What can we do to
help?
We
have been sent some very beautiful poems, songs and even a vision endorsing
the concept of world peace. With all due respect to the talent and idealism
of the people who sent them this is not what we want. Every sane
person on the planet knows that world peace is a desirable state of affairs;
we don't have to wax lyrical on it. What we need are comments on the
practicality and logistics of what is being proposed so that we can have
something concrete and practical that can be put on the tables of world
leaders as something that will actually work.

Brilliant! loved the
intro and clarity of the site and look forward to looking at it in more
detail.Can I stick your website in a webring?
my own notion of worldpeace can be assisted through the thought-experiment
2020worldpeace
check out the website if you like. Would you be interested in a discussion
conversation
to compare models of how to achieve worldpeace
realistically
because I like your opening statement
which is so bold:
We believe that in this website lies the only real solution to the creation of World Peace.
Brilliant!
Thanks David Pinto, Teacher, Portugal.
Thanks for your support. Please feel
free to promote this website anywhere you think it will help.

Global education
leaders must be persuaded to teach a common language, (not
instead of mother tongue), no matter which language is chosen, then we can
be
certain of what each other is saying in the media and will no longer be
fooled
by our own or other, or opposing governments -Lorraine Besset
Thank you for raising an important
issue: we haven't touched on language in this website, but one of the
consideration in creating a universal army of the nature that we have
described, is that the soldiers would all have to speak the same language if
it was going to work effectively. This may or may not open the door for the
large scale application of esparanto, which would be ideal for this military
purpose, but it would definitely require all cadets/soldiers wishing to join
this army in learning the same language, which no doubt would
eventually trickle through to the rest of the world's affairs.

Your website is very
interesting but my comment would be that you have your head in the clouds -Nanaya
(assistant to the president of Ghana)
Thank you for saying what no doubt many
others will think. There is nothing wrong at all with having your head in
the clouds as long as the feet are kept firmly on the ground. We have tried
to present a plan that can actually be implemented in fact; not an idle
dream. As far as we can see, we have succeeded.

While I haven't read
your entire website yet, I would respectfully suggest that at
the very opening you left off the most important of the world's
problems and the solution to world peace, namely, "Treating animals with
respect!" This is veritably the pathway to world peace because it
establishes the basic respect for life, without which we will never have
world peace! Dr.Albert Schweitzer said it best: "Until he extends the
circle of his compassion to include all living things, man will not himself
find peace! If we also seriously consider the dictum of Socrates: "There is
but one good, knowledge; there is but one evil, ignorance" we can come
to recognize
that the worst of all human traits is arrogance and the most
important need we have is to acquire humility. If and when we can gain this
knowledge, a lesson that animals teach us so well, we'll have a chance to
attain world peace. Our failed basic perception of animals is a
tragically huge void in human development. Until we learn to perceive them
as co-living beings with whom we share the planet, we'll be forever
arrogant and devoid of humility - Joseph Pastore , Animal Advocate &
Rescuer , New York
One of the problems we point out in our
website is the unlikely-hood of everyone in the world attaining that level
of goodness and compassion that would make world peace inevitable. The world
is full of base, self-centred unfeeling individuals and it always will
be. We offer an alternative solution that takes this fact of life into
consideration.
Please don't worry because your chosen line of compassionate work is not on
our list; the list is only there to illustrate a point; anyone with a heart
to do the line of work that you are doing will do it irrespective of
our list. We would like to add that in our view compassionate works,
such as caring for animals, looking after the sick, orphans, widows and down
and outs etc, constitutes the MOST important work that people can
possibly do; we embrace the cause of world peace so that people such
as yourself can get on and do these most important works without the
disruption that fighting and war creates. We do not decline from
embracing these works ourselves with the erroneous view that striving for
peace is more important; it isn't. God bless you for what you do.

I don't mean to rain
on your parade, but people can never bring about world peace,
desirable as it may be. All the reasonableness on the planet will
never make world leaders agree on any given program. I say this because I
too want world peace, but I have found a real solution and (in my
opinion, as well as that of 7,000,000 others) the only realistic solution.
Don't shut your mind to this next comment please, because I am
talking about Bible prophesy. People tend to close their ears and minds
when the Bible is mentioned and I'm hoping that you are not among
those so disposed. The book of Daniel shows how the world leaders are merely
puppets in the hands of demonic spirit forces. They cannot bring us peace
because they cannot control themselves and they are not capable of governing
the human race fairly. The real solution, and ONLY solution, is for all of
humanity to allow itself to be governed by the Kingdom of God in the hands
of his appointed King, Jesus Christ. Man has attempted to govern himself for
thousands of years and its time to admit his dismal failure
and to accept God's government - the entire plan is documented in the Bible.
One government, one world, one faith, one human race - please!- Alan Baade
Thanks for your comment. We did
include prayer for peace in our website, as you well know, a
little prayer beats the biggest demon anytime. We did also include the
government by the wise and benevolent, which when it is properly
established, will recognise and accede to the sovereignty of the
Lord Jesus Christ.. It WILL be difficult to persuade world leaders to
accept the plan, because of the power trips they are all on, that's why we
favour the grass roots approach. This with prayer will make everything
possible. Here is something I know for sure - if even a fifth of the
population got down on their knees and prayed for world peace for just
a few minutes, that world peace would be guaranteed and assured. Don't
lose heart. We can and will do it.

I hope I am not the
only one, but it appears to me that all the 'problems' you list on
your website are symptoms and not the real problem. I believe the real issue
is that of a lack of connection with knowing who we really are. Once that is
discovered and understood by all of humanity the other 'problems' will cease
to exist - Dave Miller
Thank you for your comment. What
do you think would be the greatest and most difficult challenge: to
enlighten the whole world or to set up a temporary security system while we
are waiting for that to happen? It's the first isn't it! It is our intention
that the army that we intend to create to uphold world peace would also of
necessity be an institution that educated its members to 'know who they
really are' and thus contribute to the enlightenment of the world. We
do not believe that its services as a peace keeping institution would be
required forever, however we would hope for it to exist indefinitely as an
institution of education, training (in health and martial arts) and
enlightenment.
