Principles of Love and Respect for All

Affirmation of Divine Love:
I devote myself to God
by loving your Spirit in all,
one reality, invisible
with liberty and justice for all.

The Earth is our Mother.
To prevent water pollution and global warming
the mother-suckers should stop the mother-fracking.

Should President Trump be Trusted with Nuclear Weapons on January 20, 2017?
Debates, Media, Money, and Green Revolution
The United States and all the nations with nuclear weapons are obligated
by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to disarm all their nuclear weapons as soon as possible.
Trying to win an illegal war is to add war crimes and crimes against humanity to the original crime against peace.
Legislators who vote to continue illegal wars are complicit in war crimes.  

STATISTICS OF SHAME:
The United States Government is currently spending about as much money on war as the rest of the world combined. This is paid for by about half of U.S. federal income tax.
Estimated number of persons incarcerated in the United States in 1980: 500,000.
Estimated number of persons incarcerated in the United States in 2019: 2,300,000.
The United States now leads the world in the number of people incarcerated and the rate of incarceration.
In the United States about 7 million people are either on bail, on parole, or on probation.
22% of all imprisoned people on Earth are in the United States, though US population is only 4.4% of the world.
African-Americans now equal the number of incarcerated whites in the US. Is this not the new slavery?

Most beneficial persons of the last four millennia (in my opinion) -
2nd BC: Duke Zhou, 1st BC: Buddha, 1st CE: Jesus, 2nd CE: Gandhi

Death is a Spiritual Birth

When the physical body becomes too weak to survive,
The soul departs and awakens in a higher realm of Light.
One remembers the previous life on Earth as if it were a dream,
Learning from those meaningful moments spiritual lessons.
One sees the Light of other beings there who welcome the soul.
A Divine Being radiating Light and spiritual love understands us
And guides us into the realization that we are all one Light.
We see old friends and relatives who look young and happy.
We think this is heaven as we read each other’s minds.
We are not sure where we are, but we are home.
We realize that death of the physical body is a spiritual birth
That frees us from the limits of our lives on the Earth.

Sanderson Beck * sandersonbeck@gmail.com

Sanderson Beck was born March 5, 1947 in Los Angeles. He earned a B.A. in Dramatic Art from the University of California at Berkeley in 1967, an M.A. in Religious Studies from U.C. Santa Barbara in 1971, Ph.D. candidacy in the Philosophy of Education from U.C.L.A. in 1977, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the World University of America in 1980. He was a Conscientious Objector during the Vietnam War. In 1982 he formulated World Peace Movement Principles, Purposes, and Methods. In 1986 he published The Way to Peace and in 1987 Life as a Whole: Principles of Education Based on a Spiiritual Philosophy of love. That year he traveled to 47 states and met with more than 600 peace groups to promote peace and disarmament (Peace Tour Journal 1987). He has been arrested more than fifty times for nonviolently protesting nuclear weapons and military intervention, and in 1989 he was imprisoned for six months for a petty offense. Sanderson has taught more than forty different college courses in Philosophy and other subjects. On September 1, 2001 World Peace Communications was incorporated as a nonprofit organization for educational, literary, and charitable purposes.
