<div>from grandma tersing <br/> <br/>Today, 5:20 AM <br/>Dear Jyoti, <br/> <br/> <br/>I have been feeling very sad recently especially in light of recent world news. <br/> <br/> <br/>As you may have heard, the chinese are cracking down very hard on the Tibetans in Tibet. Many have died recently and we can only imagine the brutality that is going on without media there. It is a terribly sad time. <br/> <br/> <br/>The conditions in Tibet for Tibetans are terrible and have been so for many years. It was incredibly brave for the monks who began the peaceful protests against Chinese rule. The chinese are heavily armed with weapons while the Tibetans have only rocks. <br/> <br/> <br/>Please pass our mail to the other Grandmothers as we ask for their prayers during this difficult time and hope that positive actions may come to help the suffering of the Tibetans. <br/> <br/> <br/>Please can you send letters to your government representatives asking for them to condemn the killings in Tibet and ask them to help resolve the conflict peacefully. <br/> <br/> <br/>With love <br/>Grandmother Tsering Dolma Gyaltong</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>03/14/2008 16:18 <br/>TIBET – CHINA <br/>Dalai Lama “concerned” about violence in Tibet caused by Chinese repression <br/>The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and head of Tibet’s government-in-exile urges protesters not to resort to violence, calling on Beijing to respond with dialogue to the remands made by protesters. Unconfirmed sources claim that ten people have died in the clashes. <br/> <br/> <br/>Dharamsala (AsiaNews) – The Dalai Lama is “deeply concerned over the situation that has been developing in Tibet following peaceful protests in many parts of Tibet, including Lhasa, in recent days.” For our spiritual guide, these “protests are a manifestation of the deep-rooted resentment of the Tibetan people under the present governance,” this according to Thubetn Samphel, spokesman for the Tibetan government-in-exile, who spoke to AsiaNews about reports concerning clashes that have taken place near Tibet’s major monasteries. <br/> <br/>Local sources report that the Chinese army has deployed tanks in the Tibetan capital’s downtown. Anti-riot units have cleared away protesters led by monks; some have reported that “shots have been fired.” <br/> <br/>American tourists also reported they heard “shooting in Lhasa.” Some unconfirmed reports refer to ten people killed during the clashes. <br/> <br/>Some buildings in Old Lhasa are said to be on fire. <br/> <br/>For Samphel the Dalai Lama “always said, unity and stability under brute force is at best a temporary solution. It is unrealistic to expect unity and stability under such a rule and would therefore not be conducive to finding a peaceful and lasting solution.” <br/> <br/>In his appeal, the Buddhist leader called on “the Chinese leadership to stop using force and address the long-simmering resentment of the Tibetan people through dialogue.” <br/> <br/>“The Dalai Lama,” he said, also “urged his fellow Tibetans not to resort to violence.” <br/> <br/>As a government-in-exile, “we reiterate that all this is from a peaceful protest and call on the international community to intercede with Beijing so that it can immediately stop its violent repression, resulting from its attempt to deny the rights of the Tibetan people.”</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm sharing this with everyone. <br/> <br/>“Any-who-who. I walked past the vestments, many of them very nice, but nothing I have shoes for (smile) and there, in a cove for private prayer, was our Lady Lapa-Lupe (Guadeloupe). I stopped. Removed my hat gave a silent hello. In all reverence, and I'm not Catholic, I truly felt present in her presence. I addressed her as Lapa-Lupe -like we had discussed in email, about the Graces- ((I’ll explain this in a second, to you, my reader)) and then I opened up! It was a smell of roses. A feeling like my heart bloomed. I felt wonderful. My head was numb, like a vibration was running from the top of my head down and through me. My feet were pulsing. I felt very connected to the earth and at the same time to this presence. I closed my eyes. I Then saw/visualized her so clearly in my mind and there was this radiant blue and white cross on her chest. I felt like laughing, I felt like you feel when you are in love, and I felt like crying. All at the same time.” <br/> <br/>Read the full post at my site. If you have any shared experiences, I would love to hear them. <br/>http://www.lifencompass.org/live/blog/Entries/2008/3/5_%3A%3A_Lapa-Lupe_%3A%3A_love_everywhere_%3A%3A.html <br/> <br/>Love, <br/> <br/>Scott</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hello there...just thought i would pass some information on i recently discovered that feels very true to me and i thought that some of you may appreciate it, or the idea...after all, we all must be on the path of peace creation if we are here!:) <br/> <br/>I have put up a picture of the Salome peace symbol as well as the common one flipped upright in the photo section. <br/> <br/>much love <br/>joyous <br/> <br/>The Salome Peace Symbol <br/> <br/>www.theyfly.com <br/> <br/>As far as this specific symbol is concerned, please notice the familiar looking central portion of the figure with what appears to be our own familiar peace symbol turned upside down. According to the Plejaren, it is actually our peace symbol that is upside down, effectively creating a more martial, upraised sword-like image, the very antithesis of peace. This may help to explain why many "peace protests", with protesters carrying placards with the familiar peace symbol, often have a more agitated, militant (rather than truly peaceful) feeling about them. <br/> <br/>The central portion of the Salome Peace Symbol, inverted from our own, is more representative of a "Tree of Life". In fact, the entire Salome Peace Symbol can be seen to convey an upward and opening energy, a more all-embracing, peaceful image. Consider what might be possible if millions of people who sincerely desire peace were resonating with a more harmonious image, and internal sense, of true peace. How much more "powerful", in a non-aggressive way, might the collective energy be for peace when people embody the energy, essence and understanding of peace? <br/> <br/>Research done by John Diamond, M.D. has shown that, among many things, viewing certain images can have the effect of strengthening or weakening people. See: www.diamondcenter.net/. <br/> <br/>The Salome Peace Symbol can be contemplated or meditated upon to see what it evokes within each person. There is a book with many more of the symbols, with all of the captions in German, available at www.figu.org. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I was at a holiday party tonight and a woman I was talking to made the comment that, "It's really difficult to hold a space for peace in the world these days...and if you are doing so, you are really strong." It was a nice reminder of how much energy it takes sometimes to make sure we are living by our highest awareness. Especially with some of the shock waves of danger we feel from every direction. This is when we really value the peace we have nurtured inside. <br/> <br/>It is not easy lately to feel any peace when there is so much Un peaceful energy flowing around. We are all holders of peace. And we can take care of peace so that we can bring a peaceful paradigm for life into reality. <br/> <br/>These are some of the inspiring things my heart tells me to remind me of my peacefulness. <br/> <br/>Your courage is a gift. <br/> <br/>Your love is your strength <br/> <br/>You spring from the seeds of harmony and consciousness...that is ever learning and growing. <br/> <br/>Be kind to yourself and smile to your heart for keeping the peace within you alive. <br/> <br/>Peace lives!! <br/> <br/>May your heart stay strong and be a beacon of hope. Happy New Year!! <br/> <br/>With love, <br/>Jeannie Zukav <br/>December 28, 2007</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div> I don't know if you read about Samadhi before, I just learned the term in a meditation this morning at work while setting up a crystal grid. <br/> <br/>Anyway here is my blog excerpt... <br/> <br/> <br/>...So here is where I snicker.... I’m hands in prayer position because it feels most comfortable with the apophyllite, and the stones around the office are each lighting up and activating and as I do I begin to feel some of my own stuff that has been bothering me. I work here, and I’m clearing and moving the energy “here” at the office so, that I would be part of what needs to be cleansed isn’t really a surprise. (You would be surprised to know however, that most of your toxic energies that sort of hang around, build up and cause you problems energetically, emotionally, spiritually are from those closest to you, and your most regularly trafficked environments: home, office, etc). <br/> <br/>As I do, as I cleanse, I get this reminder of the buoyancy I experienced in the dream as I simultaneously feel “the world” in general. It’s a funny feeling of my mind being connected to all things and a voice in me says, “make them light”; and I breath out that feeling of joy. <br/> <br/>The apophyllite is feeling pink and turquoise and just a myriad of colors as this energy starts to radiate from it, as if a mandala is being created in the office and the voice says, Samadhi. <br/> <br/>I feel a few people instantly, His Holiness the Dali Lama, and Amma, but then I also feel these other prayers, these other people focusing on this collective sigh and buoyancy, as if we’re breathing out a bit of this greater stress and the world in turn is feeling less of the burden and more of the joy. <br/> <br/>It is as if we are all, together, working on this collective release. I hear, Samadhi, again and I breath. <br/> <br/>I feel this lightening to all things. I sense this relief. <br/> <br/>When I opened my eyes I really had to think about this one. What is Samadhi? I had to do a google search, but I am interested in your ideas about Samadhi, yo’info, because to me, it seems to mean, the self and all things are ONE thing. And that by entering into this state of oneness, “one can” add allot of love, laughter and good vibrations to the rest of the world. <br/> <br/>I’m going to continue with what I experienced, of course, because it is all part of the journey. In turn it is all part of all things, because I think too, that the world we know is within us, and if we create the change, if we breathe in the light there, into that inner world, then naturally, it will flow into all things. <br/> <br/>This is why we are taught peace. This is why we do not kill. This is why we do not harm. All that is around you, is within you, and by promoting peace within, we are seeding peace around us. By forcing harm, we are harming ourselves. <br/> <br/>Grow with the flow. <br/> <br/>Scott <br/> <br/>Full Blog at LIFENCOMPASS <br/>http://www.lifencompass.org/live/blog/Entries/2008/1/4_%3A%3A_two_of_discs_%3A%3A_dream_%3A%3A_New_word%2C_%E2%80%9CSamadhi%E2%80%9D_%3A%3A.html <br/> <br/>*commentary is appreciated. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Found this beautiful article on Wind from a shamanic perspective: <br/> <br/>The Winds Of Change <br/>While fire has more to do with purification, cleansing and transformation, wind has more to do with sweeping in the new, opening to receive, carrying away the old, and energizing with power. The winds are related to the four cardinal directions from which they come and go, the East, South, West, and North. The winds of the East carry with them fresh new ideas, light, illumination and inspiration for creative progress. The winds of the South open the heart for love and communication to flow, bringing everything to full bloom. The winds of the West help to release holding patterns and sweep away what is old or no longer needed. The winds of the North energize and infuse everything with power and courage. <br/> <br/>Like all the elements the winds have their shadow sides, their negative poles that bring difficulties, challenges and obstacles. Strong winds of the East can bring chaos and wild scattering while intense Southern winds can bring either too much or too little moisture resulting in withered crops and enervation. The powerful winds of the West can destroy all in its path while the winds of the North can freeze and howl with malevolence. <br/> <br/>The winds are not completely separate from human activities but are intimately influenced by human beings and their endeavors. For example, the wind may sigh through the trees in an area where people are grieving the loss of loved ones due to war, famine or illness. Fierce winds arise and rage in an area where human emotion is at a high degree of intensity, such as during a battle or an intense political campaign. Soft winds caress the land where people are experiencing a time of relative peace and prosperity. Energizing winds gust by creative projects and new endeavors. <br/> <br/>This makes more sense when you realize that shamanically speaking wind is a spirit form, a potential ally that can be communicated with and cooperated with in order to create a positive beneficial partnership. Destructive winds can be calmed or redirected with a respectful request, a prayer or focused thought formed energized with positive emotion. Shamans are taught to communicate with the winds in this fashion to assist with hunting, growing crops, sailing, and bringing better conditions to their people. <br/> <br/>The wind itself is a chief spirit that has different personalities or faces that we have already discussed. The North wind is a face of the spirit of wind in general as is the West wind or East winds. <br/> <br/>During these times and times to come you will notice that the spirit of wind is more influential and much more noticeable than usual. The spirit of wind is famous for bringing change and these are times of great change, especially in these first years of the new millennium. There will be positive winds that assist you in the projects and endeavors you are attempting to bring about and there will be highly destructive winds that parallel the destructive, chaotic thoughts of human beings in a various parts of the world. Look for massive hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, and tempests in record numbers and sizes to ravage areas of the Earth, forcing humans to put aside everything else in the face of their fury. Winds will bring people to their knees as well as lift them up to their higher potentials and creativity. <br/> <br/>To get to know the Spirit of Wind, be out in it, listen to it, speak to it even if this may feel foolish at first. Wind will carry you, will open you, will release you, will energize and empower you if these are your intentions and if you are in balance with yourself. If not, wind will batter you, enervate you, wither you, and even sicken you. Whatever wind does to you, it is a direct reflection of where you are in relation to your essence and in relation to how in balance you are at this time. Therefore, no matter what happens, wind will teach you about what is right with you and what is not so you can attend to it and get back in harmony. Wind is your ally, like it or not. <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>The path of least resistance describes the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths. The concept is often used to describe why an object or entity takes a given path. <br/>In physics, the path of least resistance is always taken by objects moving through a system. For example, water flowing downhill follows the path of least resistance as it is pulled downward by gravity. Electricity flowing through a circuit behaves similarly; while every available path has some current flowing through it, the amount of current through each path is inversely proportional to its electrical resistance. Atmospheric disturbances (storms) flow on the path of least resistance by flowing toward zones of low barometric pressure, where lower air density offers less impedance to the storm system than higher pressure zones. <br/>One exception to this rule is in the realm of quantum physics, where particles behave in a probabilistic rather than deterministic manner. <br/>The path of least resistance is also used to describe certain human behaviors, although with much less specificity than in the strict physical sense. In these cases, resistance is often used as a metaphor for personal effort or confrontation; a person taking the path of least resistance avoids these.

<div>Hi Everyone, <br/> <br/>Well, I posted this on my blog but wanted to post here too: <br/> <br/>Very very intense transmission of information. The Dalai Lama focused on a text called "In Praise of Dependent Origination." <br/> <br/>The Dalai Lama delivered the whole transmission in four 2 1/2 hour segments over 2 days. HH went through all 58 stanzas in Tibetan and then Geshe Thupten Jinpa, translated the text into English, specifically for HH for this event. It's important to keep in mind that many of the concepts being expressed in Tibetan probably had no English words. Thus, the Tibetan lesson was very complex and difficult (even for people who spoke Tibetan as their first language) and the English translation was very analytical and complex too. A Tibetan woman sitting next to me at lunch break told me that the English translation was easier to listen to than the Tibetan version. Even the Dalai Lama said this was a most difficult to understand talk. <br/> <br/>Also, after the 4 talks there was at least an hour long Tibetan chanting ceremony by the monks, which effected my whole body. From the moment they started chanting, I felt hot, and for days afterwards, was in detox mode. <br/> <br/>So, this was no happy happy joy joy lecture. It was an intensive learning experience that went beyond anything I've experienced thus far. As my friend told me, the transmission seeps into you on all levels. It's not just a cerebral experience. And if you are receptive, you will certainly be changed by it. It was an honor to be there. <br/> <br/>This is all for now...will write more as I feel it. <br/> <br/>Take care</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Did you ever think that if we create peace in our home that it can send out messages to all that is around us...if there is peace in our home, that maby it can make a difference in our world around us...So having harmony with ourselves and our loved ones can transmit a harmony and balance around us, out of our homes....We all vibrate and bounce off of each other, that is not new new's to many, it is known that we are constantly interacting with each other. Our minds, our bodies, our movement in life, it is always connecting. <br/> <br/>So if people strive to create that balance in their home in relationship, or just creating beauty within their surroundings of their home, dont you thing it can be sent out to all that is around us? I feel it can, the more that we work out our differences or hardships or misunderstandings in our home, I do feel it can make a difference in all that is around us...if families were to come together, to really show they care, pray together, sing, laugh, create and beautify all that they feel in being together, this possibly could make a difference in that wish for world peace....i do feel that what comes from the home and our hearts can make a difference in all of mankinds movement in life on this planet we call home, we can make it a home for peace......lovelight...lakotawolf</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Something very positive happened to me while I was getting body work and chiropractic adjustments today. I'm healing from a broken toe, and so I've been limping around for many weeks now. The practictioner noticed that my injured leg had little energy in it and was quite cold compared to the better leg that I've been relying on so much. I was aware of what he was talking about to be sure. He said, Jeannie bring the energy into your other leg, and he brought my attention to the top of my leg. I brought my consciousness to a little of my leg at a time until it filled up with energy until I got near the injury. So many eyes opened up in my leg!! Then he said, keep going, fill up that toe with love. Well, I did it, and he felt it the moment that I completed filling up my whole leg and foot. Wow, what a revalation. I cried a bit and realized that instead of guarding myself so much, and almost vacating myself where I needed help the most, instead I could be fully present and aware of myself, ESPECIALLY where there was pain. <br/> <br/>Being present for myself on a physical, emotional, thought, spirit...every level equals more awareness and love. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I tend to think of peace as being a metaphysical state that permeates our being when she is present from the inside out. But, lately I've been meditating a lot on the effect so much violence has had on my body. It creates patterns of pain, stress, and illness. And I've been listening to my body wisdom to see what I can do to help myself, and free myself of longterm old fear rhythms...chronic responses. <br/> <br/>So far I'm sensing the importance of remembering love consciousness, that lives at the center of each cell. It's not about bringing something in from the outside. It's about waking up the loving energy that's been there all along, but smothered by negative experiences. <br/> <br/>This is still a sense I'm feeling and it feels really natural. <br/> <br/>I believe that healing takes place better where love is present. Not a new idea, but one worth reminding myself of when I try to overcomplicate things. <br/> <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>2007: The Vibration of the Year for the Spiritual Other <br/> <br/>Weaving is one of my favorite words. It evokes a sense of a pattern, of energies flowing in and out, twining together to create a tapestry, an image and in our case a vibration or tone. <br/> <br/>Each year I send my senses inward to find my personal message, what it is that is coming to me in this time, what I have begun, what I am beginning and what is ending, to get a flavor, an essence of that which I have helped in the making for myself. <br/> <br/>I think, I feel, that Others, the spiritual Other, those that bring their own path into being, be they artist, healer, mother or brother, have a tone as well and I am here to bring this message; not as an authority but as a speaker. I hope you can add your voice and your thoughts about this energy as well. <br/> <br/>Otherhoodlight, as I have said, is going through some changes, and this year the awakening of the concept of this vibration that is weaving together for all of us, is a beginning. <br/> <br/>You will also find a monthly, new moon, posting, narrating some of the energies that I perceive are present in our vibrational fields, universal beams of change, cause, effect, contemplation and action. <br/> <br/>Eyes closed, sense open, feelers traveling out into the world, sensing the Spiritual Other, I perceive the Web of Light and it feels to say, "Weaving." <br/> <br/> <br/>This year of 2007, there is a call for community action. That may be coming together in groups or with like-minded friends. This strengthens the energy that we have personally, building on our power base, and it also empowers us collectively by increasing the number of us that are resonating with the healing and creative vibrations that we all tap into. Regardless of our faith, our practice or our belief, this is a strong time of collective power. <br/> <br/>Spend some time meditating on your inner self, your core and following this, focus on the greater creative source. Spend time seeking answers which lead to new paths to others and Others so that you can find where the creative force within you is guiding you. It may be artistic pursuits, music or spending more time with your family and finding the essence of that love and passion there. <br/> <br/>Meet with Others, with your contemporaries, students and teachers, share your vision, your ideas, and learn and grow together. In this way, you are weaving that personal vision into the greater vision. You are connecting intimately with that internal source and then sharing it, affirming your inner connections, stimulating your mind and finding fulfillment in the things that call you to joy. This then links you with others, Others, who are seeking and doing the same. It builds up our diverse community of many peoples, who's diversity is our beauty and our connections internally and externally, our strength. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Pink and Green. Colors are important to vibration, they are the light reflected, abstracted into a visual form that we all can perceive. They carry the power of the energy through representation and through resonance. These two particular colors respectively represent peace and understanding, and, growth and new life that is healthy and strong. They represent our peaceful and accepting nature opening to the new growth we are resonating with. <br/> <br/>Wearing these colors, in our clothing, our jewelry, even using them in our projects, paintings, even using them in our energy work (our use of the Life Force Energy through our Will) and visualizations with events, people, places and concepts will have a remarkable effect on our world. Affirming the tone. <br/> <br/> <br/>Roses and Blessings. Choose a rose this year because it represents the peace of the blessings of the power that we will all be working with. The rose may be yellow, pink, red, or even blue or purple… the color has a personal significance to how you will be working with the energy. As it is, the rose is the image of the gift we are helping to transmit. <br/> <br/>Blessings have a whole lot to do with gratitude. <br/> <br/>When we are in a place of feeling grateful for what we have, and not focusing on what we want or do not have, then we have lost the blessing way. When we enter a state of meditation or prayer, even when we go into the creative process, we find the center within that already has the abundance we are seeking… when we cannot, when we come from fear, lack, loss or sorrow, from the "I NEED" place, we help to create these things, rather than the happiness we are seeking to expand. <br/> <br/>Our world has turned into a strange direction in the last four or five years. We've lost the Rose of Blessing, and if we want to help change the events around us in our world, if we want to activate the healing on a larger scale, if we want our messages and insights to reach a greater community -and it needs to!- we need to find the place of gratitude again. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Find the Divine Feminine. There is much to be found in our female nature, women AND men. This does not equate to forsaking any other divinity that you have but instead asks for you to find your nurturing, caring, protective, receptive and feminine attributes as they will help you in receiving and then translating the vibration of the year. If you are Catholic, find Mary; Should you be Pagan, seek the Goddess or the Earth Mother. It may be that your very own female relatives represent that wholly female beauty and feminine abundance. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Not the Surges in Power. The wax and wane, the rise and fall, the light to darkness to light transitions. The feminine is about change, transformation, and the immortal nature of the invisible-yet-tangible nature within us. These are hidden gifts here that will emerge. Tools and methods that will assist you throughout the year will emerge that you had not noticed within yourself. <br/> <br/>These messages can come to us at any time, it is true, but when the vibration rises as it is now, it is important to find this wave as it rises so that you can activate the frequency and the nature that arises from it. Not only are you moving into living life in the natural cycle but you are also taking the opportunity to find, to rediscover the beauty that you may have not seen within yourself, or others, before. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>It is time to make change, to consciously move our lives and by cause and effect, shape the life of the world around us by helping to introduce greater amounts of this energy into it. <br/> <br/>Remember that this is just as important for the world as it is for you as a conscious, living human being. Your gifts and talents should flow into your life: your home, your relationships, your work, shopping, bathing, eating, disagreementsand mmisunderstandingsIf the vibration doesn't apply here, it will never apply in the world and so will have no effect. In short it is a wasted gift and a vain pursuit because you have done nothing with it. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>I want to personally remind you regardless of any path or religion, that you follow, to be conscious of your breathing, your diet, how active you are and in the way you interact with others. We are all becoming, we are all living, and all things aside, it is up to us, each of us, to make this a better place for all. Conscious living is living awake, it isn't necessarily easy or hard, but it is a way which opens us up to the potential to be our potential. Do you see? <br/> <br/>To all of you who read this: Be well. Be loved. Be loving. <br/> <br/> <br/>Scott K Smith <br/>Otherhoodlight <br/>http://www.Otherhoodlight.com <br/> <br/>Other Lights, Journey of the Liminal Being <br/>http://otherhoodlight.squarespace.com <br/> <br/>Otherhoodlight Store @ Cafe Press <br/>http://www.cafepress.com/otherhoodlight</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>It's that I don't need a list of reasons to change jobs or a relationship. Seems, that I need a list of reasons I'm not happy to effect some change in my life, when in fact I don't need a reason, to make a change. My pattern is that I wait until I'm unhappy and then try to do something about it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Wow, I'm really struggling to keep in my integrity. My landlord has turned off the heat in my unit completely, because I notified the inspectors of a chronic heat problem. It's a power play on his part...he's in the winner loser dynamic.

<div>For me it has become about holding onto to my values of peace, knowing that I won't always encounter the same values from others in every situation. When I'm with friends who are of like heart, it's so much easier, and peaceful feelings can grow and expand. But, when I'm with someone who is antagonisitic, it's not so easy. I have to manually adjust my mind sometimes to remind myself what is important for me to uphold. This doesn't mean I won't express my true opinions. I do!! And sometimes, I've learned it's best to just disengage from a fruitless interaction. <br/> <br/>Like a friend of mine said recently while we were walking down a sf street one evening after a class, a man was walking towards us on the sidewalk who was obviously very high and angry, sometimes we don't have to ask why, we can just let danger pass us by.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>*This post is partially inspired by a soul-sister, “Em” and brought to life by a discussion in the Empaths Tribe, at www.Tribe.net. <br/> <br/> <br/>It seems that more often than not, people are ready to go up in arms over organized religion. The targets are usually some or all of the religions that come from Abraham (Islam, Christianity -pick your path there- and Judaism). The temperatures run high even when the topic of conversation isn’t even about religion, someone on the posting group, in the conversation will inevitably display their anger and draw the sword of opinion. <br/> <br/>Undoubtedly we live in a country that has a large Christian contingent of believers, in some form or another. We have prominent men and woman, in politics, on television, radio and print, displaying their faith with a slant onto their political, social or personal agenda. Their lives, cast in the light of their God, become easy targets to blame, denounce, raise up and polarize around, changing the view of a religious path from what it is in truth. Is the belief system at fault or the individual who has twisted that system to suit their own goals? <br/> <br/>Every religion and spiritual path has its vices and pitfalls. There is no perfect course when you really think about it because they are defined and designed by human beings and we, by natural default, have a host of beautiful… well… “faults”! Therefore none of these religions can be a perfected path, unless of course you believe in the beauty of flaws, a design in life that allows for mistakes, trouble and obstacles to learn and grow from. <br/> <br/>You can get your back up, find yourself affronted, insulted or even angry but this is precisely my point that I am trying to make, or at least part of the point. Your anger does not make the world a better place. Your insistence that you have the right of way, does not make it easier for others to live in the world. Your ego-centric stubbornness to prove you are right does not create a better world. <br/> <br/>For well over 2,000 years human being have used religion as a method to control, to wage war, to demonize others and to collect power over people, cities and countries. People have used religious egomania to provide false evidence for wars, genocide, slavery and a host of “isms” from racism to sexism. At some point, we a as a race have to say, “This must stop.” <br/> <br/>I posted this all to my blog: <br/>http://otherhoodlight.squarespace.com/journey-of-the-liminal-being/2006/11/16/your-god.html <br/> <br/> <br/>Live.

<div>Today I had an interaction with my landlord who is a very difficult person. He tries to intimidate me whenever he gets a chance. If I moved out, he could rent out my place for a lot more. <br/> <br/>It's easy to be peaceful when others are peaceful. How can I support myself more when I'm around those who are not so heart oriented? <br/> <br/>In my mind I picture myself maintaining my choice to be how I choose to be, but, he does create a fearful vibe.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Meditation for peace gathering on Ghandi's birthdaySeptember 2, 2006 <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Spiritual Gathering for Universal Peace <br/> <br/> <br/>On the October 2, 2006 birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the ancient city of Anuradhapura is expected to host the largest gathering in Sri Lanka’s history - a meditation for peace called together by the Sarvodaya Movement. Sarvodaya is organizing this unique event (the culmination of an 11-day programme) to influence the collective consciousness of people throughout the world towards peace and loving kindness. Over one million people, most of them from Sri Lanka’s rural communities and many of them impacted by the ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka, will gather in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka’s ancient city. As with Sarvodaya’s previous meditations, this is a spiritual gathering for people of all ages, religions and ethnic origins. <br/> <br/>Sarvodaya, based on Gandhian and Buddhist philosophies, believes in the important role spirituality plays in human behavior. Accordingly, Sarvodaya recognizes the importance of building spiritual infrastructure, i.e. prerequisite of inner peace before realizing outer peace. <br/> <br/>Over the years, Sarvodaya has organized numbers of peace marches and spiritual events. In 1999, Sarvodaya gathered  170,000 people in Colombo and  650,000 people Anuradhapura in 2002 for peace meditation. <br/> <br/>This year, Sarvodaya will convene a massive peace meditation on October 2,  in Anuradhapura. This event will bring more than 1 million people in support of universal peace.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. <br/> <br/>Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. <br/> <br/>The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. <br/> <br/>Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us. <br/> <br/>Thich Nhat Hanh <br/>Buddhist Monk <br/>Peace Activist/Writer <br/> <br/>It took me a long time to understand if I didn't go into reaction when something negative was happening, that I was exercising inner strength and power. I came from an environment where women didn't speak up for themselves at all. Everybody walked over them, and they seemed invisible. So at the beginning of my path, I thought that screaming out my rights was coming into my power. So, every time I felt my rights were violated I spoke out with passion, anger, self righteousness. <br/> <br/>Now I understand that choosing when, where, how, and with whom I speak to is up to me. And what I do in a situation is up to me too. It's hard at first to slow myself down, especially if I'm hot about something, but upset or not, I want to maintain my ability to experience every situation individually. I want to be able to take the time to find my own peaceful balance before I proceed. That way, whatever I do, I will be doing it from peace, strength, and I suppose courage fits in there too. <br/> <br/> <br/>Curious to hear other stories about peace... <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/homeforpeace">Home for Peace</a> - 0 replies </div>
