How can we manifest peace on earth if we do not include everyone
(all races, all religions, all nations, both genders) in our vision of peace?

     We can't. A Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim vision of peace will never manifest WorldPeace because the dictates of all religious bureacracies are exclusive
and World Peace is an all inclusive determination. And yet: "Like the bee gathering honey from the different flowers, the wise person accepts the essence of the different scriptures and sees only the good in all religions." Mahatma Gandhi
The truth is often paradoxical

This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the World !

World Peace

IMAGINE
(World Peace)
John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

WORLD PEACE DEFINED

WORLDPEACE (World Peace) IS:

World peace (WorldPeace is in fact one word but I use the conventional world peace in order to satisfy the search engines) is the ideal of all the major religions. All religious leaders advocate world peace. World peace is also the objective of women who are subordinated world wide and whose subordination is a core issue within the issues of nationalism, religion and race which are the core impediments to world peace. The association with any religion, nation or race is in fact an elitist exclusive mindset which can never increase the level of peace in the world human society because world peace is a democratic, non elitist. all inclusive mindset where nationalism is subordinated to world citizenship, religion is subordinated to spirituality (a belief in God) and race is subordinated to the reality that we are all human beings. As long as women are subordinated within all societies within the world human society, the all inclusive concept of human beings is further chaotically and unpeacefully split into men and women.

THE TOPICAL OUTLINE.

I. Impediments to WorldPeace (World Peace)
      A) Race
      B) Religion
      C) Nationalism
      D) Gender bias. Only politics (nationalism) and religion are presently distinguished.

DEFINITION OF WORLDPEACE (World Peace)

WorldPeace (which is normally written as two words; world peace) indicates that world and peace are two things. Conceptually world peace should be written as one word. The discussion is about WorldPeace not about world peace. A discussion about world peace, two words, is meaningless.

World peace has four major componets. The four core componets of world peace are 1) political 2) religious 3) racial and 4) gender bias against women. All four of these componets are in essence charged with and mandated and responsible for the promotion of peace in the world. Yet as core divisions in the world human population they are divided into elitist exclusive clusters. As elitist exclusive clusters of human beings they cannot promote world peace becasue world peace is an all inclusive democratic concept. Therefore an American peace will never manifest world peace because an American peace excludes other national concepts of peace as opposed to including them. So the concept of American Peace as applied to the world is capable of no more than an American peace which the majority of the world politically rejects. The same way the Buddhist reject a concept of world peace based on Jesus, and White humans reject a concept of world peace based on Black humans and men reject a concept of peace that gives women true equality in the world human society. So world peace requires a discussion of peace without distinguishing the world human population by nationality, race, religion or gender. A discussion of world peace must be held by WORLD CITIZENS who have subordinated their race, religion, nationality and gender. The problem of course is that in reality these four divisions argue that the absence of world peace is due to the opposition of other componets of the categories of race, religion, nationality or gender.

This discussion of world peace must include a discussion of all of these divisions of the world human society and how they impact and are in fact an impediment to world peace even as they advocate world peace. To propose that world peace is limited to peace among nations and ignoring the underlying lack of peace due to religious and racial wars and the undeniable global fact of the subordination of women is like discussing assault weapons as the only cause of mass murder.

THE POSSIBILITY OF WORLD PEACE

WorldPeace is One Word

According to John WorldPeace in order to define Peace or World Peace, we must start by writing WorldPeace as one word because it is the combination of two concepts of "world" and "peace" and writing it together indicates the concept of WorldPeace something different from writing the words separately as world peace which is really meaningless.

This entire world peace conversation prior to this commentary by John WorldPeace is off the mark. It has been limited to a discussion of how to deal with the reality of the lack of world peace, no nation at war with another nation generally speaking. What it does not consider are wars based on race and religion. These wars cross national boundaries. But world peace is even a broader concept in that it also includes the end of the violence and the subordination of women. These are the four core impediments of world peace; nationalism, racism, religion and gender bias. There are almost an infinite number of sub issues impacting on the level of peace in the world human society. The implementers and impediments to world peace are politics, the law and bureaucratic religion.

The reality is that there will never be world peace. The reason for this requires the consideration of the common denominator of all disharmony and unpeaceful actions in the world human society. That common denominator is simply CHANGE. All things change. All things, tangible and intangible, that manifest in this reality (world) in time disintegrate. This constant change requires the entire world human population to shift at the birth of every child and at every human death. Every death and birth causes a ripple effect in the entire world human society. There is a constant tension in the world human society between opposing groups with an infinite number of individual and group agendas. And this is complicated by the fact that humans belong to many groups, some even with opposing philosophies and mandates.

So all the arguments and commentary regarding world peace are really about increasing or increasing or decreasing the level of peace and world peace in the world human society. It is ridiculous to consider the end of governments. Whether we have the present nation states or end up with one federal order with subdivisions under it, the world human population will always be divided politically. Further, the world human population will also always be divided by race, religion and gender. There will never be a true world peace much less a perfect peace. Not even when Jesus reasserts his physical presence. To create a perfect peace would be to freeze everything that exists permanently; to stop change. That is a totally ridiculous consideration. Everything in this reality changes and always will. This reality is dynamic and cannot become static without becoming non human.

The Christian peace essentially requires Jesus to turn all human beings to stone so that there is no interaction and then there will be a perfect peace. The Christian Bible tells of wars in heaven among the angels even as contemporary preachers refuse to consider what this means in their lessons on how heaven will be peaceful.

So world peace requires a new definition. That definition is that we already have a level of peace and world peace. And it is not a perfect peace because that is impossible. We have a level of peace and world peace and what we can do is to increase the level of peace or decrease it. That is all that can be done and all the speculation on this topic is nothing but how the various nations, religions, races and genders can increase or decrease the level of peace in the world by their actions. The level of peace in the world human society at any moment is simply a measure of the existing tension that exists at that particular moment in the world human society.

There will never be peace as long as human beings gather in groups. When a person belongs to any group, that person becomes an impediment to peace because his association with others of his race, religion, nation or gender is an elitist exclusive mindset. The concept of peace and world peace is one of total democratic inclusiveness. This is why an American peace will never manifest world peace. A White peace will never manifest world peace. A Christian peace will never manifest world peace. And a masculine peace will never manifest WorldPeace. Let me repeat that perfect peace is impossible within the world human society. So more accurately these various divisions and groupings in the world human society will through their actions increase or decrease the level of world peace. That is all that can be discussed and considered; how do we increase the level of peace in the world human society.

Therefore, any discussion about world peace really comes down to increasing the peace by human beings letting go of their individual distinctions of race, religion, nationality and gender and simply come to deal with each other as human beings first and foremost. We all belong to the human race. That is our common democratic denominator. As we subordinate our elitist exclusive mentalities and prejudices we embrace a democratic inclusiveness which is what God is usually portrayed as being and promoting.

All discussions are about increasing or decreasing the peace. However, due to the short lifespan of human beings, each generation has to learn the lessons of peace again. Those who most want peace are those who have lived through the most chaos and disharmony. When the majority of human beings have not experienced the hell of chaos and disharmony, then you can bet that conflict is not far behind. The wars between various groups for superior power in the world human society will never cease. It is impossible for human beings to let go of their group identities because the world will always be full of change and therefore full of treachery,chaos and disharmony. This is fundamental and it requires all human beings to align themselves with groups that will protect them in times of chaos. It is about survival. This is the shared belief among human beings which is in fact an impediment to peace and world peace.

Human beings should work and pray for the reduction of political and religious and racial wars and for the end of discrimination of woman throughout the entire world. This is when the level of peace will reach its highest marks.

Now this is a framework within which to discuss increasing the peace in the world human society. The is the framework within which to consider increase the peace and world peace. The world peace conversations can now turn productive as we understand the conversation. Peace comes to human beings but not to Americans, Blacks, Buddhists or men as long as each insists upon such a distinction in the world human society. Let go of group identity and association and embrace humanity and accept the humanity in others and the level of peace on the earth will rise dramatically.

When peace becomes our priority, world peace will become our reality.

     My name is John Worldpeace. John WorldPeace was not my birth name but it has been my legal name since April 1, 1988. My journey in this life includes a mission of peace. I am an advocate for world peace but I am not a pacifist. The nature of this reality is change. Into this chaotic world society, I repeat messages of peace. Those messages are my life. I have no organization to join. No disciples. No followers. No doctrine or dogma. I am just one man with one simple message: WorldPeace.

Visualize WorldPeace !

    On December 22, 2007, I became a political prisoner in the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons. The official charge was resisting my attempted arrest (which I did not do) by a Deputy Federal Marshall on a CIVIL bench warrant to appear as a witness in a federal court. I was charged with a misdemeanor for which I served the maximum sentence of one year, day for day, in the Harris County Jail and in the Brooks County Federal Detention Center in Falfurrias, Texas, USA. I had no criminal history, no prior arrest and I pled guilty dispite my innocence because I fully understand American justice. I was kept in solitary confinement because I am White, was denied medical treatment, was given an inadequate amount of food to eat, was denied telephone privileges and denied recreation as well as kept in a cell that on the average was 65 degree farenheit.

     Like Gandhi, King, Mandela, the Apostle Paul and other peace and world peace advocates, I wrote while I was incarcerated. Over 750,000 words that represent an autobiography, a prison journal, two WorldPeace novels, a biography of St. Francis of Assisi, A commetary on the book "A Purpose Driven Life", a consolidation of the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and the gospel of Thomas, and a textbook for a University course for credit on peace and world peace in the global village with an emphasis on the deficiencies and inability of the political, judicial, and religious bureaucracies of the world to advance peace and world peace beyond the level where it has been stagnated for millennia. Shortly, these books will appear on this web site.

     Where my enemies thought they would punish me, they gave me the solitude to order my thoughts. Where they thought they would destroy me, they renewed my strength. Where they thought to discourage me, they fortified my determination and cemented my resolve. Where they laughed at my pain, I turned the other cheek. Where they thought to defame my good name, they gave me my bona fides as a peace and world peace advocate.

     I have been John WorldPeace since April 1, 1988 and I have learned a few things about peace and world peace. The most significant thing I have learned is that people hate peace and generally laugh at the potential reality of world peace. They hate even more those who advocate peace and world peace. The world of human beings is a cynical unforgiving place where love, compassion, and tolerance finds it hard to secure a foothold. In time, I will tell my story. My story is one of a man engaged in the grassroots impediments to peace and world peace and not one of a pacifist sitting on the sidelines thinking about peace which is just one step above apathy. The core impediments to peace and world peace are race, religion, nationality and gender and their manifestations and manipulations by politics, the law and bureaucratic religion. I am a son, father and grandfather. I have been a husband (twice), a scholar, a soldier, a prisoner, an advocate for peace and world peace, a candidate for governor of Texas, a mason and Shriner, an attorney (After 20 years I was rightly disbarred from a club of vicious predators in a combative money driven American legal system because I am, thank God, not one of them), artist, writer, an anvil and a hammer. And through it all I have remained a spiritual Christian with never a moment's doubt regarding the true nature of this temporary earthly reality and the infinite immortal fact of an eternal all inclusive God who is my resting place and that underneath me are the Everlasting arms. I am the fool who has gone where few dare to go. I am the hero with a thousand faces. At the end of my life, no matter the impact of what I have done, I will be able to say in truth that I tried. That I tried to increase the peace and world peace within the world human society.

     Something else that I have learned the hard way through experience is that evil is a tar baby. You cannot engage it without getting it on you. In attacking evil, to some degree you become evil. The best thing to do is to avoid evil. Yet there are times when this is not possible. When you must engage evil, don't deal in evil and when your engagement has run its course use prayer and meditation to cleanse yourself of the darkness that you have taken within you. This is not easy to fully understand or apply. But it is none-the-less absolutely true.

 There is no global advocate for world peace on this earth but me. There are many who advocate peace for women's equality, civil rights, justice, freedom, and who confront racial prejudice and hatred between humans and the never ending pain and suffering brought about by predatory sociopathic acts and apathy in many local arenas as do I. But many people do acts of charity as Americans but maintain their prejudice against non Christians. Many Christians who do much good still maintain their racial and gender bias. Christian Americans supported slavery and committed genocide against the Native Americans. The Catholic church denies women the rank of Cardinal and Pope. America stinks of gender bias against women as does the entire world human society. Only I have a global vision that encompasses all these worthy ranks of peace and world peace advocates. There is only one person who has taken the name WorldPeace. Within my advocacy all are included. I embrace all but I belong to no organization. To become a member of any group, one is required to take on an air of elitism and exclusiveness and with it prejudice and judgment and their undeniable manifestations of pain and suffering and apathy within the world human society based on unsupportable groundless core racial, religious, national and gender prejudice and bias.

     I will never accept the ridiculous argument (lie) that there is an inherent difference among humans in the world society based on race, religion, nationality or gender (which is the most debilitating and destructive impediment to peace and world peace). I will never accept that we cannot increase the peace. I reject fundamentalist Christian apathy that accepts pain and suffering while they wait on Jesus to return (from where I do not know); a Jesus, who advocated a proactive love day to day, moment to moment. The reality of Jesus is that he is ever present. He went nowhere. I may well be speaking to the deaf. But that will not discourage me from trying to make a difference because I know that at the end of this life all I have will be taken from me and I will exit this reality with only my acts and omissions to present to an all inclusive God. Let those who have ears, hear. Let those who have eyes, see.

Barak Obama's election was a miracle. With his election as President of the United States a window to the Third Millennium has opened. The time of the last of the CroMagnon/Neanderthal presidents has passed from the scene of American politics.

Further, on April 11, 2009, Susan Boyle appeared on British TV as a bright comet touching deeply those who needed a healing. Those who had thought that God had passed them by. No one can watch her video, as almost a 100 million have on YouTube and not be moved.

But of greater note are the following commentaries from children of the Thrid Millennium.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYS9YHwpyE&feature=response_watch

There is nothing really special about this except the age of this kid and the total familiarity and comfort with the youtube/internet/computer medium. I consider how many kids there now who are no longer held back by teachers teaching a class at the pace of the slowest or most unmotivated brain. The number of geniuses in society will rise dramatically because of the internet. Society is about to transform and uplift itself beyond what anyone can presently imagine or hope. An increase in the level of peace and world peace is definitely on the horizon of the world human society.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx29Y131U64&NR=1

Here is another child commentary. Think about all these kids connected on the internet; from all over the world. World peace has a chance. This is my audience. This generation. Not the brain dead, apathetic, cynical, war mongering baby boomers who in the 60's were politically motivated but who soon after the Vietnam War ended sold out like their parents for the traditional materialistic American world vision; nor their children. The baby boomers who learned nothing from Vietnam and who not only said or did nothing but also endorsed another unwinnable devasting conflict as George Bush began an ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan based on lies like "weapons of mass destruction" and a Saddam/Osama conspiracy: where George has undeniably caused the killing and pain and suffering of more Iraqis and Americans than Saddam ever thought of harming. Saddam who we executed after a farcical show trial. George Bush sowed the wind and we now live in the whirlwind of a potential American and world economic meltdown, the ongoing ripple effect of two wars and a planet which is about to rebel at the destruction of the virus that is apathetic human beings with insatiable materistic demands.

It is the grand children of the baby boomers who are the first true digital natives and to whom the dream of a more just, sane and ecologically sustainable world in the Third Millennium belongs. This is why I intend to live to be 100. I must see how this new generation matures and turns out. And God willing maybe I can be a part of their destiny.

No doubt I am not the only one of my peers awakened to and committed to supporting these children and the hope of peace and world peace they promise. But none are more committed than myself. I never left the political antiwar pro civil justice mindset of the 60's while at the same time refusing to participate in the drug underside of the social change of the 60's that is fueling death and chaos, pain and suffering as those same American baby boomers buy illegal drugs from south of the United States' border and heroine grown in that other Bush war zone of Afghanistan. An opium economy which even the sociopathic Taliban are sane enough to see as an evil even darker than their world vision but who cultivate it to finance their rebellion and anarchy.

The level of peace and world peace in the world human society at any particular moment is in part the sum of all the human random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty! We cannot create world peace much less a perfect peace because the nature of this reality is change and a perfect peace is absolute stagnation. But we can increase the peace. That we can do. That is all I am advocating.

A New Millennium has begun. Peace Now ! All we are saying is Give Peace and World Peace a Chance.

All we are saying is
give peace a chance.

The world is one nation and humanity its citizens.

WorldPeace is One Word !!!
Until we write world peace
as one word,
it will continue to be two things. 

When peace becomes our priority

"An eye for an eye
 will make the whole world blind"

Mahatma Gandhi

WorldPeace is a journey, not a destination.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

The structure of WorldPeace cannot be the work of one man or one political party or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.

A Thousand Cranes for Peace

Sadako Sasaki died of Leukemia at age 12 as a result of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1948. In the hopes of getting well, she began her prayers of folding 1000 origami cranes. She wrote of her cranes: ' I will write Peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world.'. Sadako died before she completed her goal. The rest of the world has taken up the prayer of folding origami cranes for WorldPeace.

This is our cry. This is our prayer.
Peace in the World !

"INVICTUS"
by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate.
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

"DARE GREATLY"
by Theodore Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts; nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

"IF"
by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
