Can You Imagine ... ... Love

Can you imagine for a moment what the common man's thinking was several centuries ago when enslaving humans was a practice so common in some countries that no one was giving it any second thought? Never in their wildest dreams could the slaves believe that, one day, their descendants would live free and that one of their kin would be considered a leader of such charisma and intelligence that he could soon become the president of one of the most powerful countries on Earth. And yet, such a dream has come to pass...

Can you also imagine for a moment what the common's man thinking was a mere hundred years ago when half of the world's population was considered so unworthy and inferior, because they were female, that they didn't even have the right to vote? Never in their wildest dreams could the women of a century ago believe that, one day, their daughters and grand daughters would become equal citizens endowed with the same rights and benefiting from the same opportunities as men, and that several of them would have become powerful leaders in every field of human activities, heads of states and perhaps even president of one of the most powerful countries on Earth. And yet, such a dream has come to pass...

Can you imagine now what the common man's thinking is today regarding the seeming inevitability of war and violence perpetrated by humans against other humans and nature as something that will never change, like a never-ending plague that befalls humanity beyond its control? Never in our wildest dreams can we believe that, one day, no longer raising one's hand to hurt or kill another being will be tolerated nor even be thinkable. And yet, such a dream is soon coming to pass...

So, the three key principles of Love in action can be summarized as follow...

- We invite Love... -
--We dissipate any resistance to its flow...
--We radiate Love like a shining star...

"When humans truly discover the power of love, it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire."

- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin


"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."

- Martin Luther King Jr., Accepting Nobel Peace Prize, Dec. 10, 1964


"I believe that the mystery that placed the power of destruction in the binding forces of the atom has placed the healing power of love in our hearts and further gifted us with both the courage and wisdom to use that power effectively."

- Jonathan Granoff -- Taken from
