Preventing War is 60 Times
Cheaper than Fighting It

Research has indicated that investing early to prevent conflicts from escalating into violent crises is, on average, 60 times more cost effective than intervening after violence erupts. Still, the world spends just $1 on conflict prevention for every $1,885 it spends on military budgets. Here in the U.S., less than 2% of income tax goes to civilian foreign affairs agencies; meanwhile, 39% goes to the military. And though taxpayers provide almost $1 billion per year for military academies, they pay only about $40 million for the United States Institute of Peace—the only U.S. agency dedicated to conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

"You are the masterpiece of your own life;
you are the Michelangelo of your experience.
The David that you are sculpting is you.
And you do it with your thoughts." Dr. Joe Vitale  Actually we become all these things through the details of daily work and action. We are all filled with wonder and potential, we just need to believe and then act with love not fear on this personal abundance and miraculous creations will be ours to share.

"Something new is happening now. Today we celebrated Martin Luther King Day. It’s debatable when it started. Some would say it started with Thoreau in 19^th Century Massachusetts when he wrote the Essay on the Duty of Civil Disobedience. Others will say Mahatma Gandhi and the nonviolent campaign to free India in the first half of the 20^th Century. Others will say December 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus. I say it started on Calvary two thousand years ago, and I know Martin King would say that too. But it takes time for something really new to be recognized for what it is. It’s been two thousand years, but with God a thousand years is as one day. So we, our church, are only two days old" Part of a sermon by Tom Cornell who marched with King in Selma.  What is truly new is a movement from a culture of war to a culture of PEACE.  This will not be easy especially at this time in human history when the forces for evolution will be coming against the forces of revolution.  "May Peace Prevail Upon The Earth."

"Injustice any where is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  So how do people earn a living wage? Through education & self education, government intervention, corporate social responsibility or a higher spiritual awareness of our "Oneness"?  Possibly all  4?

Yes we can all enjoy this warmer then usual March like weather in January unless you are into skiing or other seasonal sports or own and run a winter resort.  This weather change is not natural and has been moving toward us the past decade or two. It does not look too well for those who don't believe in climate change and global warming. Time is not on our side if we don't come together with an action plan soon. Why is the United Sates against making some adjustments and signing the Kyoto agreement? Could it be we are bowing to international corporate interests? We could be drowning in more then just red ink in the decade ahead.

GOOD LISTENER

True, sincere listening is a profoundly healing act.   Stories are formed in the act of being told:  there is no story without a listener. Listening is the antidote to rage, violence, debasement, humiliation, injustice and despair which is why friends and community groups are important. What do you think about these 6 points for listening? Six points to being a good listener: 1. Create silence inside. 2. Try to stay silent whether for 5 minutes or an hr. 3. Stay engaged with a question or hum of sympathy. 4. Focus on what the person is saying. 5. Don’t judge. 6. Take care of yourself if things get to heavy or difficult to understand.
