Nelson Mandella 1994 inaugural speech

OUR DEEPEST FEAR

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you.. NOT to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around… Continue

Mahatma Ghandi - Oct 2, 1869

Ghandi - A short profile:

"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi (Sanskrit: महात्मा… Continue

SUCCESS by Ralph Waldo Emmerson

“ Success is
to know that one life breathed easier because of you,
to earn respect of honest critics,
to endure the betrayal of friends,
to leave the world a better place than when you came into it.”
(Ralph Waldo Emmerson 1803-1882)

THE COURAGE TO FORGIVE IN THE HOLY LAND

In 2004 I visited Israel and Palestine, to film for Scared Sacred, for what was to become the powerful, moving conclusion of the film. Below are some excerpts from my journal. It features a remarkable group of people known as the Bereaved Families Circle, parents of both Israeli's and Palestinians who were killed in the conflict, who have banded to together to say: enough. Enough killing. It's time to stop this… Continue

The Divinity Of Suffering

The Divinity Of Suffering By Joe And JenPosted by Christopher OV Staff Admin Article Compiler on December 22, 2008 at 10:36am

View Christopher OV Staff Admin Article Compiler's blog

There are certain times when we are in the process of transmutation of lower vibrating energies that can seem, well... a bit over the top. There are times, both as the Collective One (cosmically) and in our Individual Nows where a "shaking out" of lower vibrating energies occur.

For many… Continue

Stop the suffering, stop the apartheid, stop the oppression, of the Palestinian people. STOP the slaughtering in Gaza!

I want us to all live together in peace and harmony. This is my dream! I want Palestinians to have a chance to live decent lives with dignity and pride once again. I am so hearbroken by this new wave of massive slaughtering in Gaza (a huge outdoor walled in prison). This will not create an atmosphere of love and peace.

I hope that Israel will soon realize that Palestinians have a right to live and share this region with a state of their own too. They too deserve a safe home where they can… Continue

Trying to 'teach Hamas a lesson' is fundamentally wrong by Tom Segev in Haaretz

Trying to 'teach Hamas a lesson' is fundamentally wrong

By Tom Segev

Channel 1 television broadcast an interesting mix on Saturday morning: Its correspondents reported from Sderot and Ashkelon, but the pictures on the screen were from the Gaza Strip. Thus the broadcast, albeit unintentionally, sent the right message: A child in Sderot is the same as a child in Gaza, and anyone who harms either is evil.

But the assault on Gaza does not first and foremost demand… Continue

Let us all shine this year '09!

Because the Truth of who and what and where and how and why I am is Love, the year now finished in comparison was one of hate and death and fear and war, though none of these are true. Love is the only truth of Life and cannot be replaced but in the haze of dreams of fear and death and hate. I choose to see the world a loving place of gentleness and peace, with dreams of light and joy and peace and not of war. My mind can offer this to me when I forgive the whole idea of fear and all it brings,… Continue

The Changing Nature of Humanity

I found this article on http://www.kabtoday.com/epaper_eng/content/view/epaper/8350

Most of us are beginning to notice that something is different about the world: It is “shrinking into a small village” before our very eyes. But what most of us don’t see as easily is that the rules of our interactions have also changed.

No one knows what will happen to the economy a second from now. Experts create the most complicated models to try to predict the future based on… Continue
