On the subject of the dangers of warring to our well-being and our lives, we are all entitled to express our own opinions. But there is a fundamental truth beyond opinion, debate and interpretation: if we continue in the direction we are headed, it is most likely that we will arrive where we are headed. We will arrive at profound local, regional and global conflict.

The Declaration of Human Equality is based on the premise that to alter our current course, we need a bigger, more pressing challenge, a challenge that has a destination which unites rather than divides us. The Declaration of Human Equality is the ultimate challenge at the core of humanity, the challenge of men and women, of people being in a state of equality, empowerment, and cooperation with full access to dignity, respect and opportunity.

The Legacy XXI blog is an opportunity to share the Declaration and share what you are doing to actualize the ideals of the Declaration. Support Legacy XXI by contributing to our commitment to press forward internationally with the Declaration of Human Equality. Tell us how you are expressing support for the Declaration on a personal, community, regional, national and international level. We can change course….and it starts with me and you. What are you doing?

      This past weekend my 'subconcsious' or higher self signed me up for a workshop. Meaning...that it was announced in my presence that a certain wonderful foundation was offering three scholarships to my group and one was still available. My arm shot up involuntarily while my mind was still muttering and considering, "A workshop? Three hours on a Friday night and all day Saturday? Hmmm, don't think so.." But too late for all this deliberation. I was awarded the last remaining scholarship while I was still muttering to myself. Of course it was amazing. On radical forgiveness (www.radicalforgiveness.com). All that I had experienced before in altered states I got to know in this dimension and fully conscious: the knowlege that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. That we create it all according to what we need. And that anybody who has ever caused me grief was actually an angel, with whom I had a contract to teach me just such a lesson in order to 1) know seperation or the delusion therein; 2) Have an opportunity to heal.
      This process of radical (vs. traditional) forgiveness brought it all into remarkable awareness. What if we didn't even need to believe but we could through surrender accept that all was unfolding just as it needed to? What if we were all here to learn to reunite with the All-That-Is? And that this love could be accessed through forgiveness, not the traditional forgiveness but the radical forgiveness of acceptance and surrender? Of accepting that All-That-Is is simply all that is and we cannot necessarily understand this from our human/mind/ego perspective so we just need to love. Even that, or especially that, which we find unlovable (because this would necessarily be something we can't love in ourselves)? It was such a great group gathered. A woman from Israel partnered with a woman from Palestine who bring a group of teenage girls from both countries to establish a dialogue of love, forgiveness, and therefore redemption. More info on www.creativityinpeace.com (Somehow I also volunteered to cook for them next month. Thank G noone asked if I had ever cooked for twenty-five before!).

      So what I learned this weekend, or re-learned, that I am hoping may be germaine to this discussion is that oppositional thinking, righteous thinking, may only emphasize seperation and ongoing 'conflict'. Whom we embrace as another aspect of ourselves, we heal seperation. One of my most signficant moments prior to this weekend in the past few weeks was that as I was driving to work in a blistering heat, I saw an African-American apparently homeless man carrying all his belongings on his back. For that one crystaline moment,I didn't experience pity or compassion or empathy. I experienced that we were one and the same. I've run out of characters to tell the 'denouement'. Ah well. That was the pivotal moment.

      I really love this topic - and will do (and be) whatever I can to support your efforts. I, along with four others, am currently involved in a regular A Course in Miracles study group at which we are talking about topics like you've touched on here. I am a coach and speaker, and am working to weave some of my Course study into the talks, training, workshops and seminars I conduct and facilitate. I have discovered for myself that my personal mission is to make my own small talk bigger - and to support others in doing the same. I applaud your efforts here and I know that as we let our own light shine, as Marianne Williamson so eloquently stated, we allow others to do the same.
