what is necessary and a very important change for us today and the future is our conscience, and this requires global consciousness necessary for our long term needs and survival, we need a faith that will compel us to unite to address the problems of survival, in the future, a few thousand years from now the glacial period cycle is due, earth will no longer be hospitable and we either have to immigrate to other planets or, develope a system that will protect us, the natural calamities like floods, typhoons, sub zero temperatures, will become our big problem in the future, so we need a religion that will guide our conscience from simplistic self survival towards a more holistic view of reality.Our oneness with ourselves and Him is the primary tenets or doctrines of this religion.
