World peace circle

-

ACIR — A is ASEAN, C is China, I is India, and R is Russia.

ACIR is a vast circle in area, population and resources. It should be the great circle for world peace. By working together and with all other countries we can move away from confrontat­ion to collaborat­ion — collaborat­ion for peace, poverty eradicatio­n, justice and nature nurture.

The world has no other way to avoid catastroph­e. “We shall need a radically new manner of thinking, if mankind is to survive,” said Albert Einstein.

Now the world is at a tipping point. Tipping towards nuclear war while tipping away from world peace. Now is the time for time for humanity to use its greatest potential provided by nature. It is something that has lain dormant, waiting to be used for 200,000 years.

It is the forebrain or prefrontal cortex, the neuronal base for enlightenm­ent and goodness. In contrast to the hind brain, or reptilian brain, which has been a predominan­t factor in bringing humanity to the present point.

It is time for humankind to liberate itself from the hind brain, to switch to the forebrain and engage in a new manner of thinking.

The reason for starting with ACIR is that it is most plausible. With the greatest area of land, greatest number of population and greatest resources, ACIR should be in a position of strength and confidence. Weakness and fear lead to violence and war.

Other groupings can do the same and work with ACIR. In this manner of collaborat­ing for peace, no country is at risk. All maintain their dignity. In contrast to warmongeri­ng which has brought to the world the risk of nuclear annihilati­on.

The world has enough resources and knowledge for the health and well-being of every human being on this planet. If there is peace.
