Playing in a PEACE LAB
Namasté
On this Special Day, we would LOVE YOUR COLLABORATION AND PARTICIPATION on this quest…
The VISION for the Peace Lab is “Peace with Everything, and Everything with Peace.” ~ Lama Gangchen
We are envisioning a powerful step for Humanity Rising forward and upward by exploring what the Peace Lab can develop. We are on a quest to uncover a new definition of a mystery that is waiting to be solved for humanity and life on our planet. The PEOPLE are investigating and creating peace.
When you have any ideas that could bring peace in any manner, anywhere, anytime, please apply it and then share it ~ with us too…
What does the word “peace” mean to me? How is it changing /evolving? How is peace showing up in my life right now? Where do I see peace as an active and vibrant LifeForce? What situations and places are calling out for the LifeForce of peace? What unexamined beliefs and assumptions do I have regarding peace?
When we take some responsibility for being the Peace where we are, we are then models for others to follow ~ the ripples begin with us!
Together we fly more easily ~ like the two wings of a bird… :) The Peace Lab practices/programs dramatically reduces violence, recidivism, and wars… We get what we focus upon. Let's share our ideas and expertise. Shalom
Lots of Love,
K. A. Krueger Inspirit member, Peace Lab

Some ideas for stimulating our SOCIETY in the area of character consciousness
- The television/movie industry could have movie themes illustrating character trait(s). Older examples of successful series on American TV was, Touched by an Angel; or the movie, Remember the Titans. A set of 52 character traits could be spread out for one a week, to focus upon.
- The Print Media could emphasis the character traits daily, weekly or monthly with a feature article/story/page. More positive news about what is working. And heart opening stories…
- The Art Scene could have murals developed for the cities illustrating particular character traits. Students at all levels could be the artists that paint murals around the schools, and cities, thus empowering them to manifest the qualities depicted while developing their artistic vision and self-worth.
- Business and Industry can bring the character inclusion programs into their particular company AND by supporting character development through volunteering and offering financial support for character inclusion programs AND in their phone systems hold time, place recorded inspiring quotes.
- Education can use all the modalities and disciplines for inculcating quality character traits throughout the educational systems including the support staff and administrators.
