Welcome to my blog!

Greetings and blessings...
My first posting is my "Prayer for the Third Millenium", first published in the June Ezine from Mystic Promotions in 2001. And because PEACE is the biggest world crisis we face, and GLOBAL WARMING is the greatest crisis of our generation, this site will promote peace and global consciousness at every turn. The second posting is my recent essay, written during the Israeli-Lebanese War of 2006 called "Must There Always Be War?". Please feel free to share and comment on these issues.

"Prayer for the Third Millenium"

Let us take the time, offered as a prayer and a promise,

to inscribe on the clean slate of this pure, unsullied 1000 years,

our highest motivations to manifest Divine potential

by living every moment in radiant Love.

Ever conscious of the Divine in-breath and out-breath, thinking purely, with compassion, honoring Truth, acting with grace, kindness and charity in every moment, hour, day, and decade with which we are blessed, we reveal our Divinity throughout this Earthly life.
May we bear in our minds and hearts the wisdom of unity, the knowing that all life is One, respect for all species and Mother Earth, with intolerance of unrighteous, ego-dominated planetary corruption or exploitation in any form.
Our prayers include pleas for strength to serve the Divine, patience and moderation in our daily affairs, as well as gratitude for all the blessings we recognize in our lives as we enter this challenging new era.
We pray for continued Divine protection as the turbulence arising in the years to come increases, and are grateful for the care we have always received from the higher powers.
With gratitude to life itself...blessings to Earth and all that moves upon it.

"Must There Always Be War?"
We can choose to end all fighting everywhere. All war. Oh yes we can. It is said, "The only way to have peace is to BE peaceful." The only way to get more love is to be more loving.
What we give, we get. What we send out, comes back.
When we are taught from birth to respect all life, in all its' forms, colors, manifestations...
When we come to realize the interconnectedness of the life force, the entire web of life, throughout infinity, the created constantly arising from and receding into the uncreated ground of being...silence to sound, stillness to motion, movement to rest...
When we transcend duality and feel the deep peace in our hearts that is our birthright, when we truly experience the divine in all sentience, when our gratitude inspires devotion with humility always, and fully living the truth and beauty of the present moment has allowed us transparency...
When we become aware of the bounty of Earth, and our place and obligations here, and realize that there is enough for all life to not only survive but thrive if we only take care of our planet...that it is a question of distribution of goods and services, wealth and resources...with kindness of intention and benevolence of thought, compassionate action and generosity of heart, we manifest abundance in our little world.
But here lies the rub.
We who have aged and gained a little wisdom are too old to do anything about it! By the time we have come to these realizations, we are old. You rarely meet an enlightened twenty-something. No one listens to us talk about the true stuff. So inevitably we, as a species, are bound to repeat our mistakes, millenia after millenia.
And we forget.
So quickly we forget! By the time we are seven, most of us have forgotten everything our subconscious and supraconscious can recall of truth. Since our parents don't remember either, they're not much help. And our lives pass by so quickly, we don't believe it is over by the time Death comes for us. What a shock! We've come and gone so quickly!
So it up to the teachers -- as always.
Education is the key. If we need to be reminded, and we do now more than ever, let those of us who have gained some of this wisdom expound it to the rest of us. We need to be reminded...we need to learn. Over and over again. Generation after generation. Person to person. Millenia upon millenia. It is in the forgetful times that we choose war.
We need to see the big picture. There is enough for all. And we need to love one another. It's that simple.
As most wars are (un)holy wars of some sort, it is this "my God is the one true God" mentality that dominates the scene. It is a scene played out mostly by the testosterone-fueled power trips of a few arrogant, egotistical, radical religious extremists of many colors, from all over the world. East or West, war erupts. But what war was ever started by a woman? For reasons as varied as private gain to world domination, war arises from the small-minded men who are not raised to respect all life because they themselves did not actually give birth. But the women always respect life, and then are forced to endure the loss of those precious sparks of the divine on the battlefields of this poor planet.
Haven't all the great traditions advocated love? What is all this fighting for that love alone can't cure?
So we see, war is man's business. But we are all taught to live in fear, for the most part. A fear of lack of abundance in one form or another. Fear breeds greed and many other ego-based human conditions. Where are the mothers who are teaching their sons peaceful ways? Is it only those of us who are raised Quakers, Buddhists, or pacifists who live fully in peace and bring their children up in peaceful practice? Peace arises from the stillness of the ground of being from which abundance also arises. Call it what you may (although to name it is to diminish it). Peace is not to be feared. Peace is never boring. Peace allows love to flow, permeate and dominate.
Where there is love, there is no war.
May we always choose love.
