Review of the ABC of Harmony By Cici & Jeffrey Peters
We are so very impressed with the GHA ABC of Harmony book! It is well written, concise for a "huge" concept, and well presented - we are honored to be a part of GHA and two of its fervent supporters! Thanks to the authors for sharing their insights in this very useable and understandable fashion!The book will be an important and useful tool not only for schools of all levels, but for governments and government leaders as well. 14/08/12

JBP Jeffrey B. Peters A New World Community of Love and Peace Remarks prepared by Jeffrey B. Peters For: The World Forum on Spiritual Culture, October 19, 2010 My Dearly Beloved New Friends - My name is Jeffrey Blair Peters. I am Chief Executive Officer of The US-Mexican Development Corporation. I am Co-Founder of We The People. I was a Candidate for President of the United States of America in the year 2000, and most importantly, I am Founder of A New World Community of Love and Peace. I have a story to tell you.So please listen carefully because you might be the person I am looking for to Co-Create this New World Community of Love and Peace. My story begins in the spiritual capitol of Mexico – the valley of Tepoztlan, Morelos. On the morning of April 21, 2001, I was doing my morning meditation when two morning doves swooped down over my head and sat down in front of me on a stone wall, and began singing their Love Song – “Love You, Me Too – Love You, Me Too”.I interpreted that event as a sign that god was sending me the holy spirit of God’s Love. I believe that God has a plan for each one of us, and from that moment on I became a new ambassador of God’s Love. The story continues on August 15, 2009 when I woke up with a neon colored message from God which said: Create with me a New World Community of Love and Peace.So I began writing down the basics of this concept in the form of a one page press release which I will deliver to you at the end of my remarks.The press release goes like this: A New World Community Who, What, Where, and Why What?What do I mean by “A New World Community?” I mean a New World Community of Love and Peace for everyone, everywhere. We want the words Love and Peace; on your lips as you greet one another.We want “Love and Peace” on the top of your mind, and in the bottom of your heart. Where?In the hearts and minds of all people, worldwide. In Tepoztlan, the spiritual capitol of Mexico. Why?Why do suicide bombers kill themselves in order to kill others?There are many possibilities.Probably the most basic reason is that they feel their own life is not worth living, and they want the foreign invaders to leave their home country.Perhaps they do not have a job and their family needs money, and their “mentors” promise money for their family.And perhaps at their core, they do not love themselves nor have they received unconditional love from anyone, and their leaders promise them love in the “hereafter”. A beautiful song reminds us - “What the world needs now is love, sweet love, it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of”.“What the world needs now is love, sweet love, no, not just for some but for everyone”.Love for suicide bombers before, that’s right, before they destroy themselves and us. If potential suicide bombers received genuine love here on earth, they might not kill themselves to receive possible love in the “hereafter.”There can be no peace without love.Love first, then peace. Invitation: I have an Invitation for you – as one of God’s Ambassadors of Love, I invite you to co-create with me “A New World Community of Love and Peace”- will you step forward and help me?If you want to participate, please see me at the end of my Remarks.Or contact me with your feedback, comments, and suggestions for this work in progress – my email address is: jeffreybpeters@aol.com. Music:What might be the music of a New World Community of Love and Peace?The music could be: Dvořák’s “New World Symphony,” “All You Need is Love,” by the Beatles, Beethoven’s “Joy Theme,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Michael Jackson’s “We Are The World,” and “Dona Nobis Pacem.” We return now to our story.In August of 2010, I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that said: “Love and Peace to the Whole World”.(JBP shows the bumper sticker.) So I said to myself, this is great!I am not alone.Someone else has the same idea and made a bumper sticker.I found the owner of the car, and asked her, “who did the bumper sticker?” and she said John McCarthy from Boston.You can reach him via the website on his bumper sticker: www.people4motherearth.net.So I called John, and we became soul brothers, and his website became the website for A New World Community of Love and Peace. So now, you- my audience at the World Forum on Spiritual Culture – become a part of this story.Would you like to Co-Create a New World Community of Love and Peace?Do you, or anybody you know, have the financial resources to help this dream become a reality?With so much hatred and war in this world, would you prefer Love and Peace?You, the people, can make this happen.Greet each other now with Love and Peace, and pass it on.Do it now “Love and Peace”, and pass it on! I conclude my remarks with an exercise that may help you become involved in this New World Community of Love and Peace.I do this exercise in my morning meditation. There are 8 sources of our God-given positive personal power: The first four are: Intuition, Clarity, Focus, and Concentration The second four are: Patience, Persistence, A Good Sense of Timing and A Good Sense of Humor. Intuition of what to do next by listening loudly to your own inner voice of God. Clarity of Objective of Co-Creating with God, A New World Community of Love and Peace. Intensity of Focus by finding the people and the money to help make it happen. Concentration, patience and persistence – don’t stop and never give up until we have A New World Community of Love and Peace. And finally, a good sense of timing and a good sense of humor.Don’t be afraid to sing a song, or whistle a tune. And so, I close my remarks with a song and a whistle (The song is: Come Full Circle by Tom Wisner. And now: Joyful, Joyful , whistled from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony) May God’s Love and Peace be with you, Now and Forever more – AMEN. Are there any Questions?Please see me now, if you want a bumper sticker, or a Press Release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
