I will say again peace comes from peace.

I will believe in my heart that it is possible for our global society to live together in peace, even with all our different ideas and beliefs.

I will work today in thought of peace.

I will nominate 9-11 as global peace day.

peace comes from peace

Dear Deepak,
Last night, at the celebration of a friend's life, I felt peace (after the tears I shared with family and friends).

Just now being outdoors, and watching two cardinals and a bluejay take turns at the birdfeeder, and several butterflies hovering over the flowers in the garden,
I have this same feeling.
It comes from being present to Life.

What else can I do?

only be me,
and hope that is enough.
Love,
~ Kate

I will live one day at a time and say "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is!"

Love
Bonnie

Someone called me today seeking assistance with a web site issue. Rather than seeing them as someone else I chose to see them as my own self seeking assistance. So rather than being annoyed or distracted I was at peace within myself and had clarity of mind.

I also thought everything happens for a reason and I will just go with it no judgmental thought or anything.

I looked at the problem, quite mysterious, everything was there files and such, yet the web site came up a big white empty page when viewed from here and where he was. He had called the hosting company but they weren't sure what is wrong. This happens a lot company’s and people call me when no one can figure it out.

I see a lot of mysterious problems but most have an explanation but not all.

This other person, me in disguise, was also having problems loading a page using FTP as well getting an error. Somewhere deep in my mind was the awareness that the server and his laptop had somehow got out of sync in their communication regarding the status of this file.

I told him to reboot his laptop.

Seconds later the web site came up properly, and then a few minutes later when his laptop finished rebooting he was able to load the file without error.

The problem seemed to just fix itself as if it never existed, and everyone was happy, this happens a lot when I tend to things, it is as if the problem didn’t really exist, sometimes it appears that the “users” are some how creating it in their mind. They have the belief that it does not work I have the knowing that it does or will. knowing over rides belief.

Computers and the mind have a lot in common, if you have a problem, reboot. Sometimes you have to do both the mind and the computer at the same time.

For a computer this is a simple command to execute or a button push, and the mind a little meditation and a few minutes attention on the divine concept.

For Peace today I shall,
Dance by the river dressed in cotton and velvet, rise before dawn, gather friendly stones from the desert,chatter with the lovely King Quail
Cuddle a baby,
Coo to the sun
and soar with the neighboring Hawk
and if I get bored after that, Ill do it all some more... I thousand new wishes today for Peace!

Dear Kate,

It’s a treat to see your cameos, these days!

There is an abiding sense of serenity in your posts that seems to transcend life's mundane challenges. Your incomparable love, admiration and appreciation of Nature’s beauty and its inhabitants are uplifting and blissful! You, invariably, find awe and inspiration in those colorful sunsets, quiet streams and raging rivers, and the playful creatures of the wild, like few can!

Now, if more of us can do that, all over the world, there may be less room for random premeditated acts of cruelty, on innocent victims, like we see every day in the evening news! And wouldn’t that be a step forward!

With kind regards...

What is more beautiful than living in harmony?
The world that's inside and around me...
That what i see...
When i can see it with the full attention of the moment....
Then that what i see is always what it should be in the present....
Now, now is the moment.

Peace is my natural being
Peace is my natural state
Peace is what surrounds me
Nothing can fill it with hate

Hi Mieke,

How are you doing, my dear! Like Kate, you are one of the best! Thanks for those thoughtful e-mails! It's kind of you to do that!

With warm regards...

Deepak Chopra may preach people to live in peace. Which is great.

But don't tell us that if some critical mass of people meditate will bring world peace..i.e. without human wars and voilence...

and that natures and earth will be at peace..i.e. climate change will be altered mysteriously overnight, earth quakes will stop, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanic eruption will stop..nature will be at peace with humans..etc.

Bottom line...don't talk about your pet theories of 'critical mass' of meditating people collective consciousness psychosis and madness when you are preaching peace and love.

Hi Ron,

Nice to read you here again :) You are very welcome. Do not tell Oxana but a birthday card to her is on its way, hope it will reach her in time :)

Hope you all have a great day on the 10th!

Warm regards to you and yours,
Mieke

Aloha

I lit a candle for Peace for a Global Community. love patty

Hi Mieke,

Oxana just received the lovely card you sent.

She says "Thank you!"

And thank you, Mieke! How nice of you!

PEACE.....

I will be kind and helpful toward those around me and who I come into contact with today. I will love another as myself today. I will feel God's love deep within my heart and I will share my heart with another today.

Love, Char

Hello Deepak and Everyone,

What will I do for peace today you ask?

Peace is, I do not have to do anything for peace..it is always present..always available..it is always abundant...it is in the midst of hate, it is on the battlefield, it is during a heated argument..it is patient...all encompasssing..it is my depth, it is my breath..it is..just stand still, bring your attention to the present moment... empty your mind..and BE..whoola..peace.

I don't know what everyone is fighting about all the time...do they?

Really, in this present moment...there is such peace...and you know it is the kind of peace that even an IED couln't touch...peace is untouchable..

We humans have tried and tried to deflower the princess of peace...but, no such luck..she shoos away are attemps like those annoying little red ants that love to bite your feet...she's the princess of peace and no-thing and no-one will disturb her loving view and appreciation of everything..

peace and good nite...ruth

I will forgive the person, Who had given me biggest grief.
Because Forgiveness Heals.

Best
Zeya

And this is the way it went today .... PEACE!

For a brief background: Due to my financial woes this past year, I have had to move to a cheap neighborhood. From day one, I have had to deal with a lot of jealous neighbors complaining about all the stuff I have and my nice car - Lexus, my patio furniture, etc. It goes on and on. Plus my spiritual practices are different than most in the US ... I guess? So I have been harassed about my incenses that I burn, the soulofmeditation CD of Deepak's that I listen to, as I am told it is too loud, when I can hear it clearly and any lower, I would not be able to hear it, i.e., I've agreed to headsets and to close my windows when burning incenses, which is pretty bad to not have air. It goes on and on with many, many compromises and I am a very good renter and have been always been told as such. So today, my landlord called me and shared more of the same. I was calm, as I focused on my inner peace and share with him what I have been dealing with, while he stayed neutral. I told him I was sharing this with him so that he can better select a good fit for this place and is not in the dark about the people dynamics. Initially, I was told by the landlord that it was a quiet singles place. But found out it's full families and kids as well as lots of noise, which is why I turn up my CD, etc. What makes it bad is that I can hear everything thru my walls, even the guy snoring downstairs - all night long. I did share with the landlord that I believe that the place was misrepresented and when the one year contract was up (soon) and I could afford to save for the moving company, I would be moving as this place was not a good fit. It's like there are too many people put in a congested area and everyone hates it, so they attack each other, specifically me as a target, since I don't fit in, i.e., I am single and they are all families with the tradition beliefs in the US.

So I managed to remain calm and will just start looking around soon. Even though I think it is unfair that I am being pushed out by the neighborhood to leave and I have to pay the extra money before I am ready and able to afford it.

If I had just followed my instincts when I walked away from the landlord before moving in, before he talked me into the deal, I would have been following my intuition. But I guess I needed to learn to develop my inner peace and this was good practice, so that must have been the reason I moved in. Yep, I am still bummed about it as it's a lot of work to move and I am walking on pins and needles having to do all the compromising just to keep the peace in all these attacks, even though I do expressed to each complaint that under these congested conditions, it is hard for any of us to find peace. It's pretty bad and everyone wants to pretend that the other does not exist or eliminate them, even though another will just come in and fill the role. This must be why we have wars and no world peace, as there is just no tolerance for another and the differences that we all bring to the table continue to cause great conflicts. And the one with the better people skills will always be the one to compromise the most and play mediator. Personally, I don't care for the role and just want to enjoy life with all the work and maybe that's the problem???? I don't know.

So that's my personal PEACE story for the day.

Love, Char

BTW: And yes, I know that I gave up on my personally project, as I just cannot deal with these petty wars, nor do I have the desire.

I will continue to raise awareness in the world around me of the power to be found in aligning ourselves with a Higher process. To assist others to recognize the power of compassion enables us all to gain greater inner peace.

hi!!

I will help somebody i dont know

danish

Dear Deepak,

thank you for the book you recommend through the link in your blog. It seems to be another great reminder of the way to peace. Whenever I need support, I use to open your Peace Is The Way or Krishnamurti's Beyond Violence.

What will I do for peace today?
It's almost 10 AM so I've already done a few things.

- I've meditated, done my breathing exercises and yoga asanas, so I can keep the connection with the peaceful spot inside. From there, it will be easy to do the rest

- be here for everyone who crosses my path, without judgment of myself or the other, honouring and loving the sameness behind the particularities.

-I will also see through the self-importance that has kept me from fully forgiving a friend, and I will call her and express my unconditional friendship.

-I will love and respect myself and my own needs, so I will see to it that I get a fresh nourishing lunch and a long walk by the lake.

- I will organize a spontaneous party (with a huge cake) for my son's friend who has felt ignored and unloved for a while, and who has asked for help by anonymously throwing his jacket into the school toilet :)

- I will continue to be open and honest with what I think and what I feel, in every moment.

- I will continue to work for spreading awareness by sitting and planning my new workshop and by helping my students grow and in their turn spread awareness through their own work.

-I will listen, attentively, to everyone who asks for my attention today.

- I will spread peace in whatever other way is asked of me today.

Thank you Derek, Kate, Bonnie, Richard, Tammy, Ron, Mieke, Scott, Patty, Char, Ruth, Zeya, Liara and Danish, for sharing your intention, thoughts and acts for peace.

I will geet a job and pay taxes to the evil American government!

And though a wooden box, or a money tree, may imprison me, Atri the sun in the heavens doth see.

Peace

In my opinion, the world can, and will, be a vastly more peaceful place if more humans muster the courage to navigate from the falsities of religion toward the sacred embrace of truth. And, as it is said, the truth shall set you free! How ironic, indeed!

Few need to be told that much of the conflict and acrimony in the world arise from the pit of religion. How sad! Which begs the question: why are we so willing to accept false certainties when there is a better way, the evidentiary way?

Indeed, we are all fortunate transients to this magical place we call home, and it is a marvel that each one of us was able to beat the incredible odds to be here to experience our fleeting moments in time. But how will we spend those moments?

It is obvious that a preponderant majority of us will surrender, at the alter of religion, our free will to individually seek out the facts of the universe. But a handful of us will buck the trend to establish truth through scientific inquiry, our final frontier. And in that, there is hope!

As adults, whatever camp we are in, is almost entirely a matter of choice!

P.S.: Aurora, thank you!

Thank You, Ron :) I loved this from your post:

"Indeed, we are all fortunate transients to this magical place we call home, and it is a marvel that each one of us was able to beat the incredible odds to be here to experience our fleeting moments in time. But how will we spend those moments? "

One thing that might make a difference is if we spent our moments not so much defining and choosing camps, as noticing, as you say, the magic of being here together.

Love.

For Peace today, I will remember that I have enough.

I will share a smile with everyone I meet and say
"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

Peace is a contagious ( )ease!!

Love
Bonnie

Today I will call my Representative to Save Net Radio: http://www.savenetradio.org/

And I will join with all the listeners of Beyond the Ordinary and enjoy all their guests. Especially Michel Choinacki' Akido experience of choosing peace through balance. http://www.beyondtheordinary.net/meetourguests.shtml

love patty

Yes Heather. Love, Love, Love.

Today, in particular, I'm going to practice acceptance. Acceptance of where I am in each moment and acceptance of where others are on their journey.

Bonnie. Peace IS contagious!

With Love and Peace, Melissa

That sounds like an effective approach Aurora maybe someone some day someone will make a list such as that and print it on a magnetic backing and send one to every household one for their refrigerator. Everyone visits the refrigerator and they would be reminded whenever hungry or thirsty.

Of course there are companies that will produce and sell them at no cost to you sharing the revenue. One just needs to come up with the content and promote it.

cafepress.com is such a place. You just upload the art work which can be any image file.

...remain in silence and spread the energy of its result, in prayer, in thought, in deed, in intention

Richard, you are a well of ideas, and I admire your practical eye. For me, the most difficult part is in getting to the point where all my impulses and ideas go all the way to practical manifestation. But this is what makes life worth living, I think, and this is what challenges are for. Somehow, I think our collective challenge is that all the spiritual people need to learn to bring spirit down to earth. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out and see if it can be a tool for me.

Hi

I fought with someone who is very dear to me on Wednesday and since then i am feeling blue. Thanks for this post..I will try and patch up ..may be say sorry (Tho i am sure it was not my fault)...why is it so difficult to say sorry..

Aurora,

Thanks, for myself I am trying to understand what causes me to "do" or where my doing comes from. I think I should do this but the energy comes to do that, and I know not where the energy, the impulse comes from. I think practical manifestation requires focus and persistance, yet sometimes what we intend is not what the universe intends for us so things don't always happen as we expect, but they do happen as we truly desire, at least I suppose that may be true.

Perhaps... our collective challenge is to support each other in overcoming the fictions of the world, for it is a challenge for each of us to hold to the truth in a world of fiction.

To embrace and transform those under the influence, to remind ourselves and each other to our center when we stray.

Today for Peace I will give up my story to listen with feeling to that doesn't change. love patty

That sounds like a worthwhile goal, Richard. I think focus and persistence happen automatically when we close the gap between "my intention" and the "intention of the universe". I mean, when we do it permanently. Good luck, to all of this, in it's intention!

Reading all the answers on this blog I must say, I am touched. Thank you everyone!

Dear Ron,
If only you knew how much
I would enjoy
a day
with you - and your family,
your daughter and son
it's not just wishful thinking!
~ Kate

Skeptisch,
how I wish,
I could meet you
too!

peace
dear Cinda,
in silence ...
and in
words

om shanti Kate...always

Dear Deepak,
I was not there at the Vishnu Mandir today, however, from what I understand, you were a part of the opening of the "Peace Wall".
Hope all was in sync with the intention of this occasion.

A thought came to mind, today, a hour and half before this ceremony took place. The name "Peace Wall", felt somewhat odd for what it is supposed to represent, what do you think?
The word WALL. has a feel of separatedness, keeping out, to block out, dividing, one side or the other...etc
Somehow it does not flow with the concept of PEACE.
Is it at all possible the name Peace Wall be changed to reflect the intention these beings and symbols would have carried with them in their messages? ...an openness that flows throughout the world, to everyone, leaving the message open to welcome and increase the energies of peacefulness.

I believe the concept of bringing together all of the major Beings and Symbols which represent a more peaceful way of life is important and significant.
To bring them together under "oneness" and have the word "wall" attached to the message they lived for?...I don't know, something just doesn't flow about those two words together...peace and wall

My suggestions for change

Peace for All

Intentions of Peace

Spreading Peace

Peace Leaders

A Mission of Peace

Inspiring Peacefulness

Peace Alliance

Uniting in Peace

...There are so many more possibilities, others can come up with also, that would suit more appropriately.

In kindness and care, I would pass on this message to Dr.Doobay, also.

Thank you for listening and giving this some thought,

Cinda
