THE PEACE VILLAGE PROJECT

Basic Thoughts
The Peace village project resulted from many years of research work by a group of German peace workers. The central underlying thought is: If we manage to develop a violent free existence in some places on earth, according to the laws of the morpho-genetic field building theory a global healing field might be created, which may in turn lead to the establishment of more similar centers.
Violent free existence goes from the fact that all beings living at the very location – humans, animals, plants - participate in the concept. The cooperation of all living beings creates the possibility for their original unity and belonging together to become effective again. This way, a healing process for all involved beings starts. This is why we also talk about a “healing biotope”. True peace will only be possible if we create true structures of compassion and cooperation with all beings in nature, for we all are connected in the big network called life.
Peace as it is understood within this project can be defined as follows:

1. Peace is the re-integration of the human and social life into the holy order of life and creation.
2. Peace is cooperation among all beings in nature.
3. Peace is a continual inner purification process in order to free oneself from fear and hatred.
4. Peace is the pleasure of the living together in community with all living co-beings.
Peace is therefore not a little correction to the existing society but a totally new existence of the human being on the earth.

Reconciliation
In the global space of our planet fundamental disruptions exist, causing innumerable victims among humans and animals, every day We are living in an apocalyptical age. Destruction takes place in the human and in the ecological sector. It cannot be stopped by conventional means. It is not merely a crisis within a specific form of religion, nation or government, but a crisis of the whole human civilization. It seems as if humanity lost its anchor.
Peace villages are places where the structures of destruction are overcome and structures of healing are created. Places of reconciliation between human and human, between man and woman, human and animal, human and nature and human and creation. Reconciliation and re-connection of the human being with its home-planet earth. The structures of social living together must agree with the higher orders of life and creation themselves, then human living can recover its anchor.

We cannot keep up prejudice and isolation which have been separating us from the other living beings on our planet. We all form part of a vast “family of life” and we will not recover peace until we will have learnt to live up to this.
The day will come when we will realize, under tears, what we have been doing to the ones which we considered enemies. The day will come when we will realize, under tears, what we have been doing to all the animals. And the day will come when the two halfs of humanity – men and women – will realize what they have been doing to each other. Reconciliation is therefore the central motive of the peace villages. We need places on earth where wounds can heal.

The Planetary Confession of Faith
In the old humanity (Megalith Age) earth was surrounded by a network of holy centers. Their purpose was to connect the earthly world with the cosmic or spiritual world (the world of God) and to spread the holy forces on earth.
In the coming humanity earth might again by surrounded by such a network of planetary centers, which we call “peace villages” or “healing biotopes”. They would also serve the purpose to connect the earthly world with the cosmic or spiritual world and to spread healing energy over the earth. When we create nowadays the first peace villages in this sense we hope, to be able to encourage to an upcoming era free of violence and fear

The creation of peace villages is not bound to a certain religion or church but to the sanctity of life itself. We believe in the unity of life on earth and in a common evolution of all living beings. We believe in the possibility of peace among all beings. We leave the fight behind which has been fought against each other by different peoples, nations, religions and forms of life. We also leave the fight behind which has been fought by humans against nature. We all from part of the one and same humanity. The multiplicity of living beings, their varying forms, kinds, or races are all aspects of the one living body, organs of the same organism. They each have their specific functions and tasks within creation. They are not here to fight each other but to complete each other. Humans and nature are confederate partners on the great living gaia-earth. The organism of live is kept up by the peaceful co-existence and co-operation of all organs as is the organism of our body, and in all organs the same matrix of life is effective. We are all connected to the One Being and the One Consciousness, which lives inside every living being and connects them in one common evolution. We as human beings want to come together in a new consciousness, for we are the gardeners of the planet earth.

Autarky
A peace village is a fairly self-contained center. We must leave the existing systems of production and consumption behind. We can no longer talk about peace while we keep living a life which requires the sacrifice of millions of other living beings every day. We cannot keep talking about peace and watch people, animals and landscapes being victimized without doing anything. We need a new model for economy and consumption, which reconnects us to the resources and to the cycles of nature and earth. This is not a backslide into an agricultural idyll but a rise to an all-including culture which agrees with the statutes of life.

Change of paradigm
In the peace village human beings choose a new direction for their evolution and a fundamental change of paradigm in their existence: it is no longer government of nature but cooperation with nature, no longer the power of destruction but the power of healing, no longer the suppression of other forces but their integration, no more punishing of the guilty but the elimination of the causes of the wrong, no longer a morality that derives from suppression but a new ethic that derives from empathy and compassion and from the transformation of our own dark sides. We can only cause as much peace in the outside world as we carry inside us. The new direction includes also the relationships between the genders, no more dominance and submission, but partnership, no more suppression and discrimination of sexual powers but their liberation and humanization, no more hiding and mistrust within love relationships but truth. Because there is no peace on earth as long as there is war in love.

Personal Transformation
For a peace village to be able to work or function its founders and members must enter a human evolutionary process, during which they change and purify themselves. The members must decide to solve conflicts no longer by the old matrix of violence or government. Old ego-structures must be replaced by structures of empathy and mutual support. The way of living of the members is no longer oriented by personal interests but by the integration into a universal order of life. The members will learn to open themselves to the universal forces of light and to connect their lifes more and more to the holy matrix. By taking a decision in favor of living a connected life they will attract the forces and the knowledge which they need to create an efficient place of light on earth . Couldn’t a new civilization derive from the network of light of such centers?
For the necessary personal transformation of the members we have mental, artistic, and therapeutic means at our hands, which have proven to be useful. The strongest transformation in a human being takes place when a person has the chance to learn to let go of his or her masks and camouflages and foe images within an environment of trust in a human community . We have experienced how thoughts of fear or hatred are transformed to thoughts of empathy as soon as mistrust is overcome. In this sense may the peace villages become mighty greenhouses of trust.

Morpho Genetic Field Building
A peace village develops new social, the ecological and technological concepts of living. If this is to result in a useful whole it needs a minimum number of members working together. Their number is probably around one hundred. When a peace village achieves a uniform functionality and passes a critical limit this automatically creates an effect reaching far beyond the borders of the village: the field building effect in the sense of the morpho-genetic field building theory. The very piece of information enters the information body of the earth (noospehere) and can thus be retrieved from anywhere. Thereby the relation of the powers of destruction and the powers of live is changed. The existence of the new piece of information increases the probability that the powers of life manifest themselves also elsewhere on the planet. In this sense the creation of peace villages is not only of local interest but it is connected with a healing process which will have an effect all over the earth.

Peace villages could be mainly installed in the critical areas of the world, for example in Palestine. This would generate healing powers which would make reconciliation easier and open up new conflict solving possibilities. This is following the results of the chaos researches which state that a relatively small change to one parameter of an existing system can be sufficient to change the whole system. Small centers may have large peace powers, if they are in resonance with the powers of creation. There is no doubt that this way we may be able to effect a turn into the direction of global peace, if enough people are willing to support the project of peace villages and to give up a part of their personal wealth.
Globalization of violence can only be overcome by a new way of living in the sense of a new human civilization.

In the name of the warmth for all creatures.
