Quote of the Week
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Weekly Newsletter Article
Peace
“Let there be Peace on earth and Let it begin with Me!” are lyrics from The Peace Song that ended most Unity and Religious Science Church Services that I had attended. That particular verse always touched me deeply.
That verse forced me to understand that I would never truly experience Peace in the world until I had established Peace within Myself! To me, that was a life-changing revelation.
Up until that time, I had believed that the circumstance surrounding my life needed to be in order for me to experience Peace. The way that life works, I might be waiting forever. However, I had total control over my own feelings and personal beliefs. Finding Peace within myself grounded me to attract and establish Peace in the world in which I lived.
Viewing the world from a place of Inner Peace now provides the ability to clearly see where and how my talents can be applied to help others. Without that grounding, in most cases, I would just add to the confusion.
Eleanor Roosevelt was an advocate of Equality and Justice in the United States and around the world. She was one of the most widely admired and powerful women of her time. After her husband’s death in 1945, she became the U.S. delegate to the United Nations and took a principal role in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She didn’t only talk about or believe in Peace and Human Rights, she took action. She is a marvelous example for All of us to follow.
As spiritual beings on this human life journey, our charge is to establish Peace within ourselves and then extend that Peace outward. This requires working on ending wars and creating an environment for worldwide Peace.
In order to move in this direction division need to be healed and the rights of ALL people need to be recognized. We need to see each other as equal partners in this campaign for Peace. The boundaries that we have placed based by gender, race, religion and nationality need to be lifted.
This may sound like a tall order; however, this is where mankind began. With our technology and sophistication, it is time for us to come full circle.
In the United States and in Democracies around the world, this action takes the form of a VOTE.
It is time to take action for Peace!
Peace & Richest Blessings Always,
