Sustainability through a Heavenly Economy

Sustainability is a challenge for emerging nations or those that have already reached the highest level of material growth for their economies. It is also the quest of environmentalists and the goal to be attained by the administrators of the Earth...

Human Distraction, Denmark, and Destiny

Human distraction with regard to its own survival can be appalling at times. The admirable movie War and Peace, of 1956—inspired on the book of the same name by the renowned writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)—gives an example of it,...

We Are All One

Source: A Good Will reflection taken from the January 14, 2014 edition of the "Jornal de Brasília" newspaper.

In the Field of Good Will, we cultivate the divine part that exists in all individuals, waiting to be awakened to become effective in writing the script of their own evolution. Therefore, we preach the Ecumenism of Fraternal Feelings, which transcends everything, of those who yearn to unite in building a happy future.

One day Science will expound what universalist mystics already perceive: “We are one.” Yes, we are all one!

Let us be one in order to ensure the survival of this mistreated planet. Let us be one so the water does not become hopelessly polluted. Let us be one so that, together, we can, by scientific means, find the cure for diseases believed to have been eradicated, but which are reappearing, and for the new ones that manifest themselves, driving many people to despair and making entire populations suffer. Let us be one, since we must understand that—even when we are moderately intelligent and however humble and simple we may be—we have only one dwelling: Earth.

Let us also be one so that the animals of the ocean—as described in the Second Plague of the Apocalypse of Jesus 16: 3—do not become extinct: “The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing in the sea died. . . .”

The Gospel of Jesus according to Matthew 26:41 clearly recommends that we “pray and watch,” in other words, trust God and earnestly work to make things truly better.

José de Paiva Netto (1941-2025), a writer, journalist, radio broadcaster, educator, composer, poet, the President Emeritus and Consolidator of the Legion of Good Will, and Spiritual Leader of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. He was an effective member of the Brazilian Press Association (ABI) and the Brazilian International Press Association (ABI-Inter), a member of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Union of Professional Journalists of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Union of Writers of Rio de Janeiro, the Radio Broadcasters Union of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), and the Academy of Letters of Central Brazil. He became an internationally recognized author in the defense of human rights and in his concepts of Ecumenical Citizenship and Ecumenical Spirituality, which, in his own words, represent “the cradle of the most generous values that are born of the Soul, the dwelling of emotions and of reasoning enlightened by intuition; the atmosphere that embraces everything that transcends the ordinary field of matter and comes from elevated human sensitivity, such as Truth, Justice, Mercy, Ethics, Honesty, Generosity, and Fraternal Love. In short, the mathematical constant that harmonizes the equation of spiritual, moral, mental, and human existence. Now, without the understanding that we exist on two planes―not only on the physical plane―it will be difficult to build a Society that is truly Ecumenical, Altruistic, and Solidary, since we would still be ignoring that the knowledge of Superior Spirituality elevates the character of creatures and, consequently, leads to the construction of the Planetary Citizenship.”
