identified Colin Morley’s body and informed his family, last night, that he died
in the bombing of Edgware Road underground station on July 7.<BR><BR>Many of you
have been in touch, and your often moving emails have been forwarded to Colin’s
family – who are very touched and appreciative.<BR><BR>I would urge any of you
that want to express your feelings to now visit the page we have just set up
....’for Colin’ - at <A
href="http://www.bethechange.org.uk">http://www.bethechange.org.uk</A>
This way we can all share in the outpouring of love for Colin – and for
his family.<BR><BR>Colin’s wife and sons very much want to maintain their
privacy at this moment, and asked us all that we bear this in mind should we
have any dealings with the media.<BR><BR>Finally, we offer you this article by
Deepak Chopra, who spoke so movingly at Be The Change last May. It was written
the evening following the London bombings....<BR><BR><BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT

face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">The terrorist attack in London today has once
again created deep anguish in our collective soul...<BR><BR>Around the world
people yearn to find peace and give solace to the suffering and bereaved. Once
again the clash of polarized enemies clamors for attention. Al-Qaeda takes pride
in this heinous and sordid crime, while Western nations seek to bring the
terrorists to justice. Yet it would be naive to take the simple way out and call
this an example of pure evil and depravity.<BR><BR>In a very real way we are all
part of the London tragedy. Everyone is caught in the tangled web of social
injustice, economic disparities, ecological disaster, war, and terrorism. Unless
we accept this fact, we will continue with our madness of an eye for an eye, a
tooth for a tooth. Mahatma Gandhi declared that if we continue on this path the
whole world would go blind. Will we ever see through our blindness and create a
global community of connected humanity? To promote peace today means promoting a
critical mass of consciousness where violence is never an option.<BR><BR>London,
like the attacks in Madrid, Bali, and Indonesia before it, should make us want
to live for peace above all. I understand how it's possible to respond to
terrorism with deep anger; I cannot understand responding to it with anger that
goes on and on forever. There are causes behind every terrorist act and
therefore hope that these causes can be changed, even as we continue to pursue
justice. We still ignore the source of global instability: religious
fundamentalism which has its roots in extreme poverty, where 50% of the world
lives on $2 per day, 20% of it on less than $1 per day, a world where 8 million
people die each year because they are too poor to survive.<BR><BR>Terrorism also
festers because of a lack of education, toxic nationalism, ignorance about the
outside the world, and deep economic disparities. Twenty thousand children died
yesterday of hunger-related causes around the world, twenty thousand will die
today, and twenty thousand tomorrow. That is not part of the evening news. Why
not?<BR><BR>Nature abhors a deep imbalance. The human species has become the
most dangerous predator on our planet. Nature might be saying to herself, "Human
beings were an interesting experiment that didn't work, so let's move on." Or,
perhaps, our self awareness has reached a turning point. as Inside ourselves
we've always carried the seeds of creativity. The next creative leap isn't a
mystery. Millions of people are ready to join in harmonious interaction with
Nature--and with our own complex inner nature--to create a world of peace,
harmony, laughter and love. Let us strengthen our intention<BR> to create
that critical mass of peace consciousness. Every tear can be a drop of
nourishment for the new world that wants to be born and is making itself known
little by little, every day. Each one of<BR> us can help create this
critical mass by becoming the embodiment of peace conciousness through peace
practices :<BR><BR>Being Peace<BR> Thinking Peace<BR> Feeling
Peace<BR> Speaking Peace<BR> Acting Peace<BR> Creating
Peace<BR> Sharing Peace <BR> Celebrating Peace.<BR><BR><FONT

mind.<BR><BR><BR> Love,<BR> Deepak<BR></FONT></SPAN><FONT
