Tieing it together, Peacebuilding and Deepak's 9 steps for Obama...

Spreading the word is what it's about... so here it goes:

John Wilmerding made the post here called The Theory of Active Peace

and Jean posted some words from Deepak Chopra: 9 Steps...

and I liked it.

and I'm all the more inspired.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

On the road to peace there are places where we have to stop and catch our breath and look up, slightly up and far into the peaceful future... to try to see the goal. If we're on the right path at all, then looking ahead, which is one of many things our brains are so good at, will help to show us the way.

Nobody in all the history and prehistory of humanity has been as farsighted as this post here shows that Deepak Chopra is.

Things that are "normal" and necessary" and "honorable" and have to do with the life of an average human, like economic issues are so stuck right now. The economy is feeding the war machine, polluting as it goes, taking what it wants and needs, and it doesn't care about human life, or the planet. It must be changed.

I like the tai-chi of it. It can't be stopped... it all has to be redirected. This post show us some more of where to push it all towards,,,

individuals have all the power, the power to not shoot the gun, not train with the gun, not teach the gun, not buy or sell the gun, not make the gun... if only everybody could just stop, all at once, right now... but they can't, so we re-direct, they need a new livelihood, like Deepak said: farming, helping, making other things, living.

we're pushing humanity towards peace... that way. I feel the hope.

we have to keep the children safe, and far far far away from violence. Some kinds of violence are a part of nature, and we can show them those things, at the right age. People, kids, need the truth, but we shouldn't have children out there getting scarred by growing up with war all around. Violence towards humans becomes the norm for them and that's terrible for them, us, and the world.

Can't we help them get away?

I hope the money and economies that feed the war machine and the war mongers all get redirected to peacebuilding.

we're so smart and we keep learning. we're so connected, we're so so stuck on this little tiny marble rolling through a space so vast, and we're stuck together. I hope we can make it last, and enjoy the ride and each others' company.....

it's sad really, there should be (there is) money enough for us all to live and pursue our dreams and happiness, to live as greatly as possible... with love and in the light of love,

with peace and in the light and love of it -e
