Sharing Some Writings and Thoughts on Peace

Sharing Some Writings and Thoughts on Peace



"Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable."

- rather wise and prophetic words from a great leader, John F Kennedy



"Peace is, by all agreement,

what everybody wants, at this moment.

But violence - the weakest power

Still rules the world to each small corner.

Don't sit around -

Go out and do!

The world wants peace, For me and you."



by South African, James Van Minnen



"I watched it creep over the mountains, its warmth

spreading, its light growing stronger each minute.

Soon it will be up and another day will dawn on

South Africa. This day will be no ordinary day, for it

will be the day of peace. Tranquility had won another

war for mankind, utterly destroying pain and violence.

For this is the day we have been waiting for. This day

bringing new hope for all. The day stretches on and

finally it has to end. The sun will sink back behind

the mountains bringing another day."

and so peace came to South Africa out of a troubled, divided and bloody past...



so why not the WORLD?

"When you can see no light at the end of the tunnel, light your own candle and let your light illuminate the world, like the radiance from a window at

midnight."



Let the light of your BEING shine brightly; so revealing Who You Really Are. Be a Bringer of the Light, which emanates from our soul, God, our Creator, the Source, the Essence of Life (and Ground of our very Being). Therefore, it can do more than illuminate your own path.YOUR spirit will help makes the lives of others easier by illuminating others paths. For this light is our humanity, the spirit of God, truth, wisdom, beauty and especially love...and it lies within each one of us. Through your actions and your Being, let your light, YOUR spirit truly shine brightly on the world, like the radiance emitted by a candle at midnight."

- Craig Lock (adapted from Neale Donald Walsh in

'Conversations with God Book 3').



"Let us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace."



"Become the person you are CAPABLE of being ... and ALL the person God, Our Creator intended us to become."

- Craig Lock



"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light...

and where there is sadness, joy.

I shall pass through this world but once.

Any good therefore that I can do,

or any kindness that I can show to any human being,

let me do it now.

Let me not defer nor neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again."

- anon



"Love is the only force that can erase the difference between people or bridge the chasms of bitterness. In a changing world, it is a constant. It is the security of the home. It is a beacon of hope in a world of distress."

- Wayne R. Bills, MA



Love is a power in us more powerful than bullets.

Love is ultimate STRENGTH and has Unlimited Power.



"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than

evil triumphant."

- Martin Luther King, Jr



"I believe often we greatly underestimate our potential and resources. We have it all within to do anything; but when we feel weak and don't think we have anything left to give, then all we need to do is ask in prayer. You will receive wisdom , strength, imagination and creativity you never knew you possessed from without, from a Higher Power, your Creator...

and then nothing is impossible to you and God."

- Craig Lock



YOU can do something to make a better world with WISE ACTION + GREAT BELIEF in GOOD, the power of what we call GOD, the Ground of our very Being, The Ultimate Source of wisdom, truth, beauty, hope, life and love.

P.S:

"The man (or woman) who loves greatly can be a most powerful person in the world."

- or words to that effect from Emmet Fox



"There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires."

- Nelson Mandela



"Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable."

- rather wise and prophetic words from a great leader, John F Kennedy



The immense problems of this world cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them. I think it was Albert Einstein who said something like that. Words of wisdom!



Fist look at the CAUSES of conflicts. There IS a SPIRITUAL SOLUTION to any "seeming impossible" problem. "The spiritual is stronger than any material force, thoughts rule the world."

- the great and inspirational American philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson



"Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

So powerful, those words!



"Ignite the light in your soul,

then you will spread light in people.

Plant beauty in yourself

and harmony will blossom in your home.

When harmony perfumes the home
