Oh Ahmad
There is nothing I can do or say
to prevent your intentionto blow yourself up with those you hate. But I would like you to know anyway that at the end of your last prayer when you turn your head to the right and say asalâmu ‘alâykum wa râhmat u-llah wa-barakâtuhu you have greeted me too as I am there, right beside you with the whole of Mankind because your Lord is my breath Then, when you turn your head to the left and repeat for the last time asalâmu ‘alâykum wa râhmat u-llah wa-barakâtuhu I am there too, with the whole universe because everywhere you turn there is His face and your Lord is my breath Even when your hands and forehead touch the ground and you say to your Lord with a deep sense of fulfilment Hu we are all there right beneath you with our foreheads and hands and knees and toes touching yours from the ground. So, just before you press the button with your call Akbar know that we are always between you and your Lord because He is our breath
Narda Azaria Dalgleish - 2002 and 17 October 2004
I live in this old mill Town called Hawick, pronounced Hoik, the largest in the Scottish Borders. |
A Letter to the United Nations October 26th 2006 "…the earth, globally, is one language with a few words." "…there is but one nation and one language to all." Gen.11; 1,6 In the name of Love - the highest collective factor - greetings to the ambassadors of the United Nations and the people as yet unrepresented A year or so after 9/11, when the world was still stirred, looking to understand the causes and express its diverse response, it was a surprise to find that I was afraid. Apprehensive even about disclosing my nationality to people, as for a while Israel was held directly responsible. I never took part in a public protest or a rally. I wondered what might it be like to find a response which is not caused by fear or a partial standpoint for or against something… Were I to sit face to face with one of the suicide bombers, what would I see? What shall I say to him? The poem 'Oh Ahmad' was conceived then, and because it was addressed to his essential being, the name 'Ahmad' was chosen for its reference to the Divine Name, the most Superlatively Praised. In early October 2004, exactly 17 years after I came to the United Kingdom to study and contemplate the Unity of Mankind, ( The Beshara School ) my son, Rotem Moria, was blown-up by Al-Qaeda in Sinai… By a supernatural act of grace at the moment of hearing the news, aside from the shock and pain of grief, I was spared of any reaction of hate, anger, vengeance or blame… I was engulfed at once by a presence of Love holding me in a formidable state of affirmation that it, alone, is Real; that it, alone, is the cause and aim of all faith, devotion, hope and belief misguided though they may be. In the midst of terror, in stark contrast to the situation, this oneness of Love stripped away the illusion of the polarity of all contraries and united them in the vision that it, itself, is the single indivisible Identity of all things and all people, including that of a son, his murderer and their mothers. I began writing overnight… It seemed there is nothing the human heart could love more than to be held in the 'eye' of Love... and far better, if it could be to Love like a finger is to the hand; moving in concert by its movement… Likewise, it seemed that there is nothing that Love itself loves more than to magnify a heart beyond its limited self-determination, and bring it ever closer into its - Love's - own infinitely expanding dimension. And so it should be… where, other than the human heart, could Love, the Real, be witnessed and testified? Why should I be sending this letter to you? I don't know… I am not on a mission to change the world, and even if I were, I'd be the least qualified. I talk to people about Love... that I'm moved to make myself available for something without knowing what it might be. Recently, a few people involved with the work of the UN came, one of whom suggested this letter. So here, in the spirit of J.F. Kennedy's proposition, may I ask the people of the United Nations 'united for a better world', 'is there anything I can do for you' in service of the vision which promotes our unity?

Hi - was there a reason for the friend requests, or just a random connection? We seem to be focused on very different things.
Peace. |

Dear Surenra
Thank you for your kind note and wonderful e-card.
I agree with you that thinking is not always the same as realizing 'being-in-the-world... yet for those whose intention and conscious efforts are directed to realizing the unity of their being in-the-world, from the perspective of unity itself, pure positive thought is of the greatest essential joys - an experience none other than the realization you speak of... and a direct enactment of positive change.
I think this is a great subject for a discussion on WEversity... perhaps you could post it as a new topic?
Yours
Narda

Thank you Eugen
I have just been on the most wonderful 3 day Symposia, the first of its kind for the School. It strike me how even spirituality is demanding a continuous enlargement of our understanding of what it means to be a human being today.
There are some new pictures on this link - do have a look. Can I See Myself and the World as One Self
Can you come and do the next 6 months course? It begins on 1st October...
I'd be utterly delighted to meet you.
Love to you
Narda

Dear Stephen
Your belief seems rare, I would love to hear what vision substantiates it... :)
Thank you

Thanks for inviting me. It took a while for me to get back because wiserearth invites were being shunted into my spam files. However I too believe that peace in the middle east is possible, even if unlikely... It will take commitment and the willingness to forgive and grow. Stephen

My dear Daniel
You are a treasure. So glad to have seen the links. You know you could create a page for the Art of Living here, documenting your work. I'd be very interested to see when finished... I shan't forget you...
Love,
Narda |

I saw you were very interested in Isael/Palestinian page. You might be interested in the work my non-profit Art of Living is doing in Sderot. It's small maybe, but beautiful.

Thank you, Mark,
Wael and I became friends a few months ago and are conducting right now, a lively conversation on WEversity under the provocative topic I don't believe in Palestine I don't believe in Isreal nor Germany ...
I most certainly want to hear about your idea. The immediate thought which comes to mind with plant used as a building material for this region, is that the climate is too hot for it to be effective, at least as a long term solution... I personally don't have a recollection of a single wood house there, but things may have changed... Having said that, any house will be better than none.
I am looking forwards

Congratulations on the work you are doing!
Through a forum I met a person who would probably like very much to be in communication with you and your contacts in Palestine and Israel. His name is Wael, and in case the software deletes emails, his email address starts with GlobalPalestine, and follows the at sign with googlemail.com (I don't know if gmail works or not).
I came up with an idea for using non-tree plant materials for structural elements of buildings, to rebuild the areas that were bombed out, without outside support. I sent it to him, and it may be something positive to work on with him. Let me know if you have any questions!
Regards,
Mark

something bigger than that and they would love to be part of

network the becoming resilient communities in one organic
economic body, where we share appropriate technology, know-how in
developing green products and services we want and we need freely
without being slaves to the traditional market obligations.
I think we can use economy, healing economy,
as vehicle for it. Like the lungs providing body life with Oxygen,
economy can be the mechanism for sharing resources efficiently and
building collective intelligence. And instead of destructive economy
for human and earth, we can develop a model for cooperative green
collective healing one and getting it to be part of the global market
showing the masses global alternatives.
Such an organic economic body has its own ecology in terms of
functions and processes. Its own logistics veins and exchange code. Any known sweet spots for these thoughts? Any initiatives do exists? Beside mine for Global Palestine I know http://fairwork.mixxt.org/ mentioned by Franz on other thread.
http://sekem.com/ is doing good work but depending on local resources and capital as part of the traditional market.
thanks
