Alliance For A New Humanity |
"A Human Being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our own personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein
Puerto Rica, 2nd - 4th December 2004
Einstein's task describes the work of The Alliance for a New Humanity, which holds its second Forum in Puerto Rica in December. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Arun, and Robert Redford are among those invited to speak. Former Vice President, Al Gore was at the inaugural Forum last year.
The Alliance was founded by two Nobel Peace Prize winners, former President of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias and Betty Williams along with Deepak Chopra, Robert Kennedy's daughter, Kerry Kennedy-Cuomo and others including the President of Puerto Rica's Senate. The Alliance says it is working to connect those who strive for peace, social justice and ecological balance. They want to create a critical mass of social consciousness so that public policy is founded on compassion, the inherent dignity and oneness of all human beings, and a nurturing relationship with nature. They say a new humanity will emerge from a global change in perception and a vision of unity in diversity that engenders selflessness in our actions towards others.
