I felt like sharing something which really rings true to me and inspires me...
Extract of Conversation With God - The New Revelations by Neale Donald Walsch:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Publish the 5 steps to Peace in the Newspaper, something like this:
AS WE SEEK TO CREATE HARMONY IN OUR WORLD, WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY PUBLICLY COMMIT TO TAKING THE 5 STEPS TO PEACE:
1) We acknowledge that certain old beliefs about Life and about God are no longer working.
2) We acknowledge that there is something we do not understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which could change everything.
3) We are willing for new understandings of God and Life to now be brought forth, understandings that could produce a new way of life on this planet.
4) We are willing to explore and examine these new understandings, and, if they align with our inner truth and knowing, to enlarge our belief system to include them.
5) We are willing to live our lives as a demonstration of our beliefs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, for some "new revelations" inspired from the same book:
These words I leave with you, these gifts I give to you. They can change your world forever:
1) God has never stopped communicating directly with human beings. God has been communicating with and through human beings from the beginning of time. God does so today.
2) Every human being is as special as every other human being who has ever lived, lives now, or ever will live. You are all messengers. Every one of you. You are carrying a message to life about life everyday. Every hour. Every moment.
3) No path to God is more direct than any other path. No religion is the "one true religion", no people are "the chosen people", and no prophet is the "greatest prophet".
4) God needs nothing. God requires nothing in order to be happy. God is happiness itself. Therefore, God requires nothing of anyone or anything in the universe.
5) God is not a singular Super Being, living somewhere in the Universe or outside it, having the same emotional needs and subject to the same emotional turmoils as humans.That Which Is God cannot be hurt or damaged in any way, and so, has no need to seek revenge or impose punishment.
6) All things are One Thing. There is only One Thing, and all things are part of the One Thing That Is.
7) There is no such thing as Right and Wrong. There is only What Works and What Does Not Work, depending upon what it is that you seek to be, do or have.
8) You are not your body. Who you are is limitless and without end.
9) You cannot die, and you will never be condemned to eternal damnation.
These statements are true. These revelations are real. They can be used, if you choose as one basis for a new Spirituality. Yet turn, first and foremost, to the truth and the wisdom and the love within your own being. Test everything against that. Measure everything by it.
Remember that the greatest tool you will ever have with which to create not only a new spirituality, but a whole new world, is your own life, lived.
Use the moments of your life to demonstrate your own highest truth, to offer your own genuine love, and to heal every wound that you and others have inflicted upon yourselves.
Your lives do not have to be the way they are. Human beings are capable of living together in peace and harmony. Yet some people must decide to show the way. Some people must declare with their lives that they are the way. Some people must choose to be the first domino.
