What follows is the 143rd Meditation Focus suggested for the next 2 weeks beginning Sunday, December 18, 2005. BEING ALL THE PEACE THAT WE CAN BE 1. Summary 2. Meditation times 3. More information related to this Meditation Focus Please note that you are also invited to join in meditation, on your own or in the context of a group, for the upcoming solstice. The precise moment of the 2005 solstice will be December 21, 2005 at 1:35 PM EST (18:35 Universal Time/GMT). Peace on Earth and the healing of all Life is suggested as a common theme. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PASSING THIS ON TO OTHERS ------- 1) SUMMARY After being offered previously with eight gifts - love, compassion, harmony, Light, joy, oneness, gratitude and abundance - a ninth sage is stepping forward to also offer his invaluable contribution to humanity's global awakening. One of the most precious values we hope to teach you is peace. For too many centuries your world has been engulfed in continuing violence that has climaxed in the last century, in your linear time, with terrible devastation. Throughout the universe, millions of civilizations have learned to live peacefully among themselves and with others and it is high time the people of your planet realize the utter foolishness of war. Without peace, no other soul qualities can flourish. Without true, universal peace, your civilization has no future and nearly all life will be doomed as so much efforts and resources are wasted in destructive pursuits while your natural environment is being shredded in tatters. It often seems easier to explain what peace is not rather than illustrate what may stem from a peaceful atmosphere and gentle behavior. Imagine a world in which everyone deeply cares for the well-being of others. Imagine a life in which all attention is dedicated to expand one's awareness of and ability to express Love and all the other qualities, proper attitudes and states of awareness we have mentioned to you so far. Sense deep within you the well of peace from which flows out endless Light and unfathomable bliss. Only through experiencing first-hand the innate ability you each have to express within and around you the sublime vibrations of peace can you begin to understand the sheer magnitude of its power to positively affect your own sense of peaceful self-centeredness as well as the global sense of oneness gradually emerging amongst humanity as a whole. There is not much time left for you to spread your spiritual wings and start manifesting the infinitely powerful talents you have been endowed with as part of your natural heritage and sons and daughters of the One Universal Being and Creator of All That Is. We plead with you that you consider what changes could be brought in your priorities not only to help bring about peaceful relationships with all your soul kins and, indeed, around your entire world, but also to resolutely set foot on the path leading to the co-creation of a world that is absolutely free from all forms of violence against all forms of Life. You have within you the power to be-come a true shining star of benevolence, Love and Peace. Please allow your Self to expand beyond the limiting confines of your lower self so as to encompass all that you truly are in a manifested expression of all that you can BE. As you join in synchronous meditation with all other participants, worldwide, simply Be All The Peace That You Can Be, for the Highest Good of All. This whole Meditation Focus has been archived for your convenience at http://www.aei.ca/~cep/MeditationFocus143.htm "We CAN commit, all together on that auspicious day, to live in Peace and to strive with the best of our collective and so resourceful abilities to correct the wrongs of the past, share more equitably the bounties of our world, not only with current generations but most importantly with all the children still to be born, making sure every single human being on Earth is fed and housed properly, each according to his/her own cultural preferences, and review everything we do to ensure that our environment and all other life forms receive the same care and protection we would normally give to our mother when she is suffering from a life-threatening ailment." - Taken from "Chronicle of a Co-creation - Part 7 A Message of Peace <http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Horizons.HTM>; " "It is time to create powerful, prayerful gatherings for peace, for all beings and for the world. It is time to hold the vision of a world where human beings live in harmony, with each other and with the earth. It is time to create a vision where all will be fed, clothed and sheltered, so their focus can move from survival to the enrichment of the spirit. The time is now. Together you can do this." - Taken from http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Creatneworld.htm "Opting out of violence is an all inclusive process: spiritual, political, economic. Peace on earth, then, can be realized with individual, sovereign beings consciously and purposefully choosing to establish peace within themselves. There seems to be no other way." - Daniel Kolos - Taken from An Open Letter for Peace Within <http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/LightSeries4.htm>; Also recommended... MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Peace.htm Global Meditation Working Principles http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/MedPrinciples.htm ------- MORE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS MEDITATION FOCUS This complement of information may help you to better understand the various aspects pertaining to the summary description of the subject of this Meditation Focus. It is recommended to view this information from a positive perspective, and not allow the details to tinge the positive vision we wish to hold in meditation. Since what we focus on grows, the more positive our mind-set, the more successful we will be in manifesting a vision of peace and healing. "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ...." - Declaration of Independence of the united States of America, written by Thomas Jefferson -- Taken from http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Archives2002/LightSeries21.htm "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein "Stand up and walk towards the bright future that I devised for you. Stand up and talk to everyone around you about this glorious Destiny awaiting Humanity. Stand up and raise the real issues of your time: Peace, Love and Harmony. Peace among nations, Peace among neighbors, Peace within you. Love towards God, Love towards others, Love towards yourself. Harmony with the Universe, Harmony with the Earth, Harmony within you. You are the leaven in the bread. You can change things around. You can trigger a global shift of consciousness. You can make a difference. For you are not alone... You are millions scattered all around the Earth as Seeds of Light. You must now shine as the true Sons and Daughters of Light that you are... " - Taken from Earth People...

All around us, so much is being done to create a better world. All of these efforts are part of a vast un-named "peace on earth movement." United in the wish for peace on earth, we will create a culture of peace. Celebration is a powerful tool for the Peace On Earth Movement. Celebrating around ideas we can all agree on is an effective way to break down barriers and create an atmosphere of cooperation. Then we can more effectively address and work towards resolving issues that prevent us from living peacefully together. Bring your community together on a Peace Day and help them to think about a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. Together a better world is possible, one day at a time...

Put an End to CEO Excess (December 17, 2005) http://www.alternet.org/story/29709/?comments=view&cID=66766&pID=66722#c6676 6 <http://www.alternet.org/story/29709/?comments=view&;cID=66766&pID=66 722#c66766> Executives at some companies with military contracts have increased their salaries by 200 percent since 9/11. It's time to close the loopholes that permit war profiteering. By nearly any measure, the party David H. Brooks threw recently for his daughter's bat mitzvah was absurdly over the top. The New York businessman flew in musical mega stars Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry (from Aerosmith), 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Kenny G. and a gaggle of other celebrity acts, many by private jet, to perform for the girl in the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center. That the money for the bash, estimated by the New York Daily News at $10 million, came from war profits, made this excess even more obscene. (...) The War Profiteers http://www.addictedtowar.com/images/waprp37.jpg http://www.addictedtowar.com/images/warprp43.jpg http://www.addictedtowar.com/images/intro.jpg Author's Preface to the 2004 Edition of "Is the U.S. Addicted to War?" http://www.addictedtowar.com/Preface1.htm I wrote and illustrated the first edition of Addicted to War following the first U.S. war against Iraq in 1991. The major news media had been reduced to wartime cheerleaders, and people of this country had been largely shielded from the ugly realities of the war. My aim was to present information difficult to find in the mainstream news media, and to explain America's extraordinary predilection to go to war. Ten years later, events compelled me to update the book. The September 11 attacks provided an opportunity for George W. Bush to declare a "War on Terrorism," which in practice turned to be an endless binge of war-making. The second edition was published in early 2002, following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. The Bush Administration then turned to preparing for a new war against Iraq. A thin rhetorical veneer about combating terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction hardly concealed its underlying aim: to impose a new U.S. client regime in the heart of the Middle East and assure control over a country that has the world's second largest known oil reserves. As the present edition goes to press, the U.S. is occupying Afghanistan and Iraq. In an effort to quell armed resistance, the U.S. military is taking harsh punitive measures against the civilian populations of both countries, feeding a spiral of violence that has repercussions around the world and is placing us all in greater danger. This book chronicles over two centuries of U.S. foreign wars, beginning with the Indian wars. During this time, America's machinery of war has grown into a behemoth that dominates our economy and society and extends around the globe. Although the Bush Administration has been particularly bellicose, this country's addiction to war began long before Bush came to power and will undoubtedly survive his departure. The costs of this growing addiction are now being felt more acutely at home. Soldiers and their families are paying a heavy price, but everyone is affected. Skyrocketing military spending is contributing to huge government deficits, causing sharp cuts in domestic programs, including education, health care, public transport, and environmental protection. At the same time, the "War on Terrorism" is being used as an excuse to step up police surveillance and erode civil liberties. I hope this book will spur reflection and debate about militarism, and encourage creative action to change our direction.

The above list is by no means complete or comprehensive. It is merely a list that is easily accessible and not unknown, especially to the economic and intellectual elites. It has just been conveniently eliminated from the public discourse and public consciousness. And for the most part, the analysis that the U.S. actions have resulted in the deaths of primarily civilians (over 90%) is not unknown to these elites and policy makers. A conservative number for those who have been killed by U.S. terror and military action since World War II is 8,000,000 people. Repeat--8,000,000 people. This does not include the wounded, the imprisoned, the displaced, the refugees, etc. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated in 1967, during the Vietnam War, "My government is the world's leading purveyor of violence." CLIP - There is also a related article at http://www.peaceonearth.net/8million.htm Epidemiology of Violent Deaths in the World http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/pub-res/epi_of_violence.htm This study describes epidemiologic patterns of mortality due to suicide, homicide, and war for the world in order to serve as a benchmark against which to measure future progress and to raise awareness about violence as a global public health problem. (...) If we are to envision a less violent world, we must first understand how violent the world is. The extent of global violence, however, has never been fully described. But now, with the availability of reliable estimates, it is possible to examine the impact of violence world wide. Such an analysis is timely, because violence has emerged as a global public health priority.In 1996, the World Health Assembly declared violence a leading global public health problem.1 This declaration acknowledges the necessity of implementing a global strategy to address violence as a health issue that can be prevented. The first step toward building the foundation necessary to control and prevent violence is describing the magnitude and nature of the problem.2This study describes, for the first time, epidemiologic patterns of violence related mortality (including homicide, suicide, and war) for the world and its major regions.

From: http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/CallPeaceVigil.htm Call for a Global Peace Vigil Dear Sisters and Brothers of the Light We came here in this world to manifest some of the innate divine potential we all inherit as souls/sparks of the One Divine Consciousness. All is in all and in all of us resides the power to make this world a Place of Harmony, a Kingdom of Peace, an Oasis of Love in an infinitely loving, caring, sentient and living universe. We are now approaching the climaxing crossroad of our long evolutionary continuum of life as we near the end of a cycle and will soon open up a new chapter of our marvelous experience in the realm of matter and density. At this crossroad, some very defining experiences and tests are awaiting us. The decisions and choices we each will soon make shall be the most revealing sign of our maturity and readiness to enter into a new exhilarating phase of our collective evolutionary journey or will mark the postponement of our participation to this global evolutionary journey. Right now, a special test needs to be met with utmost dedication and continuous attention if this world is to enter - as planned and prepared for - into this new realm of loving, unifying and compassionate participation to the grand theatre of spiritual evolution. On both sides of the polarity fence, tremendous forces have been gathered to make this experience one of the most challenging and most preciously illuminating ones as to our possibilities and abilities to overcome fear, manifest love and become the living examples of peaceful behaviour and cooperative collaboration towards social harmony and the wellbeing of all life forms. The specifics of the exact circumstances of this challenge are not important. What matters is our inner sense of belonging to the Forces of Light, of being an Earth Healer and a living, breathing expression of the Divine Universal Consciousness, endowed with powers of redemption and magnification of the Good Will of Life beyond anyone's wildest imagining. A human being is NOT just a body of bones, blood and flesh. When the living Spark of Consciousness leaves the body, it becomes inanimate and cold and begins to decompose. The Spirit that animates our bodies lives on and this Holy Spirit is what we really are. And as Spirits living for a given period in a vehicle of flesh, we still retain all our infinite powers and abilities. We just forgot it. Now we remember. Now we reawaken, Now we become who we really are. For now is the time to do so. In the coming weeks and months, a great battle will be waged between those of the Shadow and those of the Light. Just as in the time of Atlantis, our world will face tremendous odds and have remarkable experiences to go through. Whatever circumstances we might find ourselves in, let us always remember to keep the door closed to fear in our minds and trust that our indomitable and immortal Spirit will always find a way to guide us into the right place, inspire us with the right thoughts, words and actions and enable us to consume victoriously the perfectly designed plan for our redemption from the world of matter and illusion. Whenever doubts creep in your mind, remember to reconnect with the living Spirit of God within you. Close your eyes if necessary, allow yourself to become in your own self-perception who you really are, and join in thoughts, Love and Lightful manifestation of your divine magnificence with all the millions and millions of soulmates and protecting angels and guides who, just like you, are contributing to make this world a perfectly healed and peaceful Eden of beauty and thus make manifest the blissful sense of Oneness with All That Is. Maintain a spiritual linkage with your brethrens of the One Life, all over the Earth, on all dimensions, in a continuous overlapping Peace vigil, knowing that in every given moment, hundreds of thousands will be linked just like you into the continuum of healing Love radiating from each fragment of our One Soul to make this world anew into what it is meant to be, as we all know in the deepest recess of our heart. And using all your connections and relations, spread the word in the physical realm of Life so as to share this Call for a Global Peace Vigil with all those who are ready and able to participate willfully and consciously into this keystone moment, at the hour of the greatest need. This is our secret weapon, a tool so powerful that no matter what the others might attempt to do to disrupt us, they will never succeed in dismantling it. We are millions and millions of Soldiers of God/dess, Rainbow Manifestors of the sublime radiance of Love, scattered all over the Earth, trained, ready and able to wage one of the last battles to eradicate the power of Darkness from the face of this living Earth. And the place where this battle is waged, the very center of this battleground is in our very minds and hearts. Connected together in a living network of synergistic Light and Love, impregnated with the polarities of Mother Earth and Father Sun and detonated from within the crystal core of our living Spirit by the Will of God, we have already won the battle.

From: http://www.wewantpeaceonearth.com/book/p-ch8.htm Inner Peace We can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace. Peace already exists within each of us, if we only allow ourselves to feel its comfort. Peace of mind begins when we stop thinking about how far we have to go, or how hard the road has been, and just let ourselves feel peace. Peace of mind gives us the strength to keep trying and keep walking along the path that we KNOW is right for our lives. The life of a peacemaker is a daily decision to refocus and rededicate ourselves to put peacemaking first in our list of priorities. We refocus and rededicate our lives by allowing ourselves to feel inner peace so that we can once again see our greater purpose and know that our lives as peacemakers are making a difference. We are part of a movement that has worked throughout history towards humanity's greatest goal - creating peace on earth. <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> 3.
