What I believe
I believe in a world where justice and peace rules, where all human beings (and not just a privileged few) will be treated with the dignity that is theirs as the children of the one God.
I believe in a world where the economy serves the people and not the other way around.
I believe that it has become even more urgent for us now to become stewards of the environment and to hold corporations accountable for their wrongdoings.
I believe in the love, justice, compassion, simplicity and deep peace that Jesus (and many great women and men down the ages) taught us - not the materialism, consumerism, avarice, hatred, violence and war that the power structures of the day promote.
I believe in people-centred globalisation - a globalisation of solidarity - not corporate-led globalisation that promotes a world ruled by corporations aided by greedy politicians, bureaucrats and tycoons acting in cahoots with one another.
I believe that real journalism serves the interests of ordinary people and holds to account the powers-that-be and their associated vested political, business and corporate interests.
Well said. I am all for it.
Cheers

There is so much of truth in what you said and i believe in that truth too.
May the Truth prevail.

In the worst of difficulties, Mother Theresa saw the play of the divine and, in serving the dying poor, she discovered the mercy of Jesus. Mother Theresa called it “meeting Christ in his distressing disguise”
An old Tibetan Lama who was thrown into a Chinese prison for eighteen years said that he viewed his prison guards and torturers as his greatest teachers. There he says, he learned the compassion of a Buddha. It is this spirit that allows the Dalai Lama to refer to the communist Chinese who have occupied and destroyed his country as, “my friends, the enemy”.
It is impossible to sin when you live in love, truth and awareness. When the majority in the society lives in love, truth and awareness, then unconscious politicians will become a thing of the past. Spirituality will be infused into politics by the group consciousness which lives in love, truth and awareness.
Our job is to raise our awareness and, if allowed to, help others raise their awareness. That will help the group consciousness to live in love, truth and awareness.
You are doing a good job towards that end.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
Blessed Be.
I believe that religion divides people. Organized religion breeds power mongering and corruption.
The ignorant need religion but the wise believe in God and respect the laws of nature as nature is a manifestation of God.
Jesus didn’t come to start a new religion but just advised people to respect God in nature.
Many christians today go to church every Sunday but are absolutely clueless about the teachings of Jesus thanks to St.Paul the Roman centurion, the Roman empire and the Roman Catholic church.
One can see how far they have deviated form the true teachings of Jesus and the Essenes. That’s why in US when parents entrusted priests to take care of their children because they saw them as role models, the priests instead sexually abused them.
The main activity of priests/ministers should be healing of the sick. This was how Jesus and the apostles evangelized. They became well known in contemporary Jewish society for their ability to heal the sick. Today our priests are busy saying masses, building churches, administering the 7 sacraments (and fainting during mass - (one priest) fainted in church one Sunday during mass. Poor chap was not taught the healing teachings of Jesus in seminary).
After killing thousands of innocent Iraqians, Britons, and Americans in their war for oil, George Bush is given a special audience by Pope Benedict and Tony Blair is baptized a Catholic by the Pope. (I feel) this was done to show Catholics worldwide that the church approves of what Bush and Blair did in their war for oil. The Axis of evil is Bush, Blair and Benedict.
DEAR JERRY,
I THINK YOU DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT..ITS ABOUT LOVE.NOMATER HOW BAD YOU ARE IN THE EYES OF HUMAN KIND JESUS IS THERE TO FORGIVE YOU AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE,TRUST AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM.DONT FORGET TOO ..THAT SATAN EVEN ASK JESUS TO KNEEL AT HIS FOOT BUT BEING THE SON OF GOD JESUS WILL NEVER DO THAT BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS.NOW , HOW CAN WE ORDINARY HUMAN BEING EVER BE PERFECT?.BY THE WAY ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN JERRY?WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH HEALING THE SICK?MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU FOR JUDGING OTHERS THE WAY YOUR HUMAN MIND JUDGE.IF THEY ARE WRONG PRAY FOR THEM.
I don’t follow the so-called “christian” teachings of churches of the world today. I only follow the true teachings of Jesus.
I’m not obssessed with healing the sick. Just following the teachings of Jesus. Didn’t Jesus always tell the Apostles to go and heal the sick in the Gospels? Liberating the people from oppressive structures in society and healing of the sick was what the Apostles did. Shouldn’t this be the main thrust of the churches today instead of focusing on building buildings, saying masses and administering sacraments?
Remember Jesus was also very critical of the scribes and Pharisees during the time of the early church.
GOLDART, you should read Deepak Chopra’s new book -’The Third Jesus’.
He talks of the 3 Jesuses in the world today.
The first Jesus was the historical Jesus.
The second Jesus was an invention of the Roman Empire to perpetuate it’s vested interests.
The third Jesus is the philosophical Jesus which many Christians don’t know because the church only accepts 4 gospels whereas there were 30 over books written about Jesus and the Apostles.
The philosophy of Jesus parallels the philosophy of Hinduism and Bhuddism in many ways. I’m talking about the philosophy, not the rites and rituals of Hinduism and Bhuddism.
jerry…
you have good observation.
Even Mohammad is mentioned in old Hindu scriptures.
pls read the Quran translation and compare.
Hi,
I found the articals you share and opinion you voice out is fair and i like your website to search and know the latest news shared without prejudice.
Rgds,
Dear All,
Jesus is the son of god in the flesh.Meaning he is the Alpha and Omega.Many during his time failed to see it, as do many even now.Even demons and Lucifer himself acnowledge Jesus as “Son of the Most High”.
I just want to point out that Jesus did not come to teach anything “new” BUT to request each to live our lives as new beings. As Saviour for ALL mankind he will be the JUST JUDGE in the 2nd Coming… So what does this mean for all of us? Simple.
Love God with all your heart, Love your neighbor as yourself.Are we doing it? Peace to all.

good writing. i enjoy your articles and support in what you believe. cheers and keep it up.
Hi Anil
A voice from the heady accountancy days of London!Very good to come across your blog site & what you stand for. With the change in regime (long awaited, but rewards come to those who are patient!)in Pg state, there’s now an opportunity to get involved with outreach work to school kids on environmental education via the deputy CM’s office. Perhaps I should email you separately about this to see if you might be interested to become involved in some way, or publicise this? (I’m still in UK by the way, but planning a trip soon to coincide with ‘the new thinking’ & see if we can contribute, even in some small way.)
‘Màs vale trade que nunca’
Look forward to hearing.
All good wishes

I like the book written by Aliran titled:
One God Many Paths
Hi Anil,
Have been reading your writing with great interest. I think Sarawak needs people like you to write about the state. It’s a pity there is none at the moment willing to forego their comfortable job and turn to freelance journalism. My salute to you.
Dear jerry, Your comments have their merits. But if you are catholic I am sure you know the church, no matter its faults must carry on the Lord’s Love (his instructions etc)and hand it back to him as unblemished as humanly possible on the last day. Therefore let us have some compassion for the humans running the church as did Jesus have for mankind.
Hi Anil,
NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOUR GOODSELF AROUND.HOPING THERE WILL BE MORE HUMAN LIKE YOU BORN EVERYDAY IN ALL CORNERS OF THIS MOTHER EARTH.
Hey Anil
I KNOW your middle name! … that’s because I remembered it from school. It’s been a long time. Have read several of your handywork in several sources. Good work buddy - keep it up.

“I believe in a world where the economy serves the people and not the other way around.”
as a businessman, i share the same belief. there are many little napoleans in the civil service hampering our growth , also we are peppered with lousy political with bad leadership skill who serve their own personal , party agenda not taxpayer’s interest.
