“Mi oppose violence because, when it seems to produce good, it is a temporary good; while the evil it does is permanent ”Gandhi said. Sunday 6 November at 10.30 a big one will be held collective meditation for peace with thousands of people on the site italyforpeace.org, a spiritual movement for the peace. Never before has it been necessary to reflect on what political scientists call it “absence of war”. The nuclear threat of Russia, the conflict in Ukraine, the winds of revolution in Iran, the energy crisis, the pandemic are leading us to such a state of prostration that is not only external to us, but also internal. So much so that the word of the year, according to Collins’ British vocabulary, is “permacrisis”.
To meditate, just connect to a device, sit with your back straight and close your eyes
Every change occurs first of all within us
“We need to change man to change humanity” underlines the promoter of the initiative, the writer, psychologist and screenwriter Alberto Simone, author of the book Reborn in joy (Tea). “On the threshold of the new millennium, no one would ever have imagined that the world would again be faced with a war in the heart of Europe and the danger of a possible nuclear catastrophe. It is up to everyone to choose within themselves between a scenario of extinction and death and one of peace and progress. Nobody is saved alone and at the same time no significant change can take place in the world if it does not start from a profound inner transformation. With this meditation we can contribute to an awakening of consciousness ».
United for peace without placards, slogans and banners
The appointment is at 10.30 on Sunday 6 November. Just connect to the site italyforpeace.org. to meet up with thousands of other people. «The intent of the initiative is to create a moment of meditation and deep connection with oneself and with others, to respond to the disorientation and sense of individual helplessness that many of us feel in the face of destructive events of planetary and epochal significance »continues Simone. “We must learn to live together as brothers or we will perish together as fools,” said Martin Luther King.
Why the choice of meditation for peace
The underlying intent is to offer a platform and connect anyone who wants to promote the awakening of individual and collective consciousness on the issues of war and nuclear danger. «Meditation, especially in its collective form, is a powerful tool for inner change and transformation not only capable of influencing and awakening consciences, but also capable of creating an impact in the real world “observes Simone, author of a “Trilogy of happiness” (Happiness on the bedside table, Every day a miracle And The art of loving youalways for Tea).
