FEAR….False Evidence Appearing Real!

Many of us are unprepared for life’s challenges. Often, we tend to crack under its pressures. We cannot put an end to life’s challenges. We have no control over the outer universe. We cannot say for certain that we can prevent anything from happening in and around our lives. But we can face these challenges without being incapacitated by a sense of despair.

Why do we FEAR…….? Fear arises from doubt and from the UNKNOWN. When we have doubts about something It opens the door to fear. When we… Continue

PAZ

Poco a poco entre banderas

de muchos colores avanzan

y hasta nosotros llegan

corazones inquietos que aman,

corazones que en lo profundo llevan

un mensaje de paz y esperanza,

corazones sin fronteras.

En un mundo de guerras,

de egoísmos, de puertas cerradas,

de hambre y tristezas,

una voz muy fuerte clama,

romped las cadenas que encierran

tanto odio y llenad de esperanza,

de… Continue

Su silencio

Miguel estaba ya cansado de llevar la cabeza inundada de ese silencio áspero que sabía no era más que un disfraz de cal puesto encima de un muro vibrante de grafittis.

Los ojos vidriosos, la espalda pesada y la cintura anudada por un corsette invisible pero asfixiante le pesaban todos los días como un recordatorio agobiante de que quizás, sólo quizás, el camino que había emprendido hace mucho no era, como él creía, para toda la… Continue

"If Everyone Cared"

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky

Confusing stars for satellites

I never dreamed that you'd be mine

But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen… Continue

An Elder's Prayer for Peace

By Grandfather William Commanda

Inherent in the prayer of the Indigenous Nations of Turtle Island is the deep knowledge that we are all connected –my people in the east say GINAWAYDAGANUC. The prayer is a celebration of the profound knowledge that we are connected with the each other, as well as with the chief elements–Mother Earth, Water, Air and Fire–the animate and inanimate, the plants and animals and the larger universe, connected energetically.

Spirit embraces and… Continue

In my mind peace is . . .

. . . as simple as understanding that religion and/or spirituality is not rooted in violence of any kind. Peace is having the ability to understand a simple concept that is also proven--

The concept---we are all connected, as we have all come from the same resource: GOD/DESS of the Light! The former may or may not be easily digested but I ask you to consider the following:

When you encounter some person that you find an immediate… Continue

DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT AGAIN TO INTERFACE!

DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT AGAIN TO INTERFACE!

Through all of these networks I was wondering if we REALLY take the time to reachout to others to explore and learn about who we are as peoples on this planet?

Or are we just spinning in circles and not holding still to listen what is going on???

Have you've made the connections that will OPEN up your world?

Have you've YM anyone in your networks for friendship & business?

How have you expanded as a… Continue

The court Arabs

By Gideon Levy, Ha'aretz

When a distinguished foreign delegation would come to Israel, Shimon Peres would ask us, his aides, to make sure also to invite sheikhs Jabr Moade and Hamad Abu-Rabiah. Peres wanted his guests "to see some kaffiyehs in the audience." That was a long time ago. Many words and much blood, too, has flowed since them. Abu-Rabiah was murdered by Moade's sons over a Knesset seat and… Continue

¿Qué es la Meditación Zen?

¿Qué es la Meditación Zen? por Dokushô Villalba Roshi.

El término japonés Zen es una transliteración del término chino Ch'an, que a su vez es una abreviación de Ch'an-na. Este es una transliteración al chino del vocablo sánscrito dhyana. Dhyana podría ser traducido como "absorción" o "reabsorción". Para comprender este concepto podemos tomar el ejemplo de las gotas del rocío matinal. Estas gotas son una condensación de la humedad ambiental.… Continue

The Facets of Peace - 1

09-16-08 - 7:40 a.m.

Peace is more than the absence of war or conflict. It is a state of equanimity, joy, and happiness. How can we feel we are at a state of peace when we are hungry, ignorant, oppressed, or tortured? I say "we" because we are all one. All true religions teach that there is no separation of the spirit. Even physics has shown that we are all part of the same energy coursing throughout the universe. Buddhism teaches the concept of interdependence. "This exists because… Continue

Maura

I am living in this remote, peaceful little village at the Irish west coast.

And I am just back home from visiting my dear neighbor Maura who is staying in her car, surrounded by supporters and police, outside the gate of the corrib gas project.

She is on day 9 of a hunger strike!

She loves her homeland and has vowed to protect it with her life.

This is happening right here, on my doorstep.

And I want you all to know about it.

The pipeline Shell is planning to… Continue

Un bosque de cristales

Se abrió de pronto esa puerta a otra realidad y me sentí de nuevo en casa. Los árboles me saludaban con hojas de estalactitas talladas desde un corazón de esmeralda que palpitaba a través de esos capullos transparentes. El agua se colaba a través de esas ramitas hechas de perlas y facetas diamantadas y florecía en miles de cristales. Los rayos del sol rebotaban de un gigante a otro y hacían de ese bosque la casa de los mil espejos, donde yo me veía… Continue
