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?

have a look, c, if you haven't yet! Last I heard, after years of toing and froing is that its been canceled. not because of the scientist or the environmentalists who wanted to ensure that the pipes will be absolutely safe from, god forbid, sipping contaminated water into the aquifer, or a development in a grand scale such as this won't be environmentally sound, or that the purification of the 'red' sea will have to take place further south before it reaches the Arava... and so on and so forth, but because king Abdullah is angry with president peres for claiming it is his idea and initiative... but these are just unchecked rumors i heard... whatever it is, they will have to find a solution for both water and for living together like all the single drops of water do. |

I hear you, Ayo, I hear you...
I agree with you that people can change... I like your standing up image.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of people here who share your passion and vision... Perhaps even people from Nigeria. You could type in an area of focus and you could spend up days upon days looking at the most amazing people and NGO's... this - wiserearth - was said to be the global mirror upon which humanity can see its response...

Hi Narda,
There comes a time when you asked yourself “what is my purpose in life and how do I accomplish this” There is inner mind that speaks and convince us that there is need to involve bringing the much needed change in our community, nation and the world. When there are positive changes in humans, the global communities would live in peace. We can not change the world but we can change humans. Man has changed the global community through research and technology and it has affected us globally, the climate has changed dramatically, global warming has affected agriculture, rainfall, sustainable development is at the bottom and ecosystems. Science and Technology has reduced population through war, selling weapons. As an individual, what can you do to change environmental injustice? There are toxic wastes released into the atmosphere in developing counties from factories built by wealthy industrialized nations and the communities pay for it with their heath while the industrialized nations reap the profits. Narda, you share the same mindset and ideology with me. When we stand up people will stand up with us but when we sit, there is no action. We can do it by standing up.

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
