The Peace Church
This ain't your grandmas church! Get on the Peace Tour!
The Peace Church is a new church. Formed online and moving into real brick and mortar buldings and locations. Most churches start offline and then begin to brodcast on the air.
The people stepping forward to be Minister of Peace are Spiritual Revolutionaries charging forward to share their gifts and help inviduals and communities find peace within themselves.
Many are on the road trusting that donations will come in and go to bed at night not knowing the "how" but most certainly know the "why"
We can join them in becoming creating a more peaceful world.
- Pledge to honor ourselves, each other and the environment.
- Express our gratitude for all of the gifts we have been given.
- Practice forgiveness and demonstrate compassion.
- Choose peaceful thoughts, words and deeds.
The Dalai Lama teaches that it is insane to think hate will stop hate or that violence will stop violence and violence. More violence and more hatred means suffering.
Violence can achieve certain short term goals, but in the long run their "true nature" will come out.
Our world is interconnected and interdependent, we must all recognize the need for world peace.
True peace is a sense of tranquility and freedom based on a feeling of security and trust that all our needs are taken care of. When we trust in a Higher Power, by whatever name we use, we can attain a sense of personal peace.
World peace begins with each of us. There can be no peace in the world if there is no peace in the individual.
Can you think about ways ways violence may show up in your world and how you can change it.
What we think about, we bring about.
By changing your thinking, you can change your life. If you focus on violence as a solution to your problems, you will attract more violence into your life. On the other hand, if you focus on peace, you will experience more peace in your life.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Alright, virtual people. Good luck with whatever it is you are talking about. I just want a place to live where there are other people like what you are talking about, real people. Is it true, do they exist? This year I have to go to a rainbow gathering and Urantia book conference. It's my only chance. Or find some place in California or Big Island. There is no peace for me in this world. Everybody has their own thing and is that what you meant by the Grandmas who are so content with their lives. Maybe I can find one who needs help with gardening or something. I haven't eaten anything for three days except water and bee pollen. It feels somewhat peaceful. It is like dying. When you are on your deathbed, you forget all the petty antagonisms of this world, and get ready to die. That's where I am at. I need to find something, like a woofer position where I can stay and be happy for a long time.

hi hope u found what u were looking 4 at the rainbow. Personally I find my time at them a mixture of heaven n hell like it's wonderful and safe so all your stuff decides it's safe to come bubbling up to be sorted.
Me new to virtual and being less mobile due to health I find it inspiring to see all that people are up to
however I do know what it's like to feel isolated which is what I'm hearing. I hope u find your peaceful place with heart.
I am a Grandma in tribal sense and I know a little of what u mean of facing death clears the clutter. As I live in UK and not in US and not in a community yet, I can't offer u a place in return 4 gardening though it's a lovely idea.
If u ever get to SW Eire nr Bantry there's a in a place called Future Forests a new age gardening center that does Feeding 4 Weeding and a place to stay that I came across via a rainbow. The owner has a strong vision if u can cope w that.
However I'm sure that there will be something closer to home maybe found via a rainbow where you'll find mutual appreciation, all the best w your quest teri

hi again some was lost in it's saving so I'm adding on here and some wisdom I heard about taking that which is useful and blowing the rest to the wind.
From my understanding, and I need to practise this better myself, we attract what we are clear on, so you may need to check that everything inside is pulling in the same direction.
I love pollen and have eaten it w only water sometimes 4 breakfast, however I found if I eat it too far away from bloodsugar stablising foods, ie wholegrains, it threw my bloodsugar out and u may need to check it's not affecting the emotional energy and tone you need to manifest your hearts desires.
Also do u know your blood type as it can be very helpful to follow the diet 4 type especially if you are type A , like my partner, as they've been shown to have a higher resting level of cortisol the stress hormone, so although they are often sensitive and caring and into contributing, if thats is the case, it can undermine attempts at attracting via positive thinking and a simple dietary adjustment maybe the missing piece of the jigsaw 4 u. Anyway I really hope u find the people and situation you're looking 4 and a lasting happiness. teri
