"VISIONS"
October 18-19, 2002 -- 4th 24-Hour World Healing Peace Vigil
(These are the responses written on the flipcharts by participants before going into, or after coming out of the meditation room at the 24-Hour World Healing Peace Circle in Ann Arbor, Michigan.) [flipchart sheet 1 of 2] We are SO close to a Global transformation to literal peace on earth. I believe! [peace sign] I am already healed. Our planet is already at Peace. Love Is All There Is. Connections person - person spiritual - physical future - present - past here - there reality - possibility / Love\ | fear | [with slash through the 'fear'] \ Love/ ... to accept all different cultures and different ways of doing things. Embracing Change in a peaceful, accepting manner. Peace starts with love in our hearts for all peoples everywhere, once we can love without prejudice -- peace will follow unconditionally -- peace be to all!! Peace from my heart to other's Releasing all fear or anxiety Allowing Joy and Trust, Acceptance and Love. I send and receive only Love. accept change retain values. [drawing of a heart above a spiral] self-compassion reach out to others. May we all have the courage to enter into love... We are all children of the Sun & the Earth [drawing of sun shining] Let each shine fully and all enjoy each other with reverence for the whole web of being. One teacher is in all minds and he teaches the same Lesson to all. He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of God, teaching it with infinite patience, born of the infinite love for which he speaks. Peace starts by Accepting each other. Life is all about cycles and rhythms. It is our _privilege_ to have been born in a time of chaos and strife, so that we may work together to bring things back into balance. ------------------------------------- [start of second flip chart sheet] Justice for everyone -- political, social, economic. Peace & Justice Compassion Everything we see is human: The dark, the light, all of it. But deep down, if everyone were happy already, there'd be less conflict, less grasping, less need to take out of life. Do happy loving men want to fight? No Amigo, they don't. Each of us must Choose to love. Wise men have taught us the way, but we cannot wait for Gods & sages to transform us. We must love! The 'evil' are misguided, at heart they feel like victims. Hate is their protection & revenge for past hurts. Do not separate yourself from others like them. They are to be pitied. Love/yourself/others. The vision: If you + I + all couldopen our hearts, + choose to love, all could be solved. May I be happy May I be peaceful May I be free May my friends be happy May my friends be peaceful May my friends be free May my enemies be happy May my enemies be peaceful May my enemies be free May all beings be happy May all beings be peaceful May all beings be free. A vision of TRUE democracy. Where people chart actions. Where peace prevails. Where MONEY is not a central value & happiness is. Where ALL living beings are valued.
