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 WorldPeace is an all inclusive determination.

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

    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. I had no criminal history, no prior arrest and I pled guilty dispite my innocence becasue 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 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 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 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 advocate.

     In 21 years as John WorldPeace I have learned a few things about peace. The most significant thing I have learned is that people hate peace and they hate even more those who advocate it. 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 WorldPeace 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 WorldPeace are race, religion, nationality and gender. I am a son, father and grandfather. I have been a husband (twice), a scholar, a soldier, a prisoner, an advocate for peace, a candidate for governor of Texas, a mason and Shriner, a lawyer (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 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 WorldPeace 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. 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. Only I have a global vision that encompasses all these worthy ranks of 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 in the world). 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; 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, two weeks ago, 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 are 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.

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. WorldPeace 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 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 WorldPeace 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.

The level of peace in the world at any particular moment is in part the sum of all the random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty! We cannot create 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 a Chance.

"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,

     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 !

     Every act of peace increases the overall level of peace in the world society.   Chanting world peace increases one's consciousness of it.  Writing world peace enshrines the concept.  Meditating on world peace brings illumination.  Praying for world peace seeds it within the social fabric.  Wearing a world peace insignia of any kind transforms one into a point of light for world peace.  Thinking world peace will manifest WorldPeace.

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
WorldPeace will become our reality

"There is an alternative mindset to war called world peace that will change and uplift the human race if we have the determination to demand it."

- John WorldPeace

"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 !
