Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol III (Sep - Oct 2011)

In-deed, real Inner Peace can only be found while having the Courage
to stand bravely and lovingly in the face of those who would oppress the
same. Fighting evil only encourages it defend itself and grow stronger. At
the same time, stepping aside and merely “going within” allows that evil to
roam where it will unhindered. The only effective alternative is the “narrow
way” — the Way of Love, which stands boldly between evil and its intended
victims, while simultaneously forgiving it its malicious intentions. As such,
for your revolution to take hold, you must choose to see beyond the
behaviors of your persecutors, and thereby reawaken the glorious Souls
hidden within their pain-coated hearts.
“[Mythical] degrees of separation have
allowed us to destroy human beings we do
not know at all -- except as ‘enemy’.”
~ Shane Claiborne
“True revolution is when the oppressed are
freed from being oppressed and the
oppressors are freed from being
oppressors.” ~ Desmond Tutu
“The true revolutionary is guided by great
feelings of Love.” ~ Che Guevera
