Profile Information

When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?: I feel the pain in the world

What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?: War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Inflation, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom, Other

So what is it?: phobias: Xenophobia, homophobia, racism

What must we overcome to achieve peace?: Greed

More: There are resources all over the world. They can be natural resources, money, human labor, or markets, and some states will use their own military and economic might to exploit these resources in countries that have no way of repelling outside forces. Neoliberalism in South America is an example. Oil interests around the world are also a major factor. War is waged out of fear of losing these resources (or to gain these resources), regardless of who they should rightfully belong to.

Can we change the world?: Definitely

More about me: I am a member of the Milwaukee chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, as well as Progressive Students of Milwaukee, and we work to better our own community as well as end imperialism and oppression in all forms.

Promise to respect others and refrain from spamming?: Yes

Thought you might want to know about this:

My Center for Peacemaking at Marquette University (which is part of the "consortium" that supports NV Conflict Resolution in MPS) is presenting a panel of experts on NV conflict resolution for K-12 students. The program was supported last year by a $21,000 grant from Lee Thomas of Louisville. Then, this year we received a $100,000 grant from the Brighter Futures Initiative to expand our program in the MPS.

As part of this program we have put together a 3-person panel presentation. All three panelists have both academic expertise and extensive practical experience in nonviolent conflict resolution.

The panel will be on Thursday, February 26th from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 in the Alumni Memorial Union, Room 227.

We thought it would be great if you could come to this event and pass it along to everyone you know, including students and faculty.

And ... it'd be a great opportunity for us to meet face-to-face.

So ... hope to see you AND your friends there!

Simon, S. J.

However, need support let me know because our group will provide any knowledge. Fasting is very powerful to bring forth things in your life that are positive and remove anything that is negative. Fasting purifies the spirit and enhance the mind and body to a healthier and peaceful life. See below:

Know that all human hearts are welcome here, regardless of one's color, creed, condition or philosophy, because everyone is just like you and me--wanting happiness, and disliking suffering. In other words, seeking joy and freedom from suffering is the birthright of all living beings.

The word 'spiritual' has many connotations, but all of us who've done prolonged, skillful fasting know our mind is clearer, sharper and more efficient--a greater clarity of consciousness. By using this fasting-enhanced clarity, our journey into the human interior can reward us with many essential correctives to the extreme materialism of our external culture and its dominant sciences. Also, just as our own inner-mind becomes clearer, our own extrasensory instinct becomes keener. Thus, we find ourselves more in tune with the gentle voice of Nature and its Natural Laws. And so, the increase in energy prolonged fasting confers is our own reward for getting back in touch with these so-called Laws of Nature.

World Peace and World Love

1. Wars and rumors of wars (Palestinians and Jews), 2. Ecology (Planet is dying), 3. Suicide, 4. Earthquakes, 5. Killings. The devastation must stop at all cost! We will all become extinct.
