Peace Archive: For Peace and Hope

Change never comes easily, but the impending holocaust the world now faces is helping to raise collective consciousness regarding the alarming rate of destruction caused to the world ecosystem, as well as to the human immune system. It is a matter of our survival as a species.

Nationalistic borders are obsolete, as people all over the world become aware of the need to focus constructively on issues of justice, the environment, and corporate power. Accountability has reached astonishing levels.

As we work toward achieving world peace, the entire global community must strive for consensus on matters of military disarmament, and worldwide adoption of energy efficient and ecologically friendly technologies, as well as major economic and social reforms. It is interesting that the world is focused on the Middle East, and particularly Mesopotamia and the Tigris Euphrates valley where the world's oldest urban civilization developed around the magnificent Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Humanity is still developing and human civilization must be nurtured globally for the blossoming of human wisdom and it's fruits in peaceful co-habitation.

In the book "The Alphabet vs The Goddess" scientist Leonard Shlain (Chief of Laparoscopic Surgery at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and Associate Professor of Surgery at UCSF) offers real hope for the future of humanity through his perspective on the evolution of the human brain: a perspective that has helped me to forgive the atrocities that humans have unleashed in the world throughout the last few thousand years. Shlain explains how the right lobes of the brain first evolved holistic, image based nurturing; feminine aptitudes for peaceful coexistence. The left hemisphere developed, in turn, rational, linear, logical or masculine modes of perception, and consequently suppressed holistic image based nurturing aptitudes. Today, humanity has evolved the means to achieve harmony between our nurturing feminine qualities and our rational masculine qualities. We just need more time to put these attributes into practice.

As the twenty first century unfolds, humanity will find the will to intelligently nurture the highest golden age of civilization all over the world, because that is simply the best choice for the survival of the whole planet. In the coming decades, brilliant people everywhere will inspire goodwill on all levels of human aspiration. Billions of people want to actively share their vision for peace on earth.

This Peace Archive serves as a reminder that nurturing qualities must go hand in hand with intellectual integrity if we are to manifest peace on earth.

In peace and with hope,
