How is it that so often in the middle of the night I wake up with this obsessive thought: why are we humans destroying this Earth? What can I do to help prevent it? After my obsession with peace in the world since World War II this has become my new main obsession since the United Nations Stockholm Conference on the Environment in 1972. Humans born from the Earth, all made of Earth, instead of taking good care of the Earth seem to have taken a wrong way. See her complaints, her laments in many of my ideas. We must urgently change course if we don't want to bring an end to paradise Earth and to the further incredible potential evolution of this planet and of ourselves.

| | Robert's Golden Sayings | Our planet being round, you cannot travel without meeting other people and seeing that we all are basically the same. This will change profoundly the policies of this world.
* We absorb the rays, beauty and energy of the sun. But shouldn’t we radiate also something back? Shouldn’t we become the Radiant Planet, radiating peace, love and happiness?
* If I am conscious of the whole Earth, the whole humanity, the whole universe and eternity, am I not a richer, more intense, aggrandized being or self? Then I am truly a living cosmic unit.
* Individual consciousness
Couple consciousness
Family consciousness
Group consciousness
Human consciousness
Global consciousness
Cosmic consciousness
The last three still remain to be achieved on our planet. Individuals can have them all, without waiting for humanity.
* There are no lesser people. Each human person is an entity of divine, cosmic forces endowed with a momentous evolutionary purpose in an individual being.
* Prophets and religious leaders are mediators between individual consciousness and cosmic consciousness. Right education should help them in their task.

Greetings!
I take this distinct honor & privilege to write to you. I have your novel "First Lady of the World" with me - someone actually gifted it to me awhile ago. Finally, I am reading it and wanted to know, what inspired you to write the novel "first lady of the world"? I am very curious about it.
Best Regards,

With insight and a creative new voice, two Chicago-area 13-year olds, Stephen Sotor and Trace Gaynor, have written, edited and produced Genie In A Bottle Unleashed, a film that explores the history and consequences of the development of the atomic bomb.
From the secrets of the Manhattan Project through the horrific devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki - these two 7th graders lead a new generation who through our nuclear history; along the way they manage to interview Nobel prize winning scientists, the creator of the "Doomsday Clock," the mayor of Hiroshima and even a Hiroshima 7th grader about the legacy of the atomic bomb. Even more creatively, they also track down the proverbial "Genie" to find out why he has created such havoc. Screened at the United Nations, this 15-minute gem received a standing ovation.

Hiroshima-Nagaski, August 1945
This classic, unforgettable film features the first footage shot following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The viewer becomes an eyewitness to the bomb's aftermath, literally walking through the rubble and hospitals jammed with dying people. In August 1945 the Japanese government commissioned Akira Iwasaki, a filmmaker jailed during WWII for his antiwar beliefs, to document the effects of this new weapon. With only black and white film available, he recorded stark and often simple, but telling images of the vast destruction, such as the shadows of leaves, flowers and other objects burned onto stone. The U.S. military classified the raw footage as secret for over 20 years, before making it public. In 1970, Professor Sumner Glimcher obtained the footage and edited this film, adding a factual, eloquently understated narration. Link TV will broadcast this powerful film for the first time in more than 30 years.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
HIROSHIMA: The Original Ground Zero - The Fallout 60 years Later
Mention “ground zero” these days, and most Americans will think of the devastation at the World Trade Center on 9/11. But the term “ground zero” really originated 60 years ago, with the destruction of more than 200,000 people—mostly civilians—as a result of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Link TV’s timely film series, Hiroshima: The Original Ground Zero, we re-examine the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and its continuing impact as we consider the nuclear threat today.
60 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a bomb with the same destructive power can now fit in a suitcase. In this terrorist age, how are we managing the nuclear threat? How is our own government promoting the use of “tactical nuclear weapons” and the arming of space? Why are human beings reluctant to look squarely at the nuclear nightmare? And how can we prevent nuclear weapons from ever being used again?
In Link TV’s week-long series, Hiroshima: The Original Ground Zero, we present global perspectives on the nuclear threat. The series includes Japanese, German and American films, plus context and dialogue that connects the Hiroshima experience to a new generation of Americans and highlights its relevance to the future of all humanity. Series host, Wendy Hanamura, is a Japanese American whose family comes from Hiroshima and includes several hibakusha or survivors. She has researched the long-term effects of the Hiroshima bombing and returned there this summer to take the temperature of the survivors 60 years later.
The film can be purchased through World Language.com.
