Sustainable Living (B.S.)

Inner Sustainability

Sustainability is about creating a thriving world in which we lead rich, productive, and fulfilling lives — without depleting the environment or ourselves.

Problems aren’t solved on the level of the problem — we must address the root cause. A polluted environment is the result of “polluted” minds — incoherent, fragmented thinking and action. Thus, real sustainability begins inside each of us, by purifying our own hearts and minds and helping others to do the same.

To meet our responsibility to current and future generations, we must connect with our own inner nature. MUM’s Consciousness-Based education and Transcendental Meditation technique expand your awareness and help you realign to act in harmony with nature.

Albert Einstein“Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.”
— Albert Einstein
Nelson Mandela“You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.”
—Nelson Mandela
James Allen“What you are, so is your world. Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience. It matters little what is without, for it is all a reflection of your own state of consciousness. It matters everything what you are within, for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly.”
— James Allen, philosophical writer of inspirational
books and poetry, 1864-1912
John Cage“I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.”
— John Cage, composer, philosopher, poet, and artist, 1912-1992
