are all 99 per cent the same and just one inch from everlasting world peace today. Walk that final inch now. 10ve

How to find your calling after forty - Step Up for a great New Year!
How to find your calling after forty - Step Up for a great New Year!
How to find your calling after forty - Step Up for a great New Year!
December,2006 By Craig Nathanson - The Vocational Coach™ What is my calling?
That's the first question I usually get. The second question is "how do I find it"?
I say, "Well, first you have to go looking for it!"
Most of us are afraid to take that little peak inside to see what we really want. After forty, it's time to listen to one's heart, not one's mom or boss or spouse or what we think the rest of the world wants.
Evaluate and envision your journey
Evaluate where you have been in your life and ask yourself, "Is this enough?" Do you get out of bed in the morning and decide you would rather pull the covers back over your head? Do you still yearn to write that first novel, open up your first deli, or simply stop working for other people? Can you envision what it would be like if you could only do what you love--now?
Fire your boss and your job
No one over forty deserves to be working in JUST a job or for JUST a boss. This is our time to work for ourselves, crafting and selling the natural gifts we have to offer the world...if we could just figure out what they are!
What aisle do you drift to?
Walk into your favorite bookstore; which aisle do you gravitate towards? If you had a day to yourself, what would you do and why? Who inspires you? What movies inspire you?
Start with some research
Google search is probably the greatest single technology ever invented. Take your passion and start with a simple search. Find someone else who is doing what you want to do. Insect collecting, wine tasting, making films--it doesn't matter what it is.
Don't judge the book by its cover
At this stage of your search, don't share what you are doing with anyone just yet--not even with those who love you. They will confuse your passion with their view around the practical aspects of making money. Money comes in just a moment.
Make a list of all the possibilities for your passions. Let's pretend your passion is making films. What might be possible? What films might be possible? What films do you want to make and why? What would be the best features of your films? Who would benefit from your films? Who would be the ideal niche audience for your films?
Find a filmmaker who makes the kind of films you would like to make. Interview him or her and find out what small steps you might take to get started.
Time over money
If you quit your unfulfilling job today, how long could you go without making an income? Would your answer be one month, six months, one year? How could you expand your time? The more time the better. Different answers will drive different strategies. If you can go a year without making an income, then you can afford to take a few more risks then the person who must make an income within three months.
Could you lengthen your time? Could you cash in your retirement fund? Scary, but why not? You won't need it if you are doing what you love! Once you start making an income, how much, exactly, do you need to make? Expect to make around 50% less money in the first four years than you made in your traditional job if you go into business for yourself.
Expect to make about 25% less if you follow your passion and work for someone else.
In my research, I have noticed that after about four years, people who have pursued their passion start to make to close to what they made in their old unfulfilling jobs--sometimes even more.
Nothing is off limits
When it comes to following your passion, you'll need a lighter backpack for this part of the journey. Sounds difficult, but if this part was easy, everybody would be answering their calling!
Create multiple streams of income
Starting out, you might find yourself working Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for someone else, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for yourself. The current model of work for those over forty is outdated and well past its prime. The corporate world, as an entity, can be helpful to those just starting out as they seek to build ego and self in the world. This stage is critical to one's development. After forty, however, the corporate world can ruin one's soul and sense of self.
Be a rebel with a cause
Twenty thousand people die each day from starvation. We waste billions of dollars on needless wars and even more justifying them. Follow the global warming trends, and earth itself might not be here in one hundred years. This won't affect you but it will affect your grandchildren.
So while large corporations compete for the most dollars without regard for our future, you can be different. You must be different. There are too many people working in faceless jobs for faceless bosses for faceless firms. Can't help cure starvation? Can't help reduce wars or save the planet? Start with your own happiness. It will spread like wildfire to all those you encounter.
Make an impact in your second half
This is one set of New Year's resolutions that won't go unnoticed by your soul. Stand up!
Shout it out loud! You are through with an empty life devoid of energy, passion and meaning!
Stand up for what you believe in. Be the change now that you want to see in the world. It all starts with your calling--what calls you now? Take your first steps; in some small ways this earth we all share will be just a little better because of you.
I'll be cheering you on each small step of the way.
