To all Peaceworkers,
In this Ring of Power we want to introduce you to the GRACE Pilgrimage planned for the 1st until the 9th November 2010, near Bogota, Colombia. We want it to be a truly planetary pilgrimage, with participants who are threatened in a similar way from all parts of the world and who will be given the opportunity to unite under the protective umbrella of international forces. The pilgrimage will be led by Padre Javier Giraldo, Benjamin von Mendelssohn and myself, and many more committed people. We wish for as many people as possible to actively take part.
We do not fight against any system, but instead, affirm the possibility of a humane and global alternative.
It is the same longing for life which is calling inside all of us. It is for the worldwide realization of such values that we work for the development of the „Global Campus“. In the rain forest of Colombia, the village of „Mulatos“ is being developed into a new centre. Mulatos is part of the Peace Village of San José de Apartado. It is there that a „Planetary Centre for the Learning of Peace“ is put into existence. (The Miracle of Mulatos: http://www.verlag-meiga.org/node/214 ).
We invite courageous forces to become active by making such models known and henceforth to receive the public protection they need. You can support the pilgrimage financially in order to facilitate the participation of as many people from crisis areas as possible, so that they can come to walk the GRACE Pilgrimage 2010 in Bogota, from Tibet, Palestine, India and from all over Latin America! Help to save human lives! Let's make the „Miracle of Mulatos“ a persuasive precedent for a new wave of hope for Latin America and its indigenous inhabitants!
The following text of empowerment is a text that gives me and other human beings on Earth the courage and the strength to do our work.
Text of Empowerment:
Excerpt from a letter by Dieter Duhm
(...)
The power on Earth no longer lies on the side of imperialistic violence, but on the side of those groups who today connect worldwide with the forces of transformation.
Not terror and violence, but trust and solidarity will rule the world. This is not a wishful dream, but the objective reality of the coming epoch. The shift of power has already begun if we cooperate with each other in the right manner.
For this purpose we have been working for several years in Tamera on building the so-called "Global Campus". (...)
Worldwide, the matrix of violence and the matrix of life are colliding with each other. Worldwide, people are killed, animals tortured, and landscapes and oceans destroyed in this collision. Worldwide, the pain bears down on all people involved and all those who are still capable of compassion. It is a global and historical pain, not a local or private one.
Even the best resources of individual people are not sufficient to change the system of violence. The globalization of violence cannot be overcome by moral appeals or by political protests, but only through an effective alliance of diverse peace forces on Earth. This worldwide alliance needs a common geistig base, a common technological/ecological know-how and a common planetary perspective. (...)
In this planetary spirit the forces we need for the development of new models multiply, all the way down to the most elemental human issues of sex, love, partnership, home and trust. They are the same questions in the East and West, from Mexico City to Sao Paulo, Sekem to Tilonia, from San Jose to Bethlehem. The same human issues in both the rich and the poor countries, in the perpetrators and in the victims.(...)
After all, behind all pain still shines the sacred matrix, the universal order of love and the unity of all beings. Our goal is to connect worldwide with the powers of the sacred matrix and allow a new human civilization. May God's blessing lie on our common work !
In the name of the children.
In the name of love.
In the name of warmth for all creatures.
Sentence of Empowerment: The shift of power has already begun if we cooperate with each other in the right manner.
With best wishes!
