All of theese sad realities can be resumed in one word : ignorance. It's ignorance that brings fear and prejudice, ignorance that makes us believe we can spread famine in certain parts of the world to keep it under control, preventing it from becoming free. Ignorance makes us think that this is a good thing to be done, & that the misfortune of others is not bound to affect ourselves.Ignorance traps us into believing that the other one,the different one, is a threat, so it makes us feel legitimate to hate what we take as an ennemy. Even within religions this illusion is widely spread. Ignorance is the source of greed also,making us think abondance is not for all, therefore pushing us to become more selfish,by fear of missing for ourselves.

So basically,the greatest obstacles to World Peace today is to me our lack of Wisdom - wisdom from the deepest heart - which is interdependant with our drastic lack of Love.

Any action we do undertake in the name of World Peace has therefore to be inspired by a transpersonnal vision, a vision that goes beyond all that could separate people, and which emphasizes on the Unity of all Life.
Can we change the world?
Definitely

Give the world the best you’ve got

"People are often unreasonable, illogical & self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good,
People will accuse you of ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true ennemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Honesty & frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest & frank anyway.
People favor underdogs,
But fallow only topdogs.

Fight for some underdogs anyway.

But may attack you if you help them.

Help them anyway.

Again, Cher BlueMelusine, I thank you for sharing your wisdom. Yes, Peapack may be in Dewachen, I certainly hope so. And I like your description of illusion -- not 'nothingness', but a less solid reality. I think of it as one that has less integrity that I originally granted to it. For example, I would think that there was an enormity of bad happenstance - bad occurance - that had come to be, that it had an external reality.

"My car is damaged, I do not have a solution to the problem". I am upset and depressed about this situation.

It is this that I re-frame to be called: illusion.

If I release my grasp on the event, and the result of the event, and the future resolution of the event, and just 'be', without judgement, then it is this re-framed series of thoughts that I can then view as the release of illusion. It frees my thoughts and emotions to be in a healthier place, and frees me to be open to possibilities that are with less anxiety and depression. (My world is, at present, concerned greatly with freeing myself from the perspective of framing myself in terms of mental illness/health. I have a LONG way to go! LOL)

By being less greedy for immediate resolution, by being less greedy for categorizing events into good/bad, I can be more open to their possibilities. I can explore my options with less fear.

Therefore I can report to you that I have given wings to my retirement funds (they will be re-deposited in a different, safer form) because, the universe just provided us with an older, used car, at a price far lower than I had anticipated paying. I am pleasantly surprised! (Not overwhelmingly so, because things may always change, but happy that other, new possibilities have opened into my world). Is it all illusion? To some extent -- because that reality has passed by, it was yesterday, today is today, and will bring new realities. Tomorrow does not yet exist, but will bring things different than today. The unifying thread is my alaya and something that I cannot quantify or characterize: my ethics and beliefs, that upon which I stand.

Please share more with me about your studies that occured in November!

Dear friend Bleu,
Thank you so much for your words on October 30th (you are not the only one who has difficulties with computers!) Our dear friend Peapack has moved toward his next reincarnation, and I am helping him with prayers; the 49th day will be November 14th. We struggle with the mundane challenges of life: our car was damaged by a hit-and-run driver; it cannot/should not be repaired, so we must find another car. (There are no taxis, trains or buses here where I live). I tell myself: it is all a magical display, it is all illusion. But yes, it still hurts. So I accept the hurt, and then let go of it. Please make prayers that I will learn to use the practice of Dharma more often, more honestly, and face reality with 'radical acceptance' -- and I thank you. I wish you continued success with your duality studies, and again thank you for your comments to me, they are always so gentle and supportive.

Thank you, both for the link on Unity in Duality, (which I will check out next week) and your compassion/empathy about Peapack. Yes, Om Mani Peme Hung. I just checked on him, and he is still sitting, under the chest, alert, thirsty, but not hungry. (Just like my father, when he had cancer).
Yes, I think I am having more trouble with it than my cat is. If we lived at ground level, nearer to the woods, he might go off & stay there, not come back. But he is awfully attached to our need for him, and fulfilling our emptiness, that is, our emotional needs. He always seemed sensitive to the fact he was #2 cat when our other cat was alive; & he tried to move into #1 spot right away -- took a few weeks, but then we leared to really love him for himself, not as a 2nd best alternative. So, now we reap the harvest of attachment: the sorrow of parting at life's end. I have to makemyself calm, less attached, with less physical contact than I would want or that I think he would want, so as to encourage him to let go. I mean, when he actually asks for affection, I do not deny him. But, once under the chest, I do not 'pester' him. I check on him every 2 hours or so, to replenish his water. He is still able to crawl out if/when he wants to socialize. Sounds cruel, but I am told it is for the best to begin to give him more time to himself, less external stimulation. On the other hand, I want to just lie down next to him, letting my hand just touch him, and say mantras . . . .
So difficult to know what to do . . . (I also must do some financial stuff for a few hours today . . . ). [audible sigh].
Do enjoy your seminar. Let me know how it goes. And again, thank you for your wishes.

What an intriguing topic, "Unity in Duality?" I'd like to hear more. I spent Peace Day on a decommissioned Battleship - the New Jersey - at a 70th Birthday Party for a History buff (my husband's cousin). It felt strange, but the good feelings of being near family I loved outweighed the heaviness of being near the weapons. I could not go on the tour because right now, I cannot walk very much.

I think what I do is more reflection, and contemplation, than actual meditation. It is really a conscious thing, an intellectual thing, at this point in my life. I haven't been able to really meditate since we moved into this particular place (3 years ago, September) Having had a dedicated meditation room in the past spoiled me!

I am so glad you got to hear teachings this past weekend.

Dear BlueMelusine,
Thank you for joining our group, Peace begins with Compassion. I hope you forgive me for being so bold as to send you a friend invitation right away, but your comment on our site was so refreshing it just felt right! You have a most beautiful homepage.

This past year I have responded well to using the Dharma path to guide myself out of depression. Although I need medication (for the time being), it is bringing the consciousness to the present, and becoming less attached to outcomes, judgements, and things not under one's control that really heal the mind.
