Rene,
Sorry, I understand some of your grammatically dark passages very badly. It is
the first.
Second, you show a lot of erudition, but we see no logic and peace sense. We do
not see at you the words "peace", or "harmony", or "mind", or "education", etc.
You demonstrate only the "occupation."
Thirdly, we are now at confusion how to understand the Association of World
Citizens? Is it the Association of peace or war (occupation) citizens? Your
terminology and ideology of "occupation" are a militaristic vocabulary, not
peace. Your demonstrations in Turkey, Brazil, as before in the Arab world are
violent actions of the anarchic crowd totally ignorant in harmony. Its violence
is no better than any other violence - it's madly devoid reason and harmony.
Fourth, you are peace professor but you are showing anything instead of peace.
Your "Occupy Wall Street" and your occupation of the world ("Occupy the
World"!) - It is a call to total violence and universal empire. It's more like
black anarchism than peacefulness. When you will occupy the world that you will
be doing in it without the knowledge of peace and harmony and without
harmonious education? This is a rhetorical question!
Fifth, you want to repeat the student anarchy 1981 and 1982, which showed only
a total ignorance of the students and their professors-masterminds in harmony
and good knowledge of Marx's class struggle. (But Marx was also illiterate in
harmony; he just neglected it and considered it beneath own revolutionary
dignity at all his genius). What positive for peace and harmony they (1981 and
1982) have left? NOTHING! You are advertising himself as Theosophist. But they
do not call for the occupation of the world! Hitler dreamed about it.
Sixth, you are demonstrating a monstrous logic and thinking: "If this is true
for the negative impact of financial decisions, it is also true for positive
actions." By this logic, the negative solutions of Holocaust in 6 million of
Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, terror September 9, 2001
in New York, or the genocide in Rwanda and the like "negative decisions is also
true for positive actions." It's hard to say what is more here - ignorance,
naivety, dementia or desire to show off? But in any case, the ideology of
occupation together with the identification of positive and negative values,
the recognition of their equal true ("is also true") - this is not an ideology
of peace and harmony. They contradict to the GHA peaceful vision. I am
surprised that you do not understand it, when you write: "I thought you might
be interested" in it. Such a thing could write a person who absolutely does not
know me, do not know the GHA does not know its books, including the ABC of
Harmony ....
Unfortunately, I do not know what could be the harmonious response to such
militaristic invitation "occupy the world" and share a similar vision .... I do
not see a different reaction than conflict. But you know my position here:
harmony can not be conflict-free and peaceful with ideas of occupation (and
similar) and equal truth of good and evil. If I am wrong in interpreting your
ideas cited, please, show me this by facts.
But I can not keep quiet and make a good face at bad game. GHA vision may not
be compatible with any "occupation".
Best harmony wishes,
Leo

thought you might be interested in earlier efforts. Best wishes, Rene Wadlow
NEW AGE GLOBAL REVOLUTION IN CLEAR PROGRESS: Occupy Wall Street, Occupy my home
town (Fort Wayne), Occupy Detroit, Occupy the World
By Constance_Cumbey
. . .
This IS the New Age Movement's long awaited global revolution in progress. How
much more evidence do we need?
Oh, and remember Rene Wadlow, an activist with Lucis Trust, the Theosophists,
and World Citizens? He issued his own hoped for prognostication of the
meaning of "Occupy Wall Street." It looks as if they may have BIG PLANS for
next spring just as they did in 1981 and early 1982
The Day of the Citizens of the World
The passage at midnight between 20 March and 21 March marks the central moment
of the Day of the Citizens of the World. It is the start of the Spring Solstice
and is celebrated in countries influenced by Persian culture such as Iran,
Afghanistan and the Central Asian Republics as Navruz (Nawroz), the start of
the New Year. It is a period of renewal, of new beginnings, and a time of
recognition that we are all citizens of the world bound together in a common
destiny.
The Spring Solstice as the Day of the Citizens of the World marks a profound
regard for cycles. Every cycle has a beginning, a middle, and an end; and
nearly every cycle is followed by another. It was this sensitivity to cycles of
change that served as the basis for the Chinese philosophy embodied in the I
Ching – the Book of Changes. In the Richard Wilhelm translation, the text for
the hexagram Fu advises “This is the moment, but it is not brought about by
force…the moment is natural, arising spontaneously. For this reason, the
transformation of the old becomes easy…Therefore, it is not necessary to hasten
anything artificially. Everything comes of itself at the appointed time. This
is the meaning of heaven and earth…The return of health after illness, the
return of understanding after an estrangement: everything must be treated
tenderly and with care at the beginning, so that it may lead to a flowering.”
The Spring Solstice is an intrinsically meaningful cosmic-terrestrial event and
at the same time serves as a powerful symbol for the deepest processes of
transformation in the individual and collective human psyche. Wisdom consists
in knowing one’s place in any given cycle and what kind of action (or restraint
from action) is appropriate for that phase. What is constructive at one time
may be destructive at another.
Thus, the passage from an international system based on States to a world
society based on the vision of world citizenship is a transition which flows
naturally, without violence and without a destruction of the old. World
Citizenship is based on a broad awareness of the ways the planet Earth is
inter-related — what happens in one part of the world or to one group of people
has an impact on all others.
The Spring Solstice — Day of the Citizens of the World — is placed under the
sign of Hermes Trismegistus (the thrice-great Hermes) who is said to have lived
in Egypt at the time of Moses. As a priest and an older man, Hermes would
naturally have taught Moses about the Light in which we live, move and have our
being. Hermes was also thought to have been the teacher of Orpheus, who passed
on the teaching concerning the order of the world to Pythagoras and Plato.
Thus, there is, in the tradition of the Alchemists, the symbol of Aurea Catena
— the Golden Chain — an unbroken series of wise persons — women and men— from
Hermes Trimegistus to the present, a chain which also symbolizes the links
between heaven and earth.
This Aurea Catena chain is depicted in a 1488 mosaic of the Sienna Cathedral,
Italy, where we see two figures, one from the East and one from the West coming
to receive instruction from Hermes. Knowledge and Wisdom flowing toward both
the East and the West is a key symbol of world citizenship. Thus the Day of the
Citizens of the World is placed under the sign of the thrice-great Hermes.
The current financial-economic crisis has brought the realization to many that
we are all associated in one world. The decisions of a few can have an impact
on the many. If this is true for the negative impact of financial decisions, it
is also true for positive actions. Thus the Day of the Citizens of the World
can be a day for greater awareness of the need for cooperation and mutual
action. The Day calls for individual commitment and responsibility.Rene Wadlow,
President, Association of World Citizens
Charming! Well, it's now happening. Expect them all to come out of the
woodwork!
