The Practice of Peace

[Birgitt Williams]

I take this opportunity to remind all of you that there are a number of us
who "Opened Space for Harmony in the world" and have made a commitment to
"hold" this space for the remainder of our lives. So far, hundreds of people
have joined us and the invitation is always there for any of you to make
this commitment by writing to me to advise that you are doing so. It is my
hope that over time, millions will be in our group of "space holders for
harmony in the world". On September 21st, 2001 a number of us from five
countries were present together here at our home and healing center in
Raleigh, North Carolina. At 7am Eastern Standard time we, joined in energy
with hundreds of others in the world precisely at that time, collectively
co-facilitated the "opening of space". Each of us made our commitment.

Those of us who were physically present created a circle of stones which
remains nestled in our woods as a symbol of this opening of and holding
space. I offer this to you as something to visualize. Whenever we are home,
Ward and/or I do a daily ceremony including prayer to do our part to further
this work in the world. The work is not so much about what we do but our
state of BEING. We believe in working with healing energy and with
maintaining a frequency with others in the world of love and harmony. It is
our deep belief based on the laws of resonance that if enough of us can only
hold steady in this frequency, that others will also rise to this frequency.
With the equivalent of the 100th monkey effect, or the laws of resonance, we
have within us, if we choose it, the power to achieve peace and harmony.

Please add your name to our list, making a lifetime commitment of "holding
space" for harmony in the world. The collective consciousness, working with
Spirit, has vast power.

If you are considering joining us, we will do a ceremony on March 21st at
7am eastern standard time, at the circle of "space holding" stones.

Blessings,
Birgitt

When I was in Israel it became so clear to me that the power we experience
in Open Space leads in precisely one direction -- towards Peace. Anything
else is simply inconsequesntial. And if we (or at least I) do anything it is
The Practice of Peace. On this cold night in February, I am sitting in
Gottland, a Swedish Island in the middle of the Baltic Sea -- watching the
BBC as the fires of war and madness burn in the middle east. I think of
Tova, Avner, and my Palestinian friend Carol -- and I cry. But I also wish
to celebrate their willingness to Open Space in the tightest of places. A
little rambling for sure, but I beg each one of you on this list around the
world to open some space in your heart for those caught in this mad caldron
of fire.

Harrison
