Peace Begins with Me. Peace Australia.

The "Peace Begins with Me" program is built around the simple notion that lasting peace begins in the hearts and minds of us all. It is simple mathematics to realize that peace in our thoughts, prayers and meditations translates into peace in the world. While there is still anger and hate within and between us, then somewhere it will have to be vented, and so there is conflict and war.

By taking personal responsibility for war we stop laying blame and getting angry (contributing to more war!) and accept that we are all accountable to start changing the world consciousness beginning with ourselves. Our childlike conclusion is that each peaceful action makes a lasting change for peace in the world, and eventually government leaders and lasting political change will follow.

"Peace Begins with Me" is the opportunity for you to register your or your group's actions for peace. No matter how small, your efforts are a step for each of us and you will be surprised how the smallest action makes the largest statement. Gandhi's spoon of salt was the beginning of the end for England's colonialism. You need to be a member of the World Peace Society first, and we ask that each action will have at least a one minute meditation for peace.

Gautam	While we are speaking about Peace I am thinking only about our family. I strongly believe that a good family may build a peaceful society up and the society may build a peaceful world up. In this case we have the main responsibility to make a good family. So every one should think good one and teach family member the same thing. We must be careful not to do anything that might endanger our neighbor. I think we carry all time the magic stick of our Peace. Just utilize it and make a real peaceful world.

David	I found a computer-grade level puzzle in the book of Matthew. Being of the family of David on paper on my mother's side, and seeing how the world looks like what "Revelations" looks like, I took the high road and have attempted to fulfill the role of the very last Jewish Prophet, for I think I did this right for all persons on Planet Earth. To see if I did this right, please go to the following link http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Number=112025 and read my post "Decoding the family secret." I posted but did not participate in the discussion group so as to set a time and date stamp on this post. Peace, in 24 hours with your own hands. David Brager	Sunday, August 12, 2007
Cheryl	I have started a new group at my VOX blog called "United for Peace". People of all races, cultures, religious and non religious backgrounds must learn to accept each other and live with one another for lasting peace to be achieved - This group is designed to encourage constructive interaction between all of the different groups throughout the world and be United for Peace. The guidlines for the group are: Contributions to the group should be without anger and blame. Peace cannot be achieved if we have anger in our hearts and continue to place blame on others. However please by all means express your opinions and concerns. Just follow the simple guidelines: Criticise the action, not the perpetrator; criticise the argument and not the person making the argument and criticise the policy and not the politician. As Gandhi said, "Hate the sin and love the sinner."	Friday, May 25, 2007

ALINA	when there's so much hatred & violence & vindictiveness in this world when people's only mission is to hurt others we can only accomplish peace by fogiving those who have hurt us otherwise our entire life will BE engulfed in feelings of hate & revenge.What an unhappy way to live !! "when our hatred is too keen it places us beneath those we hate." -Francois de la Rochefoucauld PEACE & LOVE TO ALL ALINA KAR	Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Elayn	Hello. Till about two years ago I didn't understand the word peace. I thought I did. It wasn't until I lost my peace and my world was shaken that I really came to understand what PEACE means and how precious it is. On Oct 29 2004 my very best friend, my ex-boyfriend, was mXXrdered. Various other things happened in my personal life at the time and until last weekend - breakthrough! - I have not slept for more than 3 hours in a row on any given night. I have worked hard to resolve my anger on many levels, to cope with my grief and to achieve peace and joy in my life. I am now doing great and I really get that until there is peace in the heart of every man, woman and child there will not be peace on Earth. I am not angry with the men who kXLLed him - but I am shocked to the core when I think about the circumstances that must have produced such angry desperate men. I hope they find peace in their lifetimes. I wish you all the best on your journeys as well.	Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Tom	Dear God... whom through different eyes, all man see... I pray to you for 'peace'. Weapons are drawn to the ready, with fingers itching to pull. Brother is aiming at brother, through eyes that see hate and fear. Dear God... I ask you close those eyes, so my brother can see through his heart. Place 'mirrors' between each brother, so their 'targets' they can learn to love!	Monday, July 31, 2006

Caitlin	Waking up and giving thanks every day helps me to start my day ina peaceful way and acknowledge how lucky I am to live ina country not torn apart by war. As I watch the news I take a moment to send love to those in distres and bless them. Having seen Dr Emoroto's work with water I also bless the water I drink and use in my shower so that the loving vibration place in them can circulate around the world and come back to me. Try it! the water actually tastes sweeter. I love you water, I am grateful to you water, I respect you water . And in doing this I bless myself as I am mostly water.	Monday, September 26, 2005
SARAH	Every time I visit a park and see the beauty of the wild at peace, I always ponder on the fact that human beings are unable to achieve peace, while animals in all their wild can live with such peace. This picture shows that these very aggressive animals can live in peace, yet we humans find it so hard to live with no war! lets all say NO to WAR and promote peace all the way!! Everytime you see an animal please remember we must all be peace makers and spread peace. It starts with me, it starts with YOU!!	Wednesday, August 18, 2004

sunirmalya	Students at Colorado Rocky Mountain School (www.crms.org) celebrated Earth Day & Dandelion Days 2004 by creating Human Earth Art, acknowledging our interdependence with the Earth and with all living creatures. The art pieces are human body mosaics, about 50 feet large, of a Tree Rooted in the Earth and a Peace Sign, set within a sea of blossoming dandelions on the CRMS campus, Carbondale, Colorado. Human Earth Art represents the school's long-standing commitment to environmental education and stewardship. An Earth Day committee of about 15 students and teachers organized the Human Earth Art exhibit, along with environmental awareness activities on campus, and a booth at the Dandelion Days fair in Carbondale. The Earth Day group at Colorado Rocky Mountain School hopes that the Human Earth Art plants seeds of understanding and community awareness of our commitment to environmental stewardship.

guiseppe	I am touched by this fantastic site - you are really trying to make it so that people see that lasting peace begins with each of us making our own changes within us. I have not been disciplined enough about my prayer and meditation so from now on i am going to spend at least 15 minutes every morning meditating for peace.. Thank you!!!!! (i also have put a place of peace poster in my room thanks!!)	Saturday, March 22, 2003
