Dear sisters and brothers, I have been born in a country without any religion. As a young adult I understood that a life without spirituality does not make sense. Today, 50 years later, I am convinced that the family of creation consists of divine beings with the potential to unfold endless love - independently of the controversies between singular religions.
**Each of us human beings is full of divine sparks** which may strengthen each moment during our life the fire of love and compassion toward all living beings in the universe. These divine sparks may feed the eternal dance of creation.
**Religion and science have converged during the last centuries:** Divine spirit is the driving force of all happenings in our universe. Buddha, Plato, Jesus Christ, Kabir, Guru Nanak, Albert Schweitzer and recently many Nobel Price winning physicists have expressed the same conviction:
**We are divine creators of the paradise** resulting from genesis on this planet within the living universe. Looking around the world these days, however, we observe harm, hunger, dissence, struggle and war.
How does this coexist – the potential to create the paradise on the one hand – and the destructive forces leading to a multitude of catastrophes? May be you like the following way to interprete what is going on actually:
**We are born to be tested in a learning adventure of evolution** within the cosmos. The life of each of us is an examination checking whether we are ripe for creating the paradise.
**Each generation of human beings has the chance to reach the tipping point.** Possibly todays generation, all of us sitting here, might overcome the centennial struggle on details of diverse religions and worldviews. If we today conjointly remember our potential as divine beings to create a peaceful and well balanced world - then we can make the next step of cosmic evolution – charcterized by love, peace and respect for all forms of life:
**We may give now birth to a new chapter in the process of evolution.** The time might be ripe these days. Let me give some illustrations for my optimism based on my work of the past 30 years in Germany: 30 years ago in my country most of all fuels for electricity and heating were imported. All German villages depended existially from international trusts supplying nuclear and fossil energy. The great majority of Germans relied on imported fossile or nuclear fuels. Today, 30 years later, we count [200 villages with own energy production](https://xn--energiewendedrfer-c0b.de/ttps://zukunftskommunen.de/blog/modellgemeinschaft-kirpal-sagar-indien-episoden-aus-oeko-agro-forstwirtschaft-zu-bildung-sozialem-und-kultur/) based on regional ressources which were initiated by teams of german universities, where I have been active.
During the same time the number of similar activities aiming at a regionally organized society all over the world exploded. In many countries many local initiatives were founded organizing food production, local trade, water supply and many other fields of human needs on a regional base in fair and clean ways, without any international activities of global players like MacDonald or Monsanto.
**Another world is possible** – and even better, the regional society is blossoming already since decades worldwide.
A second source for my optimism is my scientific work. Humans dispose of spiritual potentials enabling us to connect with the holy spirit surrounding us since eternal times. Individuals unfolding this potential and behaving respectfully toward other beings report higher well-being as compared to other people. That empirical pattern has been found in hundreds of scientific studies all over the world. These results feed our trust, that we are on the right way with our regional initiatives like Kirpal Sagar in India, the new energy villages in Germany, the clean and fair agriculture initiatives worldwide, the open seeds movement and the many further initiatives.
**Remembering Mahatma Gandhi, the great indian philosopher and politician:** We do not need to fight against the players of the old world, against psychopathic people in international trusts and organizations who plan a world all of us dislike. This old structure will break down by itself.
Meanwhile we build the society we prefere: Ethically grounded communities like [Kirpal Sagar](https://www.kirpal-sagar.co.in/english/index.php/en/), based on grace, fairness and respect between all living beings. My congratulation to the golden jubilee of this wonderful project, which may serve as a model for the whole world.
Let´s shake our hands, connect our hearts and let´s bring our souls in harmony within the cosmic concert of love!
