The Twilight Zone or the dusk country where the abused children are left behind to survive.

It is the country where the victims of the child abuser are left alone to endure. It is the country that we the adults not yet have recognized still less marked on the map.

Many are those who try to function as ”map reader” for both the media as well as the politicians. But they find only to extreme cases, at best. Media eyes are always attached only to sell single copies of the newspaper and achieve a high numbers of viewers

Poems about Peace

"Poetry is an act of peace. Peace goes into the making of a poet as flour goes into the making of bread."

-- Pablo NerudaWage Peace

Wage peace with your breath.

Breathe in firemen and rubble,

breathe out whole buildings and flocks of red wing blackbirds.

Breathe in terrorists

and breathe out sleeping children and freshly mown fields.

Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.

Breathe in the fallen and breathe out… Continue

THE MAKING OF PEACE: A POETRY BROADSIDE SERIES

The Night Our Troops Invade

Believing myself a citizen of peace,

I go outside to commune with the stars.

A handful, squeezed between tall dwellings,

blink, inscrutable as the Great Sphinx,

older than any human nation.

I wonder about all those dark years,

the millions of years light traveled

to reach my eyes at this very moment,

all the lives that rose and fell therein,

undocumented, ungrieved.

My reverie is broken by the eerie calls

of… Continue

Dr. Eli Lasch 1929-2009

It saddens me to inform all of our supporters that Dr. Eli Lasch, a close friend and contributor to israelseen, passed away April 1, 2009. He was scheduled to visit Israel in a few weeks for his 80th birthday celebration with family and friends.

I had known Eli for over 25 years and had seen him perform his work as a pediatrician first hand. In the 1980’s we lived in the northern city of Safed and Eli came to visit us. Our middle son Ori who at the time was just a child, was not… Continue

What PEACE means to me and you...

We can add meaning to words and for me PEACE is a great

acronym for:

People - take away people out of this earth and you literally

have an empty shell because people have an important role

to play and that is to take care of the resources and manage

them well and not to abuse it or destroy them! We are here

for a great purpose - to serve others and make this world

a better place for all people.

Ethical - it is not only important to do things… Continue

Crossing The Bridge (in a Japanese Garden)

I stand alone and inhale deeply

freeing myself from stress and worry

in this conservative, reverent place.

the cool morning air brings

a moist, earth-rich dark soil smell

to fill my lungs.

a gentle breeze shakes dew drop sprinkles

onto my shaved head.

I am at peace with the Mother.

a shallow trench worn

through the center of a large stone

by a thousand years of foot traffic

along this stroll-garden path.

I am humbled and… Continue

Discussão Internacional Importantíssima

Olá a todos,

A partir de 1980, todos os governos ao redor do Planeta passaram a escrever os nomes dos cidadãos da seguinte maneira:

JOÃO DOS ANZÓIS CARAPUÇA

e não mais como fora escrito até então,

João dos Anzóis Carapuça.

Isto significa que todos os cidadãos ao redor de todo o mundo deixamos de ser pessoas naturais, ou seja cidadãos livres e independentes, e passamos a ser pessoas legais, ou seja, propriedades dos nossos… Continue

A SPIRITUAL/LOVE CONSPIRACY

A SPIRITUAL/LOVE CONSPIRACY

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark.

But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground.

An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are

being called to a higher light...awakening!

It is a silent revolution.

From the inside out. From the ground up.

This is a Global Operation¦

Where do the Violence come from?

WHERE DO THE VIOLENCE COME FROM ?

The dream is one way to get insight in our inner pictures. The other way is our "out actions" (Utspel in Swedish.) A term that I invented in connection with my attempt to describe and analyse psychological projections in our actions.

This unconscious phenomenon when we, in our daily life lay our inner feelings of pain and fear upon other people, things and occurrences in our… Continue
