Several things will need to change in order for this to occur. First and foremost, people will have to give up their affluent lifestyle. Then, it will be necessary for people to reestablish a connection to the Earth.

The level of affluence in the country causes many of the country s problems.
Affluence starts in the crib, and continues throughout each individual s lifetime.
People are taught as they grow up to lust after material possessions. It doesn t matter what the background of the individual is, but he or she is exposed to innumerable messages every day.

Material items are often used as rewards for good behavior, or an item is denied a child if the child misbehaves.
