WISDOM OF THE WORLD - WEEK 33

PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE.

We ask that the time of world peace is now.

May each person surrender to their higher selves and gain a new inner peace and serenity.

May we leave behind the residual conditioning and emotions of the past. And cultivate a new level of understanding, forgiveness and compassion.

Enabling the world’s population to live together in acceptance of each person’s individuality, diversity and beliefs.

Embracing a new level of stability, security, world peace, plenty for everyone, harmony and unity.

As each person moves forward on this level of unconditional love, may they shine and become empowered as they recognise their individual strengths, gifts and talents, and accelerate their own learning, experience, knowledge and wisdom.

Let us understand how all of this can effect a new foundation and benefit the highest good of mankind and humanity.

May each person make a difference in our World and from this life experience move forward with understanding and enlightenment.

As this prayer is said with the highest levels of love, sincerity and integrity.

In Love, and Light and Healing

So be it, and so it is

WISDOM OF THE WORLD - WEEK 20

LOVE LETTERS

A lover wooed a woman unsuccessfully for many months, suffering the atrocious pains of rejection. Finally his sweetheart relented and sent him a message to call for her the following week. The lover was so excited and could hardly wait.

Eventually the day arrived and he set off with much anticipation. When he arrived and was at last seated by his beloved, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheaf of love letters and poems that he had written to her over the past months.

They were passionate letters, expressing the pain he felt and his burning desire to experience the delights of love and union. He began to read them to his beloved. The hours passed by and he read on and on.

Finally the woman said, “What kind of fool are you? These letters are all about me, and your longing for me. Well, here I am sitting with you at last and you are lost in your stupid letters.”

WISDOM OF THE WORLD-WEEK 3

A TEACHER PRAYS

(Based on 1 Corinthians, Ch:13)

If I could explain everything perfectly to my students but do not love them, I might be talking to an empty room.

If I could buy every kind of education aid, but do not have love for my students, my money would be wasted.

Love is patient, when it is necessary to repeat a concept over and over again to a student who is having difficulty.

Love is kind, when an irate parent accuses and berates other teachers or me, and I do not retaliate in anger.

Love is not jealous, when another teacher has an entire class of well-behaved and intelligent children and mine are not.

Love is not proud, when my students improve greatly and tell others how much they love and enjoy my classes.

Love does not scream at my class when they misbehave, but helps them understand the importance of self-discipline.

Love does not broadcast my student’s problems to others, parents or even my family members, but remains discreet.

Teaching methods, textbooks and other technological aids will eventually be discarded, but love will remain forever.

These three things I have learned through TEACHING: diligence, patience and LOVE, but the greatest of these is LOVE
