Peace within oneself Yields peace in society Yields peace in the world LOVE and HOPE Emotions Prepare for the largest “Spiritual” movement the world has ever seen. You must be at peace within yourself first to find peace in the world. We, women of the world, proclaim, we are at peace with ourselves. Are you at peace with yourself? Set an example of the level of consciousness the world should strive for. ENLIGHTENMENT - Meditation As the world grows more and more polarized, the more difficult it will be to make amends. Now, as a proactive measure, we are announcing we are joining forces all around the world to be extroverted in our attempt to show we are not enemies. This is not about blame. We want something different. Who are we to judge? In Buddhism, there are 3 main afflictions that cause suffering, ignorance, desire, and hate. The emotions that affect the afflictions are pride, anger, jealousy. We can gain wisdom through meditation – resting of the mind. Eventually humans will gain enlightenment. Hope! (See The Beauty and Power of James Carroll) People wonder, can there be a way to find peace? Is there hope? James Carroll, in the Boston Globe Op-Ed, “Discourse in the Middle East,” February 26, 2007, writing about Jerusalem, asked the most important question of all, or as he called it, the primal question, “Can we believe in the human future?” The question gets right to the source of life. Carroll puts it into simple terms and talks about hope. He wrote hope is “an act of peace.” He was referring to when war comes, people need hope to survive. We need to survive for the future. So, if we are in a war, Carroll states, “…when life and death define the boundaries, to give up hope is not an option.” “Hope is a political act. Hope is a choice.” See quotes from Stop the Next War NOW See The Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) http://www.agnt.org/ See Network of Spiritual Progressives http://www.spiritualprogressives.org/ Bow to All, Despise None - Gandhi sang these words in a song as a child.
“A genuine revolution of values means in the final analysis that our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies. This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class, and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind.”
Many people are spiritual and they can’t be left out Spirituality makes people feel good.
