don't believe everything you think .. ! great thought.

the way all of this feels to me right now is -- our real best hopes are led forward through a process of "co-creativity" -- through which our visionary mental/conceptual growth evolves through relationships and connections with other people. many voices, many skills, many layers -- in one holistic process that transcends any one of us, and is held together through -- something from deep spirit, something very natural...

When we truly feel the Love that we are, we become radiant with Joy, and are naturally peaceful. This is our natural state of being, it is all any of us really want. Once we taste it, that is it, nothing will ever satisfy like it. So I am very happy Nicholas to post my joy and my peace here, as I do feel the love that I am...since having and being are one, I can then give of it and thereby receive it as well. I do not have to question whether the feelings I have for my brothers are 'ok' based on 'who' they are...because who we all are is the One Love that IS, and it is the safest and most natural thing for me to love my brother as my self, because it is the only way for my joy to be full...and when we are full of joy, are we not at peace as well. This is the answer for all of our seeming problems today. Those who are not peaceful, and feel that action in the world will give them this peace could have a long way to go, but that due to the intent will finally 'get there.' We must truly join with our brother, as they are, where they are, at the level at which they can join so we can lift each other up, higher and higher...until we both recognize our perfect equality...nothing else will ever give us peace. If I think you are richer, smarter, a better person...I will forever compare my insides with your outside, and feel wanting...but if I am honest and truly seek my own worth within, and ask to be shown my true Self, I will be given what I ask for, as it is in line with what Love (God) wants for each of us, to know ourselves as Love knows us. When we access the real Love that we are, there is nothinig we cannot do, for we go with all the power of Heaven and earth within us, and we will be shown what to do and how to do it, every step of the way. Love is truly the power that runs this whole wide creation, and we are blind and deaf and dumb until we recognize that It is Who we Are, and It is Who my brothers and sisters Are as well. No one is left out, all are included, and together, we go hand in hand thru eternity, as One. Have a loved-filled Life Nicholas, hope you liked the post!!

NIce to meet you Nicholas, I love the call to the Now in your page, with true forgiveness of the past, all of it, and letting go of the future, all of it, we are suddenly in a new field of awareness and light, which quickly brings our natural state of peace, as we have met its conditions. As Love, we naturally want to join and be part of what we 'see' as our reflection, we are now seeing more clearly the truth of who and what we are as Love, and wanting only that. This gives us the peace that passes understanding, for we are joined in the only state that is whole, perfect Oneness, all duality and fragmentation is past, and only peace is here at all....Peace to you Nicholas, Peter

"They say love hurts.

That's not the truth.

Betrayal hurts,
Rejection hurts,
Loneliness hurts,
Losing someone hurts.

We confuse these things... with love.

Reality is, LOVE is the only thing
in this world that makes us feel
wonderful again...

i want wonderful

I am pleased to send you an article on the need for reconciliation bridge-builders in areas of tensions and conflicts as in eastern Congo. Just as world citizens had pushed in the 1950s for the creation of UN Forces with soldiers specially prepared for peace-keeping service, so now we are again pushing for a new type of world civil servant. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal have all contributed actively to military-peacekeeping forces. Perhaps these same countries can take a lead in forming reconciliation teams. Your support and advice would be most appreciated. With best wishes, Rene Wadlow

East Congo — Need for Reconciliation Bridge-Builders

Rene Wadlow



On bridges are stated the limits in tons

of the loads they can bear.

But I’ve never yet found one that can bear more

than we do.

Although we are not made of roman freestone,

nor of steel, nor of concrete.

From “Bridges” – Ondra Lysohorsky

Translated from the Lachian by Davis Gill.



Violence is growing in the eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, basically the administrative provinces of North and South Kivu. The violence could spread to the rest of the country as Angolan troops may come to the aid of the Central Government as they have in the past while Rwandan and Ugandan troops are said to be helping the opposing militia led by Laurent Nkunda. While Nkunda and his Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP) say that they are only protecting the ethnic Tutsi living in Congo, Nkunda could emerge as a national opposition figure to President Joseph Kabila, who has little progress to show from his years in power.



There is high-level recognition that violence in Congo could spread, having a destabilizing impact on the whole region. UN diplomats, led by Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, have stressed that a political solution — not a military one — is the only way to end the violence, and they are urging the presidents of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Kenya and Tanzania to work together to restore stability. The instability, along with Congo’s vast mineral and timber riches have drawn in neighboring armies who have joined local insurgencies as well as local commanders of the national army to exploit the mines and to keep mine workers in near-slavery conditions.



The United Nations has some 17,000 peacemakers in Congo (MONUC), the UN’s largest peacekeeping mission, but their capacity is stretched to the limit. Recently, the General in command of the UN forces, Lieutenant General Vicent Diaz de Villegas of Spain resigned his post after seven weeks — an impossible task. Their mission is to protect civilians, some 250,000 of which have been driven from their homes since the fighting intensified in late August 2008. The camps where displaced persons have been living have been attacked both by government and rebel forces — looting, raping, and burning. UN under-secretary general for peacekeeping, Alain Le Roy, is asking for an additional 3,000 soldiers, but it is not clear which states may propose troops for a very difficult mission. While MONUC has proven effective at securing peace in the Ituri district in north-eastern Congo, it has been much less successful in the two Kivu provinces.



The eastern area of Congo is the scene of fighting at least since 1998 — in part as a result of the genocide in neighboring Rwanda in 1994. In mid-1994, more than one million Rwandan Hutu refugees poured into the Kivus, fleeing the advance of the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front, now become the government of Rwanda. Many of these Hutu were still armed, among them, the “genocidaire” who a couple of months before had led the killings of some 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda. They continued to kill Tutsi living in the Congo, many of whom had migrated there in the 18th century.



The people in eastern Congo have lived together for many centuries and had developed techniques of conflict resolution, especially between the two chief agricultural lifestyles: that of agriculture and cattle herding. However, the influx of a large number of Hutu, local political considerations, a desire to control the wealth of the area — rich in gold, tin and tropical timber — all these factors have overburdened the local techniques of conflict resolution and have opened the door to new, negative forces interested only in making money and gaining political power.



UN peace-keeping troops are effective when there is peace to keep. What is required today in eastern Congo is not so much more soldiers under UN command, than reconciliation bridge-builders, persons who are able to restore relations among the ethnic groups of the area. The United Nations, national governments, and non-governmental organizations need to develop bridge-building teams who can help to strengthen local efforts at conflict resolution and re-establishing community relations. In the Kivus, many of the problems arise from land tenure issues. With the large number of people displaced and villages destroyed, it may be possible to review completely land tenure and land use issues.



World citizens were among those in the early 1950s who stressed the need to create UN peace-keeping forces with soldiers especially trained for such a task. Today, a new type of world civil servant is needed — those who in areas of tension and conflict can undertake the slow but important task of restoring confidence among peoples in conflict, establishing contacts and looking for ways to build upon common interests.

So, we don't seek truth for it is always and in all ways here; it seems necessary, however, to seek for those things which block us from truth's awareness....-:) and this 'seeking' is rather easy when facilitated gently by one thought sincerely held: i don't know what anything including this means, therefore i don't know how to react, and i will not let my past experience be the light that guides me now....

this opens the mind, your fiction may then be seen for what it is....; offer no resistance to it, neither condemn yourself for attending upon it...merely, smile in the realization that it was nothing....-:)

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for reading my writing. I've read all of Jamison's (non-academic) publications....interesting to find a quote from her on your page....; that particular quote succinctly defines an often used formula for increasing the state of mind called confusion....; ironic that she seems to be using it as an apparent way to foster distance from anxiety...; following that strategy actually creates a denial loop which simply hides the issues from the perceiver; much easier to identify a conceptual framework where one need not distance themselves from anything....-:)

again, thanks for reading my work and I am honored to be your friend....

Nash
