Blogs For Involvement
For those of you interested in a world without violence and hatred, I wanted to inform you of a moving and thought provoking documentary that traces one man's struggles and triumphs in establishing an official day of Peace. The documentary is entitled: The Day After Peace and will be shown during the Global Peace Film Festival in Orlando, Florida on Septmber 22nd, 2009 at Rollins College on Mills Lawn. This event is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved in spreading love, peace, and humanity. For more information about the film and the festival, please visit the following website: www.peacefilmfest.org. Broaden your perspective on the world and get involved!
Much has been written on this hot topic. A lot of it is hot air about hot air. Let's examine some proposals from The Atlantic: Judy/August 2009. What you think?

How much of this is science fiction?
The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy 2009

Call for Applications:
Berlin, 27th – 31st July, 2009

The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy 2009 will bring together experts from the fields of academia, politics, and the private sector for a week-long program that will focus on the role of soft power in the international environment. The following are a selection of the confirmed speakers for the Symposium:

The word radical, whether noun or verb, usually refers to the extreme wings of the familiar bell curve. In politics, the far Left is just as radical as the far Right, for example. Extremes in any endeavor--be it religion, industry management, social system, or plain old politics, are rarely best for the societies within which they are embedded.

Something must be done or Mother Nature will do iti for us. We destroy wantonly because, collectively, we do not understand nature nor do we understand ourselves.

Why else would humanity be traveling a course of self destruction?


Am I capable of affecting world peace by working consciously on just one little piece of that peace? What if I take responsibility for just one little bitty acre, metaphorically cultivating one sacred acre within me, in my own heart? What if I make all those little choices that create a sacred acre around me, in my family and hearth? Could my family, by our harmonious actions be an impetus for others to do the same, creating sacred acres in our communities? Could the ideal of sacred acres be planted around the earth?

We are on a mission, a sacred acre mission, sowing the seeds of that which is sacred in the fertile soil of our lives. Every act affects my self (heart), my family (hearth), and my world (earth), in that order. This is our heart hearth earth principle
They say that war and violence are born in the heart... therefore it is also in the hearts of men that the quest for Peace must be fought.....

I had mixed feelings when I witnessed the ceremonial signing of the Peace Accord between the GRP (Government of the Republic of the Philippines) and the MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front) last September 2, 1996 in Jolo, Sulu.

The gymnasium of the Mindanao State University (MSU), Jolo Campus was filled to the bleachers and still thousands others contend themselves to just sit on the ground as they listened to loudspeakers connected from the inside, blasting blow-by-blow announcement of the historic moment.
"Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe.
But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth."

Is it possible to be human without having and experiencing a story of origin framing the reality of our existence? I do not believe it is. Ever wonder at the child’s question: Mommy, where did I come from? Some might name this aspect of being human as a gestalt – or the essence of who we are is greater than the sum of our life experiences. Stories of our origin (or creation stories that shape the identity of whole societies) are integral to the formation of how we see the world – in other words, a world-view – a gestalt.

The necessity and reasons for an alternative democratic system of governance for the restoration of peace, prosperity and happiness.

Sie. Kathieravelu

Respected Sir/Madam,

May you be pleased to permit me to submit a small brief on the necessity and reasons that prompted me in devising a system of governance that is truly democratic and that would certainly go a long way in integrating all the people of this country who are being kept apart by persons who have their own hidden agendas to serve their own personal interests.
The Alternative Democratic System of Governance [is] referred to.

Main Suggestions

Redefine the earlier Village Headman Divisional boundaries and the Provincial boundaries as they existed on 04.02.1948 (the date of independence) with slight adjustments here and there so as to define the boundaries on ground visible to the naked eye of the people of the area, as natural and definite say at least by a bye-lane, stream, [boundary] etc, so that it does not divide a house into two Village Headman Divisions or two Provinces.

The Law makes it illegal to advocate the death or injury of any person or persons for any reason whatsoever.

There is no such law today anywhere in the world.

Contemporary Political Developments in South Asia
The complex peace process between Pakistan and India

By Sohail Mahmood (for Safe Democracy)

Sohail Mahmood writes on the history of relations between Pakistan and India and underlines the essential need for dialogue at all costs. Despite the existence of many contentious issues --from Kashmir, to Siachen, to the destabilizing United States-India partnership--.
The study of peace building and conflict resolution in South Asia are big challenges for academia and scholars of international relations. Despite efforts on many fronts and at various levels, Pakistan and India have failed to materialize the objective of establishing a peaceful and friendly relationship.
Visitor Post (kww)

Hi,
I'm new here so I figured I'd start with something old. :-) It's a post I made a few months ago, some of it refers to older posts, but you don't need to know that info. to understand the main point(s) of this post. The post is "colored" with some of my own belief. Being an american I feel I have a right to express that...change my mind if you can, I value your perspectives as they "are the mirrors in which we see ourselves."(J. Krishnamurti)

Presented in the three languages I have a hope to proof read correctly. I am a native english speaker.

Stop Killing Each Other Please

Wondering why Altavista.com will not translate into any arabian language, and then it occurred to me.
There's a war on.

Oh yeah, it slipped my mind.

All religion, in current form, is useless. THE BUDDHA is the universal representative for Truth on Earth(even only partially enlightened, still fully THE BUDDHA!)! check out www.geocities.com/Michaelbuddha/techie for the beginnings of Truth and thoughts on peace (and fraud of u.s. terrorism)--for all, not just u.s!!!
Blog Entry by: Michael Buddha

True peace has to be for all, not just u.s. The narcissism and isolationist attitudes of u.s. (and many from north and south America)is a deterrent to world peace.

THE BUDDHA has the beginnings of Truth (finally available through/from the universe) at www.geocities.com/Michaelbuddha/techie
