At Edgar Cayce A.R.E. in Virginia Beach
It’s interesting to me that all of our national celebrations have to do with war and violence. The Fourth of July celebrates our country’s independence, won through the Revolutionary War. Memorial Day is to remember war dead. Veterans Day is to honor those who must risk their lives in the service of war.
This July 4th, I’m going to do something different. I’m not going to celebrate our independence. After all, we won it a long time ago and Britain is one of our biggest allies. No, I’m not going to celebrate it. Instead, I’m going to meditate on peace.
How wonderful a world it would be if our national holidays had to do with love for mankind and peace instead of war.
How grateful we would all be if no more soldiers died in battle or in any way at all.
And how much more comfortable would life be if we had no more violence at home.
Let’s celebrate our heritage by praying for an end to war of any kind.
love this!

I like fireworks, but I’m usually in Mexico for the 4th, as I am right now. I will help you on the meditation for peace.

BRAVA! I woke up to a facebook wall of flag-waving posts. Seriously pissed me off. I’m with you all the way on this.
No worries my friend, it will happen. In the mean time the peace you find when you meditate is the forerunner. You will find what you seek. Much love
