Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 Thank you very much for your thoughts. Dr. King is a hero of mine, too. It would be a real shame to not learn something from all this. I am slowly starting to hear from scattered points, the calls for examining ourselves and especially our position in the Israel-Palestine conflict. There is so much indignation going on, though, to make it nearly impossible to stop this train. They want revenge first and then talk later. I am very concerned. I think we must all call, write or email our reps in D.C. Will the Circle be Unbroken?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 I am not usre if I can add any further wisdom to what has already been said. A friend of mine who is not religious always remembers to pray for world peace before each meal and uses it as a salutation. True peace can only come from within. As we are changed and become at peace within ourselves then we can pass that peace on to those around us. A soft word turns away anger pray for world peace Brian Dharam Singh [dharam] September 15, 2001 4:54 PM Kundaliniyoga Re: Good vs Evil Thank you very much for your thoughts.
