Synergistic*Peace

Intention is the single greatest mechanism of change, for without intention, potential rest within a null state of being, therefore ones intent all*ways creates the future of its desire, just as collective intent will all*ways change the world.

Selfish?

Susan Livingston — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 14:42:03 -0400

I hope we can all learn to be a little less judgmental. I felt sad when I read your comment, Buck, because I am working for a world that works for everyone, even those you would label "selfish" because if my world doesn't work for selfish people, too, I'm afraid they'll just turn it around and overthrow my world. Besides, I don't call it selfish when a person in the midst of a famine hoards a head of cabbage - I call it scared. And I don't think that villager became more generous, whatever that means - I believe (s)he found power and trust. In my mind, the villager was still just as self-serving; I'll bet (s)he only parted with the cabbage because (s)he expected a bowl of the soup!

Show the true face of Americans

Hugo Estrada — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:57:06 -0500

Americans are very likable people. If we were able to get more foreigners to interact with Americans where the best can be displayed, then a lot of the hatred will be reduced.

Where do we go from here.

The Golden Rule

Tokashoni — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 02:23:32 -0500

Thank you for sharing life with me, an internet friend and companion for peace.

I have no complaints about the world. Complaints and oppositions just cause more and more strife. I just want to be kind and not try to have better material things than my fellow earth travellers. The golden rule means peace to me and peace means the golen rule.

I don't believe in "tough love" but only compassion and caring for all of life. No disregard for animals, plants, ants, or people.

All have feelings and fall under the golden rule. I am not all vegetarian yet but pushing in that direction because I know that the meat animals die in pain. All of them.

When humans start feeling for one another and learn to forgive and regard each person as precious souls, then we will have peace. I love all of life no matter who or what we are. I support you. Give me your tears and I will give back love and caring for you and your family.

I pray for peace daily.
Tokashoni

About Auroville

Chris — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:06:19 -0500

I'm aware, but not too familiar. I think we need to be creating communities right here as well.

One thing about Auroville, I don't believe there is going to be any mass flocking to intentioned communities as long as they basically tell you what to do, and my impression is Auroville does. Also any group that doesn't confront usury, capitalism, and overpopulation and extravagant living is dodging the real issues. Just my opinion.

Join others dedicated to the cause of peace in a plan to live in a LARGE, rural, largely self sufficient, humanistic, communitarian socialistic cooperative: non income sharing. A VERY different plan www.abundancethroughsharing.org

Greetings Chris

I wondered if you were familiar with the community of Auroville ????

http://www.auroville.org/av_brief.htm

It has a very interesting history and dynamic.

The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity â€“ in diversity. Today Auroville is recognised as the first and only internationally endorsed ongoing experiment in human unity and transformation of consciousness, also concerned with - and practically researching into - sustainable living and the future cultural, environmental, social and spiritual needs of mankind.

"could not live in one room"

Chris — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:23:01 -0500

You don't think I'm going to let you off the hook that easy do you? HA! Actually I'm glad you said what you did, you would not be the only one to miss what was there. I've since gone back and bolded, noted, and put in an arrow to item no. 3 in the
important details list. First members do not absolutely have to share a room and number two, people can build and own whatever they want as it relates to vocation or avocation and even sell it if they leave.

I may be wrong, but I think this very act of surviving individually as we do, is actually contributing to "what is".

Your pain is my pain and compassion

Chris — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:12:23 -0500

I agree with what you are saying however to be most powerful I think it needs to be backed up with how we live. And to me that means communally m cooperatively in some fashion or another with those who share our most important beliefs. In other words, capitalism is simply not compassionate. Note that I am not advocating communism
or even state run socialism, per se.

Compassion is the key to peace

Tokashoni — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 23:20:30 -0500

OK all the other tactics help, but compassion will naturally bring peace. Complete compassion for all of life. Humans, animals, and all of nature. Never let a life-form suffer or be cold or hungry. Then we will have peace. It has been said that in eternity we are all a part of one family.

The world will be healed when people begin to think in these terms: "Your pain is my pain"
God bless you and all whom you love
Tokashoni

thank you

One reason why it may be so hard to visualize getting there is that there are sooooo many people with different views involved. There are soooo many people doing so many different things to get there. One group focuses on the fiat money and debt relief, another group focuses on clean water...and so on. Whether we are aware of it or not, all aspects of creating new and better for our lives and blessed Mother Earth are already in action in some form, just like your proposed community ideas.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete" ~Buckminister Fuller

If we each focus on what excites us and join like minded people we will make it through these wild and abrupt changes more efficiently. Each individual act builds like bricks on a building, one at a time and in strength!

Your web site has wonderful ideas! Keep going! I, myself could not live in just one room! I am an artist and like space and privacy for my work! LOL But a community garden! AHHHHH bliss to me and I would be out there daily!!!!! Yea babe!
Thank you, Chris!
