Theme of the 8th Symposium 2012: BUILDING PEACE BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS
PRESENTATION OF THE SYMPOSIUM
BUILDING PEACE BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS
Today, the worrying state of the planet challenges us. Social problems, financial crises and natural disasters compel us to an individual and collective awareness: saving the planet requires the combined efforts of all human beings. There is urgency at every level of society.
His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH founded the Aumist religion to help us take on our responsibilities:
“Men, beyond their differences, must know how to unite at the bedside of their living environment, sick from being overexploited and polluted.”
Yet in order to unite and act together in solidarity, we must go beyond particular and national interests, the desire for domination, sectarianism and greed, which lead to division and violence.
Since thoughts of hatred generate suffering and war, His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH teaches us the means of escaping this spiral through a change of mentality: the Unity of the Faces of God, the foundation of the Aumist religion, implies tolerance and respect for different religions and cultures; the need to cultivate a spirit of reconciliation and a spirit of justice towards human beings and nature; and positive values that put science at the service of peace and give guidance to new generations.
“Through your beneficial thoughts, generate a powerful current of peace, brotherhood and true love, strong enough to ward off war and social conflict.”
His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH
