QUOTES

Universal  peace  education, the  concept  of  peace  as a human  right, and  yes, the  abolition of  nuclear weapons  are all sound and achievable objectives to which every person can contribute  their energies.

Public  opinion  is  demanding  that  non­violence  be a powerful  and  effective  tool  for positive   change  and an  organizing  principle  in  national  affairs.  Let's make war  illegal  and begin  to  heal ourselves  and our planet. 

Wouldn’t  encouraging  right  human  relationships  be a start toward  the end of war? Wouldn ’t  the sharing of global  resources  begin  to  restore  a measure of   peace? What will it take? 

We  must  recognize  our  essential  and  shared   divinity, not  only  as  fellow  human  beings, but  also   as  expressions  of  the  interconnected  whole  web of life  — ALL  life.  Our  environment  starts  with  us,  we can  transform  our  relationships  and  succeed  in   making  this  a  wholesome  and  sacred  planet. We   can, and  with  joy  and  hope, we  must.

We are here, subjectively linked with groups all over the world, in and out of physical bodies, to share in the work of bringing more light and love into the planet; to use our combined vision to see the next steps ahead and to go forward with the knowledge that on the plane of soul, we are one light, one love.

Historically, there  have  been  many  notable  struggles for freedom, some  more  successful  than  others, but all   important  in  the  context  of  humanity ’s  search for  the   true  expression  of  “freewill ”

Perhaps  true  freedom  exists  only  in  the  mind, or   beyond. Perhaps  we  can  only  know true freedom   through  the  experience  of  limitation. Was  it  love  or the   truth  that  "shall  set  us free"? Either  way, we could  start there.

Many  of  the   organizations  we ’ve  supported  are   actually  networks  of  networks ;  intertwining  and mutually  supportive   organisms  that  share  a  common vision   and  common goals: to  build  a  better,  more sustainable  and  just  society  for  all   of  Earth ’s people.
