Anata - too long the world has been asleep
From the book "GRACE - Pilgrimage for a Future without War" by Sabine Lichtenfels
Those who start to see will also understand the deeper meaning of global peace villages. To change from a system of violence to a system of peace we at first have to recognize and to develop. It makes no sense to wait for governments to act. Dauntless we can seize our possible freedom. With microscopic precision the first course settings need to be executed, which will then have an effect on the whole. The system which makes the machine perform differently still needs to be invented. If the prototypes function then it will work worldwide. I keep seeing pictures which are almost romantic and at the same time militant.
Let us put away our passports which tie us to a false nationality, to a false collective dehumanisation? Do we want to end up as soulless machines drowning in a system of consumerism? Let us start from scratch. Neti neti, this is not who we are! This is not the human being! This is a worldwide and insane aberration which can but lead us jointly to our own destruction. Nobody will survive this system without losing his heart.
Like lemmings we rush towards the same fate. We still take refuge in believing that misery is something that only concerns other people and we still like to believe that all is clean in front of our own main doors. Still many of us console ourselves by believing that bad karma is the reason today for people living such a destitute and painful life. However, it concerns us all. This avalanche of violence cannot be stopped if we do not rethink decisively.

Meditation by Sabine Lichtenfels
Where there was pain, let healing awaken.
Where there was anger, let the power for change emerge.
Where there was fear, let safety and trust grow.
Where there were enemies, let the awakening of mutual compassion begin.
Where there was oppression, let freedom reign.
Where nations were divided, let sympathy for planet earth lead to shared responsibility.
We have come as a reminder:
If we want planet earth to survive, then all the walls of separation must fall, the walls between peoples, between Israel and Palestine, between Europe and Africa, between the so-called first and third world. And likewise with the walls that we have erected in our own psyches, the walls between the genders, and the walls between humans and all creatures.
May all displaced people find a home. May the pure indigenous wisdom and source gain recognition and respect.
May the people who are willing to risk their lives for truth and justice receive the protection they need.
May the voice of justice and truth and compassion and solidarity with all beings be heard all over the world, and may it spread and become a powerful movement that stands for the protection for life and planet Earth.
May the seed of peace communities blossom and may the first self-sufficient communities be a sign and show that it is possible to develop societal systems which resonate with the universal laws of love and compassion, and of truth and abundance of life. May we become carriers of hope for all who come after us.
May we set visible signs which show that the eternal life will win over all systems of wrong power, of destruction and exploitation.
We have come as a reminder of the original beauty and truth of life:
Every living being has a right to be free and to unfold, a right to love, and a right to genuine truth and trust. Let us set examples for overcoming violence wherever we are. Let us stand up for life and for love so that fear can vanish on earth. Let us form a worldwide circle of power to safeguard all creation.
In the name of all those who had to give their lives, in the name of justice and truth, in the name of all that has skin and fur. In the name of all creatures, and in the name of GRACE and the movement for a free earth.
May this prayer or something better come to be.
Thank you and Amen.
Sentence of Empowerment:
Where there was anger, let the power for change emerge.
