"We are on the planet to be and express the Divine Love of God that is alive in every fiber of our being, waiting to be released through us unto our world. Living as love is a way of life that brings heaven on earth."
~~~Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith

In 2007, Rev. Michael Beckwith ("The Secret") and James Twyman ("Emissary of Light") spontaneously created a 30 Day Plan to Intend Positive Outcomes from News Headlines, starting on April 1. (April Fool's Day---hence the name!)

We are joining with Rev. Michael Beckwith and James Twyman again this year to continue this Intention, and invite you to do the same!

If you'd like to listen to the original Teleconference from March 28, 2007 with Beckwith and Twyman discussing how to use The Secret for World Peace, please go to this link: passalongwebsites.com/secretcall/beckwith It is a free recording of this event.

Rev. Michael said that he often suggests to his congregation to take a news headline that seems to be very negative on the outside, and accept it as a plea for help. Turn it into a prayer intention and see the event completing in a loving and peaceful way. He says it is only disguised in negative clothing, but truly is a plea for help.

They decided to start on April 1, April Fool's Day, and call it Be a Fool for Peace! and want to follow through for 30 days. They each are sending out emails to their own lists to gather as many people as possible. We are doing the same.

So, if we all agree to take one headline a day, for 30 days, and use it as a Prayer Request or Positive Meditation Visualization, imagine how powerful and beneficial that could be.....

I know many of you, including ourselves are wanting to do something positive towards the progress of peace. Mahatma Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world."

This is your chance to make a difference. Please join with us, spread the word, and spread peace at the same time.

"Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." ---Mother Teresa

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

MOVIE: The Proof That We Are ONE

Have you seen the trailer for THE PROOF movie yet??? Here's the concept: A book has been hidden somewhere in the US and James Twyman has to find it in one day. The person who hid the book can't tell him where it's hidden, only think about the city and actual spot.

If he finds the book, Hay House will make a $50,000 donation to charity. If he doesn't, then James must make the donation himself.

To see the trailer go to: www.JamesTywman.com and click on the link that says The Proof.

FREE GIFT: The film will be released as a free gift in April, a downloadable movie that will change the way you look at yourself and the world you live in. Best of all, you'll then have an opportunity to learn how to experience this phenomenon yourself in a special Internet course produced by Hay House.

This is the first time anything like this has ever been attempted. James wanted to present the idea and experience of Oneness in a creative way, and this is the result. Will he find the book? You'll have to watch the free movie on April 15th to find out for yourself.

Don't miss The Proof. It is absolutely amazing.

"Let there be Peace on Earth...and let it begin with me"
We all want there to be peace. But world peace will only come if we each can hold Love in our hearts. One at a time, we can change the energy on our planet. We are responsible for our Home. Each home should be a place to feel safe and secure.

A mother prepares her home through the love she has in her heart. The father of that home holds that love energy through his strength.

If the children in that home constantly create havoc and dissension, because they don't realize the love that is there, then peace does not prevail.

The best way to bring peace into our Home is to honor the Love that our Mother Earth and Father Spirit have prepared. To come into balance with that energy through the heart center, all the Children of this Home will hold Peace.

~~~~~~~~~~ Just by meditating on the following prayers and poems we can change the vibration of the world to that of love and peace.~~~~~~~~~~

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not seek
To be consoled, but to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Gayatri

You, who are the source of all Power, Whose rays illuminate the Whole World, Illuminate also my heart, So that it too can do your work.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

-----written by Max Ehrmann, c 1927

Native American Prayer for Peace

Oh Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you.
To your messengers, the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect and to be kind to each other
So that they may grow with peace of mind.
Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth.

The Great Invocation"
by Alica Bailey

From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let the light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the center, where the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the wills of men---
The purpose which the Master's know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power Restore the Plan on Earth.

The Universal Invocation

We ask our Universal Mother-Father God to be with us as we share this time together.
We invoke the Spirit of Truth to be revealed, knowing that when two or more are gathered in His Name, there He will be, also.
As we commune with that Sweet Spirit, all joy and understanding will be known, and all things hoped for will be realized through faith, the element of things unseen.
We thank the Universal God for the teachings of the Christ Consciousness, who brought us the goal of loving each other. This we ask by the power vested within ourselves. So Be It.
