REVOLUTION FOR A GLOBAL PEACE

Comment on War in our times.

I want to say the truth and still serve peace. I thank the peace movements and the demonstrations all over the world. Maybe never have so many people demonstrated for peace as now (March 2003). A thanks - for this
time - also to the German federal chancellor Gerhard Schröder for his consistent "no" to this war. The demonstrations must not stop now. They can start a historic change for the whole world. The world is faced with a new decision, the current power groups have no more uniform concepts. The peace movement needs a global peace plan for a new earth.
We are witnesses to a wrong civilisation in which we, ourselves, belong.
We are experiencing a war by two barbarian cultures and governments. The barbarism of a US-American government and the barbarism of a dictatorship in Iraq are two aspects of the same devastating history, and the same continuum of violence.
The same injustices are happening here as in Afghanistan, in Israel/Palestine, in Chechnya, in the Balkans, in Latin America, in Africa, Indonesia and almost everywhere on the earth.

War is the accumulation of inner conflicts in the whole of humanity. It is not only the barbarism of an individual country or individual government. It is (in the holistic/holographic system of the world) also the barbarism of our own habits of consumption which are mainly violence based: violence against the Third World, violence against nature, against animals. It is the barbarism of slaughter houses, fur animal farms, animal laboratories. What people do to animals they will, eventually, always do to other people. It is the barbarism with which they cruelly murdered cows and sheep due to BSE or MKS, even though there existed no real medical reasons. (For a long time it has been known that the foot and mouth disease is not lethal and can be cured with medicine.). For how long do we want to retain the belief in the medical profession, the media, public authorities and politicians who cause and/or comply to such massacres? For how long do we want to stay in the barbarism of a civilisation whose profit and consumption demands the daily killing of thousands of innocent co-creatures? The new war is the logical continuation of a world-wide madness, where the daily killing of living beings can be read in restaurant menus, on the doctor’s prescription or in the stock exchange rates. … Murder is transmitted to us in a most sterile way by means of figures, tables and technology. The daily mass-murder has become an inconspicuous part of our whole life-system. Behind the “clean” medicine, the cosmetics or the stock exchange figures stands the nameless misery of the tortured creature. This torture has long since become global. The keyword for it is “globalisation”. It is the globalisation of violence. But we need the globalisation of peace. The life forces of evolution must be steered into a new direction. …

The Steering of Chi.
Ki or Chi is the name of the universal (divine) force of life in the oriental traditions. It works in all things and creates new life everywhere. The Iraq war – like all wars – is the consequence of misdirected life force. There is a form of therapy called Reiki, serving the regeneration and new direction of Chi. Nowadays, however, we do not need Reiki for individual patients. Rather today, we need Reiki for the whole of society, humanity and the whole earth. It is the Chi force that combines all things within the divine universe. It is mental/spiritual patterns that decide whether this force assumes a good or bad path. The patriarchal era of human civilisation was built in a way where this force was directed into cruel and violent directions. We need another civilisation, a new direction in the evolution, a new social vessel for the gathering and direction of this life force. The social structures in which human beings live together, their traditions, laws, economy, their political and sexual order, and their religions are a canal system for the direction of Chi. The direction in which Chi is canalised is decisive in whether there is fortune or misfortune in the earthly life. Today, we are confronted with the task of developing a new canal system, one where Chi forces lead to harmony and joy for all living beings. This is the sense of the HEALING BIOTOPES project, created by us many years ago.

It is not easy to live in a time where such wars are being led all over the world. It is difficult to bear the north-American propaganda that is not only directed against the enemy, but also against its own people to make them agreeably willing to this injustice. The former north-American president Jimmy Carter once said: “This war is a violation of all human rights.”
Further, the former north-American foreign minister Clark wrote a book concerning the last Gulf war. In it he describes what was really happening behind the public propaganda; a portrayal of a long chain of crimes. It should be an obligatory lecture for the whole of the Western world. When we acknowledge these things we must begin to think in a different way. We must all think in a different way. This is not anti-Americanism; these witnesses are high-ranking Americans. Neither is it anti-Semitism when we condemn the contemporary Israeli politics in Palestine. The Bedouins, who were driven from their settlements in Negev (Israeli desert), are also Semites. Therefore, do we want to name the Israelis as anti-Semites? It is hard to see the vocabulary with which truth is being currently suppressed.
It is also hard to see how few of our former friends and co-fighters are still willing to recognise and name the real reasons behind what is happening. They have long since established themselves, have long since found their own jargon to excuse their mental abstinence. Only a few of the comrades who went out on the streets in 1968 are, today, still willing to move their 60 year old bottoms and fight once more for a better world. Back then, they all had the holy anger against the world-wide injustice of imperialism but they had no perspective. So they returned to the system they had come from. Think, for example, about the incredible essay of Wolf Biermann in one of the last Spiegel (German political magazine) editions. A man who once sang about Che Guevara as “Jesus with a gun”, a poet and singer whom we all loved. Today, he is sympathetic to the north-Americans and calls the peace demonstrators names like “hooray-pacifists“. I don’t judge any more, I just register. Had he and his friends known a perspective he could have spared himself this last act of submission.

Humanity is a whole, a Holon, a continuum. This war is similar to the former wars in Vietnam, Latin America, Yugoslavia and Chechnya; the accumulation of a life form we are all part of. It is no longer only about the NO to this war. How many such NO’s have already been called out during the last fifty years! How strongly was Rosa Luxemburg touched, 90 years ago, by the fact of a misled humanity. When her friend asked her: “Don’t we have to leave the political party?” she replied: “Don’t we have to leave the whole of humanity?” It is about the departure from the madness of contemporary civilisation and entering a new life form on earth.

The Inner Drama.
What is happening now is also always part of ourselves. On the outside it is about oil, raw materials, territories and power. Simultaneously, what is happening today on this ugly world stage is the prolongation of inner conflicts into the outside. It is unsolved inner conflicts in the continuum of contemporary humanity that has caused these wars. It is mainly completely elementary human conflicts that, at some point in time, break out like an explosion: conflicts about love and loneliness, sexuality and religion, acceptance and judgement, hurt and revenge, unfulfilled longings for Eros, home and community. Conflicts of an inner drama appearing in one form or another in all cultures that directed themselves against life, against love, and against the truth. As long as we live in social systems that already break the positive force of life in children, we can not complain about war and terror. The cry against war must become a cry against our whole society. It must change into the non-distractible will for the establishment of a new humane world. We have the necessary knowledge for that. The signals for a humane world are being set within us, in our own souls. Love, trust, warmth and truth – what we human beings receive or not in these regards, is a more decisive principle for war, or peace in the world than anything else. Whether the healthy force of life can gather in a gentle atmosphere of trust and warmth in children’s hearts; whether lovers can meet without fear and lies, without suppression and false morals: this it what decides, world-wide, the canalisation of Chi and the destiny of the peoples.
Would Adolf Hitler have developed his satanic plans if he had not had as his father Alois, who humiliated and beat him so severely? Would Alois have beaten him so much if he could have lived in joy and love with his spouse Klara (the mother of Adolf Hitler)? Alois too, had been a child once with no meanness in his mind. Could Vladimir Putin have directed his cruel deeds against Chechnya if he had had a loving, knowing mother? Would the dictator Milosevic have committed his terror in Yugoslavia if he had not experienced his parent’s suicide as a child? Would the farmer’s son, Saddam Hussein, have assumed such a violent career if he had not grown up in such hard conditions and experienced his father’s suicide? For those who are interested in such backgrounds the books by Alice Miller are recommended. She gave a stunning presentation entitled "Adolf Hitler – About Soul Murdering in Children for the Elimination of Complete Peoples“ (in the book “Dismantling the Wall of Silence“).
We have to keep asking: Would 300,000 young soldiers, who are now ready for the war, really follow orders if they had had another perspective for their power, their courage, their longing for adventure and community? Could a military world, based on orders and obedience, exist if human beings had learnt to follow the divine stream of life in love, curiosity and trust and, thereby, find their own source? No human being who has found his/her own source obeys an abstract order to kill. No young man who has just loved a woman would arrive at the idea to torture, not even a rabbit.
The inner drama of humankind must be resolved if we are to create an earth without war. As long as there is war in love there will be no peace in the world. That applies to us in the West, as well as for the desert sons of Allah or the Jewish adherents of the Old Testament. A Religion which separates us from sensual love and the great joy between the genders will always cause war. We are now experiencing the final phase of an era where almost the whole of humanity believes to be pious and virtuous when fighting their innermost longings. At the end of this era we will recognise the real pain we have caused to ourselves and all other creatures by means of the tradition of mysterious love prohibitions. Humankind has searched for their anchor in heaven and, thereby, forgot that they could also have it here on earth. The violence and cruelty that has been performed for thousands of years against the sensual body, against the woman, against the earth and against all creatures lays like a film of fear and violence on the whole of humanity.
The current war is as small an “accident” as was the German fascism of 60 years ago. It is systematically caused by those societal forces that profit from the destruction of life and love. The current wars are the same on the collective level as what is termed murder on the individual level. No law books help here, otherwise the sentence that George Bush gave five years ago as the Governor of Texas against the young Gary Graham (a black man) would be given to himself today: the death sentence. (The difference is: according to witness statements Gary Graham was, with all probability, innocent.) However, the world does not need death sentences, it needs a new orientation for its creative energies. Jesus was a revolutionary for peace. He said: “Do not judge and thy shall not be judged.“ It is a hard principle to stick to. All the same we want to keep to it.
They calculated that in the last Iraq war about 3,000 civilians were killed. In the current war the figures are being estimated at approx. 500,000 civilians. Civilians: that is children, young people, women and men, who are having a difficult life already and who need nothing so urgently as silence, peace and home.
What is being planned and carried out here is also a reminder of Vietnam. It is real apocalypse for all involved. “Apocalypse Now” – was already the title of a movie about the Vietnam war where someone had the courage to show closely what had really happened there. If we could bring what is happening in reality on the current war stage closer with a zoom we would witness pure hell. There would be no border for our vision but absolute horror. Few tears can be cried any more for this; it has been cried empty. When we see what human beings do to each other we know that something fundamentally went wrong on the earth.

The Repression
The established society has become used to anaesthesia by means of consumption, media and false prophets. When I say that the massacre in many countries is initiated or supported by the Western power groups, banks, militaries, lodges and secret services, a wave of indignation hits me. When I say that large terrorist attacks nowadays were, to a large extent, not planned by terrorists but by the background men of Western governments, militaries and secret services they almost scream out loud with indignation, before they acknowledge facts, information and the sources. (In February 2003 we sent out information regarding the contexts and sources into our network whereupon the protest calmed down. I ask for this to be acknowledged). When I say that some north-American and Israeli groups have long since been planning to drive the Palestinians out or imprison them into reservations like once with the American Indians, they deny me any intellectual honesty. Now that the whole world is watching Iraq, do we still see what the Israeli military is currently doing in the Gaza strip? The general suppression or ignorance is still working, similar to the times of the German National Socialism when our parents were told about the concentration camps. They did not want to know and, therefore, instantly spoke about “hostile propaganda“. But it was true! Then, the truth was as hard to bear as today, the truth behind the term “globalisation“. Therefore, one does not choose the truth, but the silence of so-called normality. They either do not want, or cannot, acknowledge how many people are being enslaved, tortured and killed every day in the name of this normality. The number of those who step out of this kind of collaboration increases every day, because they carry a new picture of peace and humanity inside themselves. Did we ever think about what we would be if we had come to this world as Palestinians, as Hindus, as American Indians?
When one says the truth and, at the same time, wants to serve peace, one is in a difficult situation for the truth creates deep, mysteriously deep agitation. No spiritual silence exercises as recommended by the esoteric consultants of our times help. Hans de Boer, theologian, author and one of our last time witnesses was himself tortured. One of his last books was entitled “Blessed Agitation”. We now need a new form of energy for those who want to help and co-operate. Today, we need a different anchor of power and belief. It is no longer only about quiet candle vigils and prayers, it is about a new way of acting and living. For the many who have gone to the streets now it is about a new basic decision for their whole life. Peace is not wishful thinking, peace is the revolution of life on our planet, including our own life. The landmarks are ready for this revolution, we are no longer ignorant. I therefore wrote the book the “Heilige** Matrix” (The Sacred Matrix – soon in English). We can adopt this path if we decide to do so. It contains the construction plan of a new life on earth without falling back into the old dogmas.

No False Religion Please!
The Earth is sacred. Life is sacred. The Chi forces are divine forces. They serve the healing and the hallowed. Indian Chiefs like Sun Bear or Dhyani Ywahoo described what is meant by that. Also Jesus, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela or Jacques Lusseyran (the French Resistance Fighter) acted in this sense. But the big religions of the male epoch destroyed the holy through dogma and abuse of power. They moved the sacred into the afterlife and turned away from the offers of happiness here on this sensual earth. Religions were linked with the madness of a permanent repression of life. The people who could not find redemption on the earth were supposed to find it in heaven in the afterlife. Mechthild von Magdeburg, Heloise and Abälard, Maria Stuart and all these great personalities of the European Middle Ages testify to a world without solution for the loving, also sexually loving, human being. (I don’t want to speak about the horrible time of the crusades and inquisition here.) Today, millions of misguided love couples suffer from the heritage of a misguided epoch. The art of the last centuries lives from the misfortune of unfulfilled love. Goethes “Leiden des jungen Werther” (The Suffering of Young Werther) that enchanted young Napoleon so much, is as much an example of this as the dramatic testimonies of Kierkegaard, Ibsen or Dostoevsky. Painters like Van Gogh, Gauguin or Paula Modersohn-Becker mostly died from their unfulfilled longings. The misfortune of humankind has almost become an obligatory celebration in novels, theatre plays of our times and newspapers articles. Adam Kadmon, the original image of the human being, has gone the wrong way, our spiritual conditioning creates feelings of guilt instead of release. Only very few succeeded in attaining a higher connection. The entire notion of religion, culture and society was wrong, it served the repression of the most elementary joys from the earthly paradise.
We need a new possibility to unite our sensual and divine forces. We need a human and divine force that can also be effective when human hearts are hurt and locked up. Otherwise, the murdering will continue endlessly. In this world we need a universal power that protects all those who innocently become victims of the massacre. Innocence does exist. To die in such a war is not the fair consequence of bad karma (sins from a former life). An esoteric, or religion, that claim such a statement are really “Opium for the People“, as Karl Marx said. Stop a false spirituality that wants to see a positive meaning, even in the most horrible things that happen! People who are killed as cruelly as is happening everywhere nowadays cannot develop a positive karma. Nobody can. Lets stop the false religious consolations, or references to the unexplainable decision of an unexplainable God. They prevented us, for too long, from really becoming human beings who take the steering wheel of life into our own hands. When my own child is in a burning house I don’t need religious consolation, I run into the house to save my child. In such moments I don’t say: “Not my, but Your will shall happen.” In such moments only our own decision remains. When God makes himself felt here in our deepest core, when new forces flow to us in these situations, then there could be reasons for a new religious alliance. Life and religion will no longer be two different things.

We need a new concept for life on earth and the living together with all creatures. We need a new insight into the co-work, the effectiveness of the earthly and the cosmic world. We need a new notion about the structure of human communities and societies: We need GENESIS II, the second Creation, this time without war. We need a life in love where the first kiss of the two lovers has an eternal effect and can never more be betrayed. We need the anchor and tranquillity to understand the secret of love in a way that we can develop our joyful organs. “In the end all learning serves to learn love.“, says Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. This is no longer the subject of a private relationship, it is the subject of an entire culture. Why should these powerful advances human beings make in technology not also be possible among human beings?
God is the very embodiment of the universal intelligence. An intelligence that had the ability to create galaxies and could also be friendly enough to make a good life possible on earth. I pray to God and the Goddess, Eloah! The question is directed to all of us as truly as we have the divine within us. Eliminate the massacre also there, where human beings are still blind. Strengthen the spirit that opens their, and our, eyes and stop leading them through a senseless and cruel destiny so that they themselves become senseless and cruel. Billions of people went through this destiny. It was a wrong direction in the evolution of humankind and human society. It was also a wrong call for government over nature. Please correct the plan before, once again, thousands of children will be crushed under the ruins of demolished houses or burnt alive in the flaming inferno of the battle field.

We, the ones who are standing behind these words, can no longer remain spectators in a Disneyland where the war is presented as a computer game. We can no longer turn our heads away from what is really happening on the side of the victims. We have friends in Palestine and in Israel. Others have friends in Iraq or in the US army. The children, the friends and loved ones who are dying there now could be our own. The cruelty of a dictatorship regime (Saddam Hussein) can not end through means of the cruel killing of humans and animals in a war, it would only be continued with different means. We experience this truth now in Afghanistan and Chechnya. What is currently happening there is so terrible that the media no longer report it. Everybody is looking to Baghdad at the moment. But what is happening in Grozny, the former capital of Chechnya? This war is everywhere as long as the social (economic, political, human, mental) structures cause it to exist.

Stop this whole madness! There is an alternative. Another life is possible, individually and globally. There is another Creation plan for all of us. For many years we have been working on this new perspective in our project of the Healing Biotopes. We have the power, the intelligence and the possibility to retrieve new reality fields from the hologram of the world. It is not only “me”, there is also a divine voice within me and in all of us calling this way. We all play our originator role in the world of the networked intelligence, we can all change the evolution. We definitely need another inner point, another centre of our intelligence and our commitment. We need a new Creation – in heaven and on earth. Transformation! This is also the transformation of religion. We are living in an apocalyptic time in order to finally wake up and correct Creation. The last three thousand years of human history on earth were too evil. Chi, the great FORCE of the universe that flows through our meridians needs a fundamentally new orientation, a new channel system, a new flowing movement towards the outside. In the same way they invented the new canal water systems in the metropolis of antiquity, nowadays we need new canal systems for the streams of cosmic life energy. On the earth – amidst us.

Lets come together anew, in view of these things. We feel the pain of the world. But do we also see the completely different possibility of life, its promise of happiness, its genius plan of harmony. Still the warming sun shines upon our earth. Still flowers blossom, birds sing, still loving people hug each other. Have we perceived with which unconditional friendship the animals and all creatures of nature approach us when we, ourselves, approach them in a friendly way? It is the law of resonance that brings beings together in the great “Sacred Matrix” of life.
We unite in the power of insight and in solidaric courage for truth. Where truth becomes possible again, trust arises; where trust arises, love emerges. From the eccumenicity of the new spirits emerges the plan of the new earth for which the doors are open now. We connect in the power of the absolute NO against all war, any war. We connect to an absolute NO to all cruelties to living beings. An absolute NO to the armament industry and weapon trade. An absolute NO to secret police and torture. A NO to the exploitation of the “Third World”. A NO to the cruel circumcisions in Africa, performed six thousand times each day. A No to the animal trade, fur factories and slaughter houses. A NO to animal testing and (as far as already possible) a No to all products that have been produced by means of violence against humans or animals. NO to a society that uses and honours such methods. An absolute NO to the hypocrocy with which one shows indignation about the lack of sexual morals while at the same time preparing the killing of entire peoples or accepting it as a consequence.
We unite against any form of concealment and ‘playing it down’. We leave a reality in which millions of people do what a few order. We say good bye to the trends of a society that hasn’t known what it was doing for a long time. We say good bye to the idols of a culture that attempted to hide its cruelties with the shine of their limousines or the perfect smile of pretty commercial faces. We say good bye to all lies and distractions of this time. We are here to build a new life form.
The more we understand, the more we approach a point Omega located beyond hatred. The absolute NO lies beyond hatred or revenge. Those who have found this NO possess a new power. It is not an emotion, it is not a belief statement, nor a philosophical or religious position. Rather, it is elementary in an existential and ethical sense. We say NO because any other statement would be the same as self-denial. We say NO because we want to become truthful again in our own friendships and love relationships. At the same time we connect with an equally powerful YES to life, YES to love, YES to all creatures, YES for the joyous co-existence and co-operation of all beings - toward the One!

Peace must be learnt, like war. Simple wishing does not help anyone. We now need concrete life models where we can develop and try out the possibility of a real peace and living together with all creatures. These models need financing in a way where we don’t have to move at a stone age level. We need new technologies, new housing systems, new information circles, new networks for the realisation of violent-free life models. We ask all those who have money: invest it in the building up of a global peace force. Contribute to the redistribution of financial means in a way that a future worth living can also be economically secured. I quote Pia Gyger and Father Brantschen from the Lassalle-House Switzerland:

“Peace must be learnt and exercised by humanity with the same commitment as war. Let us be honest to ourselves. Unless we give the same amount of financial means into peace research and peace education, peace remains an illusion. As soon as we invest our psychic-mental and material forces into the learning of peace the “wheel of the history of war” starts moving in the opposite direction.”
This is the basic insight that leads us into the future: We are part of the whole. The turbulence in the world is inside ourselves. To heal the world, we must heal ourselves. What the earth needs is what we need:

This is why, for some years, we have been building up the Peace School Mirja in Tamera/Portugal; this is why we have been working for decades on the building up of communities. In this way the Healing Biotopes project and the concept of “Genesis 2“ came up: Construction plans for another civilisation on earth. We are co-operating with peace workers in Israel and Palestine; India and Colombia and other groups who are on a similar path. We wish for co-operation with many thousands of people all over the world. I thank all those who helped us during the difficult times of the last years. We feel that in all continents a world-wide field for a new evolution is emerging, even though the involved ones still do not know much about each other. Lets create a media that serves this connection. If all those who demonstrate against war today can see a positive perspective, the fight is won. An appeal to all peace workers: Do not let yourselves burn out by war. Contribute to the foundation of a new life on earth.

In the name of all creatures.
