// A new culture arises by reconnecting to the eternal laws of love and community

To all Peaceworkers,

We celebrated the close of the Summer University 2009 with a wonderful chorus singing "We are the World." The Summer University was an intensive and moving time of mutual visions, compassion, and growing hope. The prospect of budding peace villages worldwide came alive as oases of strength and development for the creation of new life systems.

It was not easy to see our comrades from Colombia leave again, knowing the dangers that face them upon their return. We are circulating a petition and asking everyone, who trusts both us and them, to please sign it. International attention in this case can save lives.

To join in look at:

At the end of the Summer University an essay written by Dieter Duhm was handed out to all the participants. His words give us strength and connect us with one another, independently of where in the world we do the work needed for a future without war. If you like this essay, we ask you to please pass it on. We give thanks for all courageous spirits.

SAVE THE WORLD

A message from Grace - Movement for a Free Earth

Our planet is in big danger. The current civilization is running into a global catastrophe. But we see another possibility. Our planet was not born for death but for life, for love, for joy. The great family of life is not born for mutual killing, but for cooperation and friendship between all beings, humans, animals, plants, rivers and seas. All beings are joined in the sacred matrix. Behind all the wars we see the real possibility to manifest this vision of peace, to change the apocalyptic time into a new age of trust and to turn the world of anxiety into a world of joy. We see a future where no child is abandoned by his parents, no woman is raped, no animal is killed because of its beautiful coat, no mother is weeping about her killed son and no son will go to war, because there is no war in the world any more.

We see a growing number of pilgrims, coming from all continents and forming a new planetary Movement for a Free Earth. We see the stream of a different globalization. The globalization of peace. We see it like a dream, but it is reality, the real birth of a new reality. We see thousands of people coming over a hill. They are not bound to any nation, language, culture, religion or race, not to riches or possessions. They help in areas of misery, they visit holy sites and they are on the way to new anchorages and new communities. They encounter each other at camp fires, in barns or hostels, they sing international songs, share their bread and develop a new quality of hospitality and readiness to help. A lot of them wear a symbol to indicate their membership in the MOVEMENT FOR A FREE EARTH, sometimes simply called GRACE. They share some rules: truth, mutual support, help for all in misery, grace instead of revenge, no violence against animals and “Be the change you want to see in the world.” This development is supported by the emergence of completely new centers spreading slowly across the Earth. We call them “healing biotopes” or “peace villages”. They serve the pilgrims both as hostels and as places in which to study and work . These centers are research-places for developing the technological, social and spiritual structures of a non-violent world society. The centers are aware of each other, they are on the same path and they definitely have taken on responsibility for the future of the planet. Together they form an international network called the “Global Campus”. We see the real worldwide beginning of a new culture, the dawn of an new era. We see some main lines of the new planetary movement developing:

- Reconciliation and cooperation between humans and nature.

- Deep reconciliation of the genders and the ending of the war of the sexes. Truth in sex and love. Coming together of free love and real partnership. (One of the key sentences is: “There will be no peace on earth as long as there is war in love.”)

- Reunion of the human and the divine world.

- Remembering the sources of culture. Connection of ancient and indigenous wisdom with today´s knowledge and technology.

One of the new planetary centers is Tamera in Portugal. Founded in 1995, it is now a peace research center with about 180 co-workers and young students. Here arises a specific living model in the form of a Solar Village, based on new energy systems combined with new systems for water and food. We are currently building a test-field for this planned Solar Village, where future possibilities for self-sufficient energy supply, water supply and food supply will be demonstrated by means of new solar technologies. This project is connected with a complex system of aquaculture and permaculture (Sepp Holzer). In October we will hold a meeting here for sponsors, at which the facilities can be examined. There is also a noetic center for new age topics of arts, gospel, love, partnership, healing, global vision, and living in community. On November 9th we will celebrate, as every year, the Global Grace Day, which is joined by many groups at many places on Earth.

We invite all who like these thoughts to take part as well.

The youth center of Tamera has written the "Manifesto of the Movement for a Free Earth". There we read the following sentences:

What we want is not to be normal but to be true.

What we want is not to fight against the old system but to create a new system.

What we want is the full liberation of love and sexuality from fear.

What we want is to strengthen our will in the conscious decision to serve peace - outside and inside.(...) All of this will only succeed in the long term with a base of humanely functioning, grounded community. We cannot realise the highest goals if we are not able to found functioning communities which can survive. Ecological humanism needs new social structures. A new culture arises by reconnecting to the eternal laws of love and community. There are many ways to reach this goal, but there is only one key to open the gate: rediscovering trust.

May we, the youth of all countries, step out of our pasts and enter into a new era of planetary thinking and planetary friendship.

Let us join in faith, trust and alertness. Let us celebrate our growing planetary community. In the name of all children,

in the name of love,

for a future without war.
