265What about the environment%u2014ecology? This seems so huge%u2014how could anything one person does make a difference?The impact of humankind on the planet is the result of everyone%u2019s decisions%u2014all the individual choices and priorities of all of us taken together.Our decisions depend on our consciousness, and with TM everyone naturally gains a broader vision. We already try to do what is best for ourselves and our family, but with narrow vision it%u2019s harder to see what%u2019s also good for other people and their families%u2014much less for the plants and animals, the ecology, and the future we create for our children.The TM program helps us gain a greater appreciation of nature and the ecology, and this naturally inspires taking greater care of the environment, and nature as a whole.Learning TM yourself helps ecology and the environment in two ways.You will be making better decisions and thus contributing to everything about ecology and the environment working together. Your brain will become more and more able to calculate not just for your benefit, but also for the good of the whole.Plus your clearer, more coherent consciousness will be contributing to better world consciousness, so that everyone will be making better, more long-term, kinder and more nourishing decisions.World peace is another huge issue and it%u2019s hard to see how one person can affect anything that big. Yet research clearly shows just a few people doing TM and its advanced programs regularly can literally change life%u2014from war, difficulty, and suffering to peace, cooperation. From war to working together for a healthy planet and a rich, harmonious life for everyone.
