WELCOME! MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH

Principles of the Peaceful Worker
by Des

As peace warriors we must firstly empty our cups of knowledge. A mind that is full of knowledge has no room for learning and cannot absorb anything else. The peace warrior is engaged in the moment; the moment is all the time that there is to act within. If all our focus is on the goal, then how can we focus on what we have to do to get there? We are interested in the process of learning and not the goal or the product.

As peaceful warriors we must know our limits before we can find ways to overcome them. We don’t compete with others to gain success in our lives, we forge ourselves by looking in the mirror in order to see clearly what the cause of our own ignorance is. Like the river we must go with the flow – some of us may be going against the flow, but yet are still carried along by it. As warriors of peace our thoughts and actions are simultaneous. We act within the choiceless awareness of the moment, our instincts forged in the fires of our spiritual training.

COMPASSION
by David Sparenberg

The pure and sweet souled
man
Mahatma Gandhi
commonly said,
"I am a Hindu and a Moslem,
a Christian and a Buddhist.”
In his ashram
at daily prayers,
Gandhi prayed
to include all faiths.
We too would benefit
greatly
from his lesson
in tolerance and participation.
Truly
the essence of
all religion is compassion.

Can we say:
I am a human being,
living here, in this time, in this
space, a citizen of the world;
an integral and engaged member
of this One
Earth Global Village.
I am a Hindu and a Moslem,
a Christian and a Buddhist,
a Pagan and a Jew.

I am one
with all compassion,
with all genuine love,
with authentic integrity,
for freedom for justice,
for peace and for honesty,
affirming dignity
protecting diversity
in nature and of cultures.

Wherever there is humility
and an open heart,
I am, in my soul.
Wherever there is kindness
and an open hand,
I am with these
unconditional hands
of flesh and life-giving energy.

I am food
and I am water.
I am air
and I am light.
I am many
and I am only one.
One
is the phenomenal power
of cosmic unity.
.
Where a voice is necessary,
I shall be
a steadfast word.
Where an ear is called for,
I shall be the foremost
listener
of heartfelt concern.
Where eyes are required,
I shall bear witness
with uncompromising vision.

There is no purpose
here, in this life,
greater than devotion and praise.
There is no path
for the mortal sojourn
more worthy
than the way
of expressed compassion.

Truly,
I am a child
in the family of living spirit
and in the unboundaried
congregation
of universal souls.

Like the genuine
Mahatma,
I would open my hands
and my little self,
releasing the canker
worm of violence
and welcoming the butterfly
of peace. .

Here, between my tears
and the smile
of awakened serenity,
I offer my prayer:

Generation, you,
let me stand
among us all, on this wounded
mother earth, with
naked feet,
in humility and courage,
to be who I am,
when I have understood
and transcended
the misconceptions
deceptions
and the betrayal
of who I was.

Comment by Felipe Herrera U - Tengoideas on May 13, 2009 at 8:21am: I am a peace Warrior!

I´m dedicated to spreading some good around Colombia, now Guatemala and next the world, through http:www.quienselemide.com and http://www.quienseleapunta.com , Colombian and Guatemalan expressions for something like "Who´s up to it?"

www.quienselemide.com is a social network were people can lead or support Missions that take social development to vulnerable communities starting in Colombia and going around the world under the Campaign: The New Revolution: The Independence from Violence.

Manifesto for the Independence from Violence

I Citizen of the XXI century, in unity with my brothers and sisters in a free and voluntary act, declare:

1. I forgive those who have caused me harm and ask forgiveness for all the harm that consciously or unconsciously I have caused others .
2. I choose life as the most important of institutions and commit myself to defend it under any circumstances.
3. I abjure any form of abuse, intolerance and violence.
4. I ask to immediately cease kidnapping, repression, and death.
5. I choose to love and respect my brother and my country and to express that love with my selfless service.
6. I promise to participate in generating constructive ideas for myself, for my family, and for my country.
7. I deliver my whole heart to the cause of peace, helping build a just and equitable world where we can be happy and free.

Comment by meera on May 13, 2009 at 12:12am: Ordinarily we are like prisons: WE ARE CLOSED UP WITHIN OURSELVES WITH NO OPENINGS. In a way we are DEAD. One can say we have become "LIFE-PROOF": life cannot come to us. We have created BARRIERS and HINDRANCES to life, because life can be dangerous, uncontrollable; it is something which is not in our hands.

We have created a closed existence for ourselves so that we can be certain and secure, so that we can be comfortable. This closed existence is convenient, but at the same time it is deadening. The more closed we become, the less alive we are. THE MORE OPEN WE BECOME, THE MORE ALIVE WE ARE.
