today is the 82nd anniversary of pearl harbor and i intend on attending to bearing witness to peace and pachamama, the living earth…

WE ARE EARTH.
JUST LIKE EARTH, OUR BODIES ARE 70% WATER,
WITH THE SAME PROPORTION OF SALT AS THE OCEANS.
OUR BONES ARE MADE STRONG BY LIMESTONE
THAT COMES FROM PREHISTORIC SHELLFISH.
EVERY ATOM OF OUR BODY
HAS BEEN A ROCK OR A BUTTERFLY OR A DAISY OR A LION.
WHAT WE CALL MOUNTAIN, AIR, AND OCEAN
ARE THE BONES, THE BREATH, AND THE BLOOD
OF OUR MOST ANCIENT ANCESTORS
AND OUR FUTURE DESCENDANTS.
WE BELONG TO EARTH.

we come together today from across the planet, our island home for a twemty-four hour vigil to bear witness and take action for our earthmother, our one body, our home…

may we open to the complexity and mystery of our relationship to Earth and develop our humanity so that we can hold more of the whole and respond to life from that wholeness by connecting with the truth that we are one body…

our earth mother’s heartbeat echoes through all our relations… feel the momentum building as more and more of us hear her call to rise up and stand together as one large orchestra playing a seamless symphony and re-joy-sing in the harmony we embody as a beautiful wave now encircling the cosmos – peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is…

join with me now in breathing deeply in to the womb of being while placing a hand on your heart and with each deep breath, feel your heart, our one heart, opening a little wider re-membering we all belong to each other, each of our individual destinies is tied with our one collective destiny… to journey to the core of our being, to our heart of gold to be our original face of radiant love, dancing with rainbow mystery…

there is so much to celebrate in this moment of eternity, this moment of the astonishing light of our interbeing…

the state of aloha is still alive today following day before yesterday’s celebration as many across the planet come to honor Masahisa Goi with Global Peace Pole Day on what would be his 107th birthday… this movement began in the Asaksa district of Tokyo where Masahisa Goi often called Goisen was born in 1916… growing up to be a mystic, a visionary, a spiritual teacher and a great lover of literature and the arts, he was a prolific writer of books and thousands of articles, but most importantly, he is known for authoring the universal message, invocation and prayer:

May peace prevail on earth.

Goi was 28 when the atomic bombs fell on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
which was a pivotal moment that shaped his lifelong mission as a peacemaker…
soon after the surrender of Japan, Goi immersed himself in spiritual studies and healing work and at age 33 he reached the so called enlightened state of being and
real-eyesed that Japan has a mission to send a strong message of peace out to the world…

with much suffering and poverty in post war Japan, his loving presence brought great comfort to the hearts and minds of many who gathered around him; his ultimate teaching was to ask everyone to immerse themselves wholeheartedly in the daily recitation of the peace prayer, may peace prevail on earth, which fosters personal as well as planetary peace leading to the simultaneous awakening of the individual self as well as the conscious awakening of humanity…

his grassroots movement now involves people from 193 countries who have planted over 250,000 needles or peace poles in the earth over the last fifty years to ground and root this lasting peace in the stillpoint of creation…may we take this moment to generate and re-generate waves of brilliant light…

as we close this annual celebration of Goisen and his song of peace that cleanses us and activates our personal and collective nervous system to flow in harmony with all our relations, let us close our eyes and tune into the one cosmic heart where peace prevails for a moment of peace for the cosmos…

~

every moment is pregnant with the promise of peace… with every breath, consciously practice peace saying/feeling: i am peace, may we all be peace with every breath… for all the moments of today on the remaining two days of global unity week across the planet, we will be intending deep peace culminating on thursday with the International Day of Peace… thanks to all for joining in a heartfelt effort to be peace for our cosmos…

Invocation for Peace

We call all noble-hearted people to find within the light of love and divinity that dwells in them from immemorial times, since our souls have existed.
May this light … expand on the earth showering her face with peace and harmony.
May this light … calm and harmonize the black shadow of war, violence, hate and disharmony .
May this light … fill the hearts of all people and the sites of nations where the shadow of violence has found a place to stay.

May this light reach the hearts and minds of ALL the Heads of State,
of ALL leaders of the revolution from  right to left, from north to south.

We extend our profound gratitude to all the medicine people of the world, all men, women and children from  different cultures, races and creeds, all our relations from all cardinal directions who have joined us and those who will join us in this effort to raise a prayer for peace and nonviolence…

We wash away the cries of the distressed, the blood of the victims of violence, the pain of their families.

May they be replaced by the innocent laughter of children, the ideals of youth and the wisdom of life of our elders.
May we no longer know the signs of strife: to hear birds singing sorrows, nor watch clouds stained with blood, nor feel breezes intense with heat, nor see rivers swollen by the mountains’ tears.
May new fraternal bonds of unity and peace formed through our invocation together  embrace humanity in harmony with itself and with nature.

shanti shanti shantihi…

“The Symphony of Peace Prayers builds upon our diversity to create a sense of oneness. Through our collaboration, and by bringing our hearts together, we are building a peaceful world.”
~ Masami Saionji, Fuji Sanctuary ~

building a peaceful world begins with each and every one of us; we are being called upon in this moment of eternity of existential crisis to transcend our differences in faith, creed, ethnicity, nationality, and background, and to come together with an elevated consciousness to forge a new path of light going forward with the Symphony of Peace Prayers aiming to be one of the vehicles for our cosmic transformation…

celebrated every year in May since 2005, this 19th celebration of the Symphony of Peace Prayers was especially rich with the theme of circulating the peace prayers around the planet on this day i devoted to listening in reverence to so many wisdomkeepers as i “travel” to the land of the rising sun with Mt Fuji as background…

following the offerings of prayers for peace on earth, there’s an amazing ceremony with each of the 194 flags of the countries on earth brought forward so we can all chant together peace in _ saying peace in the country’s native language… it is so beautiful, encouraging, heartening and inspiring to be awash in this symphony of peace…

here is the vision for a world of peace from the Fuji Declaration:

“As individuals responsible for the future of life on Earth, we hereby declare that:

We affirm the divine spark in the heart and mind of every human being and intend to live by its light in every sphere of our existence. • We commit ourselves to fulfilling our shared mission of creating lasting peace on Earth through our ways of living and acting. • We intend to live and act so as to enhance the quality of life and the well-being of all forms of life on the planet, recognizing that all living things in all their diversity are interconnected and are one. • We will continually strive to free the human spirit for deep creativity, and to nurture the transformation necessary to forge a new paradigm in all spheres of human activity, including economics, science, medicine, politics, business, education, religion, the arts, communications and the media. • We shall make it our mission to design, communicate and implement a more spiritual and harmonious civilization—a civilization that enables humankind to realize its inherent potential and advance to the next stage of its material, spiritual, and cultural evolution.

AWAKENING THE DIVINE SPARK IN THE SPIRIT OF HUMANITY For a Civilization of Oneness with Diversity on Planet Earth”

peace prevails on earth…

Waging Peace with the Living Earth

WE ARE EARTH.
JUST LIKE EARTH, OUR BODIES ARE 70% WATER,
WITH THE SAME PROPORTION OF SALT AS THE OCEANS.
OUR BONES ARE MADE STRONG BY LIMESTONE
THAT COMES FROM PREHISTORIC SHELLFISH.
EVERY ATOM OF OUR BODY
HAS BEEN A ROCK OR A BUTTERFLY OR A DAISY OR A LION.
WHAT WE CALL MOUNTAIN, AIR, AND OCEAN
ARE THE BONES, THE BREATH, AND THE BLOOD
OF OUR MOST ANCIENT ANCESTORS
AND OUR FUTURE DESCENDANTS.
WE BELONG TO EARTH.

let us come together in this moment of eternity from across the planet, our island home, to wage peace and take action for our earthmother, our one body, our home…

may we open to the complexity and mystery of our relationship with Earth and develop ourselves so that we can hold more of the whole and respond to life from that wholeness by connecting with the truth that we are one body, anyway we hurt mama gaia, we hurt ourselves and anyway we hurt ourselves, we hurt pachamama…

our earth mother’s heartbeat echoes through all our relations… feel the momentum building as more and more of us hear her call to rise up and stand together as one large orchestra playing a seamless symphony re-joy-sing in the harmony we embody as a beautiful wave now encircling the cosmos – peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… yes, even in these painful, stretched to the max times at the ending stages of a long drawn out pregnancy, peace prevails in the core of the earth of our interbeeing…

join with me now in breathing deeply into the womb of interbeeing while placing a hand on your heart and with each deep breath, feel your heart, our one heart, opening a little wider re-membering we all belong to each other, each of our individual destinies is tied with our one collective destiny… to journey to the core of our interbeeing, to our heart of gold to be our original face of radiant love, dancing with rainbow mystery…

this new moon invites our taking up our bows and arrows focusing on our dreams – yes, it is time to ignite our inspirations, visions and ideas as we rise from the underworld, the inner world to plant the seeds we’ve been gathering for the next phase of the cosmic unfolding… how and what are you rebirthing in this lunar phase?

in addition to celebrating the new moon, today, a day late, feeling and being in the state of aloha consciousness i join in the honoring Masahisa Goi with Global Peace Pole Day on what would be his 106th birthday… he was a young man when his countries’ cities of Hiroshima Nagasaki were bombed and he devoted the rest of his life to peace prevailing on earth beginning a grassroots movement involving people from 193 countries who have planted over 250,000 needles or peace poles in the earth over the last fifty years to ground and root this lasting peace in the stillpoint of creation…

may we take this moment to generate and re-generate waves of brilliant light…

Oh Great Spirit who dwells in the sky,
lead us to the path of peace and understanding,
let all of us live together as brothers and sisters.
Our lives are so short here, walking upon Mother Earth’s surface,
let our eyes be opened to all the blessings you have given us.
Thank you for hear our prayers, Oh Great Spirit…

in closing our new moon ceremony:

“Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of your friends and relatives, and look upon them with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of your pledge.

Be fair in your judgment, and guarded in your speech. Be unjust to no one. Be as a lamp to them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, and a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression.

Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all your acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.

Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of humankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility.”

~The Blessed Beauty~
(The Spiritual Teacher who revealed this Sacred Teaching, also known as the Ancient of Days)

every outbreath, an emptying… every inbreath, a re-membering…

ah, another day of winging across the vast skysea and being a celestial chanting instrument of peace for every moment is pregnant with the promise of peace, our attention and intention manifest it with our every breath consciously saying/feeling:

i am peace, we are all peace with every breath… join me now in invoking a peace meditation on the eve of world peace day…

celebrated every year in May since 2005, it was actually last Saturday – between the outpouring of so many things going down and the breakdown of my websites and the timelessness of reality – this is the moment i want to write of something and somewhere i so love being a part of each year as i “travel” to the land of the rising sun with Mt Fuji as background…

peace prevails on earth…

“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.”
~ John  Kennedy ~

on this day, may we come together standing in love for love to invoke peace…

Peace to all beings
Whether near or far
Known or unknown
Real or imaginary
Visible or invisible
Born or yet to be born.
May all beings
Be well and happy
And filled with lovingkindness
Peace to all beings

Within and beyond the imagination
In the world of ideas
In the world of memories
And in the world of dreams.
May all beings
Be well and happy
And filled with lovingkindness

Peace in all elements
Of earth, air, fire and water
Fulfilled in space, time and consciousness
Peace

Peace in all universes
From the smallest cells in our bodies
To the greatest galaxies in space
Peace
And light rising

Peace to all beings
Within each being here
To those beings that have been in the past
And to those beings that are yet to be in the future
May all beings
Within each being here
Be well and happy
And filled with lovingkindness…

may we listen deeply for gaia’s call connecting with the wisdom of the ancestors on whose shoulders we stand  celebrating those who have stewarded earth mother for ten thousand years…

“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
 ~Thich Nhat Hanh~
