I recently saw this beautiful video of an Iran that the mainstream media doesn’t portray. But of course if the people of America and the UK thought of Iran in this way, there would be more opposition to an impending attack. Instead we are presented with a bogey man image. Besides we don’t want to think about the concept that, the Iranians could be just like us! Wanting to live in peace and provide a good life for their families. It’s all in the children’s eyes. Stop this madness!!

The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.

In authoritarian societies, whether religious or political, where votes of people don’t count, where any opposition voice is silenced with bullets and imprisonment, peace cannot be permanent. Is this starting to sound familiar?

What have we become? Why have we let it get to this? People need to wake up, turn off the T.V. and start educating themselves as to what is going on around them, or one day they are going to wake up and think: “Where did my country go?”
