The Ring of Power

A global spiritual and political network of peace

weekly sendout

In any particular moment, the sun rises somewhere in the world. At many places and in many cultures there are people who greet her in their special way. Some of them are peace workers in the ‘Ring of Power’, a spiritual-political meditation network, created by Sabine Lichtenfels in spring 2002. Since then she has sent a power text via e-mail to hundreds of recipients every Monday. They come either from inspirations which she receives during her own meditations, or from other committed contemporary or historical characters.

"The violence is closing in, the global ring of violence becomes tighter and tighter. It seems to consume the last oases of hope. Inspite of this insanity, more and more people decide to commit themselves to peace and a meaningful life on earth. In this context it becomes increasingly clear to me how closely spiritual research and political action belong together.

After being asked repeatedly, I decided to begin an experiment. I called it the "Ring of Power". The Ring of Power addresses all those peace workers who know that spiritual research and political action belong together. You will only be able to realise as much peace in the outside world as you have realised within. In this time of the globalisation of violence, everybody who is active in peace work needs an active training. A training that provides the personal strength and knowledge to walk the path of trust and fearlessness. Close cooperation with all powers of peace is the connecting thought of the Ring of Power. We are drawn towards those spiritual sources that feed our capacity for free and loving action in this world. I, myself, do a morning attunement at sun rise to connect myself to the power of universal love and all cosmic peace powers. Everyday at sun rise I go to a special place for this peace meditation. I wish that a spiritual-political meditation ring around the globe begins, holding the Ring of Power. Thoughts create reality – may we strengthen the peace bringing powers through our meditation.

There were many committed peace bringers. Courageous people, who connected prayer and political action, leaving behind a precious knowledge. We can apply this knowledge everyday in our concrete peace work. I will gather quotes and excerpts and, from time to time, also portray a person from whom we can learn a lot.

You will find sentences of strength for the week, insights from my meditations and occasionally statements concerning the concrete political situation. Apart from your decision whether to participate in the sun rise meditations, you can participate in the Ring of Power. It is intended as an inspiration for all who seek new courage and thoughts for their peace work. I have been sending my thoughts into the Ring of Power every Monday for more than seven years now. You can add a personal peace prayer and distribute it to your network. Thus the Ring of Power slowly but surely grows and creates a network of the heart.

A warm welcome to the Ring of Power - a network for peace workers."

Yours Sabine Lichtenfels
