first I'd like to than rose for the beautiful logo.

the idea for this group sprung to my mind after I receive a message from Mohamad sh.

he wrote:

Dear everyone,

As you all see my list, i have a 120 friends, part of them palestinian, others from israel and also some from other arab countries and others like USA , EU, and more, i would like to ask a sensitive question to my friends from israel, and also other are welcome to answer it: everyone of us here talking peace, and about peace, and sounds for me life on this is is so great and lovely, seems no hatred and racism, no occupation and war, from big part of the comments i read mostly we say: we want peace, and here is my question: WHEN WE SAY PEACE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS NICE WORD, WHAT KIND OF PEACE WE WANT, WHERE COULD BE OUR LIMITES, BORDERS AND WHAT CAN WE GIVE TO MAKE PEACE REAL, LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT FOR SURE NEED A DEEP THINKING TO SATISFY OUR NEEDS.
THANKS

So I answered:

That a really good question. I thank you for it, Mohamad. Peace means a great deal of different things to many people. It is a very personal question. I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.

What would I give for REAL peace? Almost everything.


Then I thought, why limit it to Mohamad's friends. It's an important question. Why not open it up for everybody in iPeace?

Last summer I attended a lecture by Arun Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) & Mairead Corrigan Maguire (Nobel Peace Prize winner) in the Scottish Parliament, here in the historic & beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Mairead spoke of nurturing & cultivating love & peace within yourself, and then sharing it. Arun quoted his Grandfather who spoke of the seed of peace. If this seed is kept in a box it will wither & die. However, if the seed is exposed to the elements it will grow & flourish!

The message is clear, share your peace & let it grow & flourish.

And, with this in mind, please embrace the philosophy behind this movement and share your passion for peace by reaching out and inviting your friends.

Hello there,
My view of Peace is first of all, people keep living their life just the way they were, just peaceful, clear minded, full of love and desire to help their neighbour.
I see people from around the world, relaxed, loving, giving, sharing, helping one another by listening to their hearts and dreams, telling them it is all possible.
People wake up in the morning, and doing what they love and came to this earth to do. I see people live in Peace with themselves, knowing, that they are exactly where they need to be, and that anything they ever dreamt of, already exists, and on its way to them. I know that from here, borders will be an old word that no one will understand what it was meant for...
Lots of love, Peace and a huge hug!
Uriel

My fellow Peacemakers-- Whatever we focus on grows--- It is time for new jobs that focus on each person's higher Soul power connections..
I long to be of service teaching people about my channeled Spiritual 911 Healing Handbook about a simple 5 step Soul Activation Process. The Handbook has true stories on how and why to use this new healing method to create new jobs that focus on the love and light energies of each person's Soul Power connections for direct divine guidance and direct contacts with holy spirits and healing from higher love and light energies. There is a spiritual answer to every human problem. The Soul Activaiton Process can find all these answers we need now directly from intergalactic Soul- inner .net Activation. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (founder of the US PEACE DEPT) believes in this simple healing and inner guidance therapy. Analogous to CPR training; except, the Soul Activation Process is for lightworkers, indigos, psychics, crystal children, and new age healers to unite and get our GOVT. to create these new jobs to reform our social services, at risk yourh programs and health care system from higher Soul-ution levels that will dispel this planet's old HURTFUL NEGATIVE ego mind paradigms. There are 300 cities that have passed a peace resolution and are looking for help to stop the violence, drug wars, abusive addictins, and help prevent suicides and .....NEED our help to unite and bring in more love and light focused healing jobs and Soul purpose jobs. The Soul Activation Process is the BEST NEW AGE- NEW EARTH -SIMPLE METHOD THAT WILL ALSO UNITE ALL RACES AND RELIGIONS VIA EACH HUMAN BEINGS HIGHER Soul Power Connections... Help me teach and grow our new love and light focused jobs --- even 4 yr. olds get this. World healing and peace via new Soul Activation jobs that focus on love and light energies AND NEW ATTRACTION FACTOR for all human bieings..... DO YOU HAVE ANY SPONSORS, CONNECTIONS, suggestions for us? Nameste,Lynn Mystic-Healerwww.angelencounters.net .

My peace is within and without...in my home and in my relationships...in greeting each soul I meet with respect and dignity and even love...the basic heart to heart connection of a smile or a touch...in the laughter on my child's face and the incredible humour of my grandchild ...in the small meaningful moments and in the sheer exuberance of life that overtakes you when everything just flows and as e.e. cummings said...all's right with the world...
My sphere of peace radiates out to all who come within it...even ex-Palestinian terrorists...now Combatants for Peace, have graced my garden and been greeted as friends...but my country has not known peace in all of the years of it's existence...and while I prayed, as I gave birth to my first sabra, that he would not need to serve his country in battle...or at all if I could help it...he did have to serve, thankfully not in battle. ....But my nephew has come home from Gaza and I wonder at the effects, physical and emotional this war will have on him...a sensitive boy, raised in a very left wing home....as it affects all of our sons and nephews and husbands and fathers...whatever you may believe about Israelis...we are not a violent people and our traditions and teachings lead us more often to tikkun olam...fixing the world...using our education and brains to find solutions to help ourselves and others...not to mention the absolute sadness and disgust at the waste of it all...we do not celebrate loss...on any side.
Peace in Israel in 1993 was greeted with euphoria and a real hope that finally we could get on with building our nation and ironing out our own lumps while our neighbours finally began their own state building...and taught their people to accept us and our state as we began to teach our own children...tolerance, conflict resolution and to create dialogue groups that sprang up all over the country to bring young people together to find their similarities...not dwell on the issues that separate us...
I began a friendship with a Palestinian artist in Neve Shalom and we had hoped to create a work together titled...the meeting place...but the last time I saw him was the day before the 2nd intifada began in October 2000 at the party my husband and I made to celebrate the long awaited birth of our child. I would drive sometimes to Nablus to visit him and his family and to view the wonderful progress in his city...including a new neighborhood in one of the refugee camps. When I asked...when do you stop calling it a refugee camp?...you have your own state now...your own TV, telephone system, car license, army and education system?!...I was told not to speak out loud...and my friend was later persecuted by the Palestinian powers that be for his peace activities and not joining the crony network of Fatah
And the PA television, religious and education services began a regular schedule of incitement to hatred and demonization of Israel in programming for young children and youths and adults...with made for TV movies of "Israeli" soldiers committing atrocities and various ancient anti-semitic blood libels...refuted over the centuries, while extolling the virtues of suicide bombers and inculcating a culture of death…even 8 year olds wish to die….
and then began the terrorist suicide bombings...in pizza places and movie theatres and discos for teens near the beach...and we all began to fear again and to separate ourselves from the fantasy of peace that we had been fed...
and we began to listen to translations of our Arab neighbours' speeches...the ones in Arabic differed greatly from those they spouted to any western ears...how many times must one hear Yitbach al yehud?...before you understand that they wish to slaughter you and your children and will not ask your politics or sympathies before pushing the button…
...and yet...I do know that there are innocents everywhere and that perhaps someday...saner heads will prevail…and that daily, we in Israel are saving children's lives…Israeli children and children from Gaza, and the West bank , from Zanzibar and from Moldova and a hundred other places…with our medical knowledge and expertise and our hi-tech achievement…and our everlasting hope of a true peace on earth…for truly we are all one…

Peace is a process that starts from deep within each person. It is for me the decision not to hate because of what others have done, it's the deliberate refusal to accept anything but respect and love to others...regardless of how they treat us...then and only then can one reach out to another with the open hand of friendship. Above all it was the acute suffering of our family that lead me to become an activist for peace.
Comment by Sabine Theresia on January 23, 2009 at 7:42pm
That's how I feel the ABSENCE of PEACE: There is a contraction in my breast and a high tension in the whole body, maybe in every cell. Sometimes, I forget breathing. My brain is restless.
And so I feel PEACE: Silence, living silence in my brain and in my body. And relaxation everywhere. And sometimes a smile, that I can't get off my face.
