I will make this brief. My grandmother, Elsa, tried to bring about a day of world peace back in the 1930's when she traveled around the world - on her own dollar - to meet the nation's leaders. She also wrote a book of poetry called "Unity in the Spirit," which was never a best seller, and in fact she was self-published and I think, for the most part, gave the book away. But I honor her memory today because she made the effort to stop wars, never knowing that most countries have them as an economic necessity.

Today is the beginning of the Lothlorian Peace Festival in France and a world-wide effort to bring about a three-day moratorium on all news to give people a chance to meditate on the approach of Elenin (September 26 Elenin creates a cosmic convergence by passing between the sun and the earth.) and to focus on hope, not despair, since it is rare for news to report on anything good.

I have an idea -- why not sell the open space in newspapers, like the Emperor's New Clothes?

Tony Burroughs, a founder of the Intenders and the Vision Alignment Project, is one of many leaders of this effort to "be the change you want to see." From the information about the movement: "The critical mass number is 144,000, which concerns the energy of numerology referring to the number 9, as in 1+4+4+000 = 9 and representing completion and Divine Will. Because both the day of the global meditation on peace 9/23/2011, and the Mayan Calendar designating this period the 9th wave, the energy of 3x9s is present. In numerology tripling anything increases its energy exponentially, which is why there is a unique opportunity here."

Please join us in this effort... please.
