 Terrorism begins with the experiences of Trauma and Violence among the Children .
We must teach peacemaking to the next generation. If the children experience violence then they grow up to will think Violence is the answer to their problems!





We must learn how to be peacemakers for the next generation or the forces of violence will continue to win over their lives to direct them to future violence.

Death of another Black Teen sparks Riots in St Louis Mo




Michael Brown murdered in Saint Louis Mo sparks outrage in the African american community.
The issue remains the same . There is no justice for the poor.



The people who want peace in this world must gather the strength and resolve to resist the use of violence in this society to solve conflict. Until peacemakers unite and stand firm against the violence in this world ,those with power will continue to harm the weak and defenseless.!


It does not matter if the conflict is in the GARZA STRIP or in St. Louis Missouri
The pain is the same!
 
PRAY FOR A END TO THE USE OF VIOLENCE NOW!!

The present reality is clear! We are in a time when the thought of peace and a end to poverty is not the view of the majority of the people in this society!
Consider The Palestine war, immigration on our borders, and the issue of poor people in Detroit Michigan not having running water! We have loss our will to be compassionate! We must regain our spiritual footing if we are to see a end to this insanity! Palestinian children are being killed, children are being turned away back into violence from our borders and children's water are being turned off in this Christian nation.


Consider an airline full of passengers being shot down and we shrug our shoulders as if its just another day.
Let us consider the teachings of all the religious text and compare them to our collective actions in this society and around the world.
                                                                                    We continue to wonder why violence is so much a part of our world when we use violence each day to live in this society. Violence will not end in our cities until we stop the acceptance of the use of violence,  poverty  and suffering through our religious communities around the world.
In this blog I have attempted to address the escalation of violence and its acceptance  by mainstream culture. Through the years we have together watched the growth of this violence and the rapid decline of any sensitivity regarding the use of violence. Now I fear we are in a spiral of declining empathy regarding the suffering we see throughout the world. As we become desensitized to this growing violence we are losing our ability to respond to its overwhelming effect on our spiritual life. The spiritual self is losing ground to the individual obsession, to live in an technological fantasy world that induces apathetic self- absorption and hedonistic self serving behaviors. As we decline further into this virtual world, more violence will be required to maintain the illusions of normalcy. Look through this blog and notice the graduation of the use of violence since its creation. In just this brief time of this blog we can measure the expanded use of violence in the name of God, or right, or might, or just preference. We are facing the continued escalation of violence unless we become PEACE MAKERS! NOW! The alternative is obvious!

The violence will increase until the nation takes a hard look at the entire culture of violent reprisal seriously.
We must recognize the error of supporting a violent social milieu.
The recent activity of the Isis community and the worlds response  can also be connected to this same mentality.

Nothing will change in this world until we learn how to end armed struggle and conflict.
We will continue to experience these events until the spiritual and mental  perspective of the society is Changed. We must learn how to use our spirit and mental ability to resolve conflicts.
This will not change anything in the Mideast!




We must find a different path to justice!
Guns and Drones will not solve anything.

The spirit of peace will come to rest in the hearts of those who trust that the creation was meant for more than this!




Thank the almighty for those who can see beyond this reality!
