Peace On Earth

Here are some things which have touched my heart as we pray for peace on our beautiful home planet...

...So please do not stop observing. Just don't spend more than 17 seconds observing something that isn't a vibrational match to your desires. ~Abraham, Channeled by Esther Hicks

This came to me in a forwarded e-mail. It is from a book called "Prayers - Mantras and Invocations." I don't know the name of the author.

INVOCATION FOR THE UNITED NATIONS

May the Peace and Blessings of the Holy Ones pour forth over the worlds - rest upon the United Nations, on the work and the workers, protecting, purifying, energizing and strengthening.

There is a Peace which passeth understanding. It abides in the hearts of those who live in the Eternal.

There is a Power that maketh all things new. It lives and moves in those who know the Self as One.

May the Rhythm of the Peace vibrate within the United Nations and in the heart of every worker.

May the Rhythm of that Creative Power resound within the United Nations, and in the lives of all who serve there - awakening, transmuting and giving birth to that which ought to be.

May the Chalice the United Nations is building become a focal point for the descent of spiritual force, which filling it and overflowing to the world draws towards itself all those whose work lies there.

May the consciousness of the United Nations become ever more at-one, the many lights One Light in the Light of the Self.

May the aspiration and the dedication of the United Nations burn as a clear flame in the service of Humanity.

May the Love and Light and the Life of the One Life pour through the United Nations, cleansing it from all evil, and attracting all good.

Amen and So It Is

LIFE UNCOMMON

Don't worry, mother, it'll be alright

And don't worry, sister, say your prayers and sleep tight

It'll be fine lover of mine

It'll be just fine

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And you shall lead a life uncommon

I've heard your anguish

I've heard your hearts cry out

We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out

Set down your chains, until only faith remains

Set down your chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead a life uncommon

There are plenty of people who pray for peace

But if praying were enough it would have come to be

Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves

To hear our voices ring out clear

With sounds of freedom

Sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way

There is a new army coming and we are armed with faith

To live, we must give

To live

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead...

Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead a life uncommon

Before Our Eyes

Oftentimes I feel – when I look at Mother Earth,
Deep inside her consciousness, she’s preparing for a birth.
Fighting back with all her might – cleansing all above,
Hoping that humanity will learn the ways of love.

What if we could look within – and see that brilliant light,
Send it out into the world – to everyone in sight,
Stop the wars and killing – put an end to this long night,
Know we’re all connected – and treat each other right?

I am you – you are me
We are one – with all we see …
Take care of each other,
Be kind to one another,
And we’ll see the world transform
Before our eyes.

Everyday I listen – to the voice within my heart,
Telling me that I am love – and it’s time to do my part.
All of us are angels – and we’re here to lend a hand,
Make a better life for all – across these holy lands.

What if we could look within – and see that brilliant light,
Send it out into the world – to everyone in sight,
Stop the wars and killing – put an end to this long night,
Know we’re all connected – and treat each other right?

I am you – you are me
We are one – with all we see …
Take care of each other,
Be kind to one another,
And we’ll see the world transform
Before our eyes.

THE RIVER OF LIFE…
By Starhawk

Once a people lived along the banks of the river of life…

The river of life is a river of sweet water, that awakens the seeds of spring and nourishes all growing things…
The river of life is a storm wind, blowing fresh across the earth..
The river of life is the deep molten fire that shakes the continents…

And the people should have had all they needed for happiness and joy,
But they were plagued by a terrible monster, the triple-headed monster of Greed, Hate and War.

Greed sucked up all the colors of life and locked them inside his fortress…
Hate severed the threads of love and taught the people to fear each other…
War threatened destruction to anyone who opposed the monster’s rule…

And the people were separate, and afraid, and poor…
The threads of connection were frayed…
The fabric of care unravelled…
And War took the young and marched them off to slaughter and die in places far away…
Greed stole their future...

The river of life ran dry.

The women saw the springs go barren, the new sprouts fail, the trees die, and the hills turn brown…

And they wept and mourned, and didn't know what to do.

The women, too, were divided, for some had more and some had less.
Old wounds and present injustices kept them apart.

But as War shook his fist, and threatened to unleash
weapons to destroy the earth.

The women turned to each other, They said: "We are scraps of a torn fabric,
but if we tie them together,
We can bind wounds, dry tears,
weave a net to carry heavy loads.."

"We must amplify love, and throw off dread,
Take back our power and spin a thread,
A life line, held in our strong hands,
A living web of shining strands."

"And our hands remember how to spin.
We spin freedom on the rising wind,
We spin threads of life, the cords of fate,
We spin love into a river that can overrun hate,"

"We spin justice burning like a flaming star,
We spin peace into a river that can overcome war.
And if you want to know where true power lies,
Turn and look into your sisters’ eyes…"

"So come mothers and grandmothers,
Lovers and daughters,
Come spinners and weavers,
Tool makers, potters,
Dancers and dreamers,
Fixers and changers,
Singers and screamers,
Forget all the dangers,
Come ancestors, guardians, Goddesses too,
You who teach us, you who speak true,
You who plant, and you who reap,
You who soar and you who creep,
You who cook, and you who drum,
You who have been, and you yet to come,
You who fight with the sword,
You who fight with the pen,
Unreasonable women,
Unmanageable men,
Come harpies and banshees and gorgons and Witches,
Come sweet loving hearts and furious bitches!"

"Break the chains that have kept us bound,
Weave a web to pull the monster down.
In the face of truth, no lie can stand,
Weave the vision, strand by strand."

"We are sweet water, we are the seed,
We are the storm wind to blow away greed.
We are the new world we bring to birth,
The river rising to reclaim the earth."

Excerpted from the Prophet's Conference newsletter

The Prophet's Conference

A man of peace is not a pacifist, a man of peace is simply a pool of silence. He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new song. He lives in a totally new way his very way of life is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion. Whomsoever he touches, he creates more love-energy.

The man of peace is creative. He is not against war, because to be against anything is to be at war. He is not against war, he simply understands why war exists. And out of that understanding he becomes peaceful.

Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, understanding, will the war disappear.'

~OSHO, from: 'Zen: The Path of Paradox, vol II'
