World Peace, Politics and Freedom
Become the Powerful Change the World Needs to be HealedI have come to realize we cannot change a person's mind or educate them; this they must do themselves. Through a long study of the concepts of empowerment and transformation, I have concluded that INTENTION is paramount. Intention is the foundation of ALL inner and outer institutions of man. It is the basis of legal and judicial systems, all human contracts, and rests at the root of all innovation and progress.Your intentions define YOU. People are more than just response to stimuli, for they have the power to make decisions that reject the superficial 'rewards' of yielding to positive consequences. Many people have sacrificed themselves to fates that clearly were not congruent with self-interest by possessing intentions greater than the self. Thusly, deterministic or divine, intention is the seed-germ of all change, and can defy all environments. According to many theologians, the judgment of "the intentions of our hearts" by God upon our very soul is predicated upon our innermost intentions. According to philosophers and, now even scientists, intention is the foundation of numerous quantum physical, and metaphysical universal laws. Intention is the primary concern of all individuals, the collective, the state, and all judgments worldly and purportedly beyond. Both prayer and meditation are explicit forms of manifesting intention. In short, intention is the only pathway to the future we will likely ever know. Many people feel powerless. But, one freedom that no influence, power, city, state, government, group, consequence or intimidation can reach to gird, is the sovereign soul's ability to think, and consequently react to the situations of life. The most elemental root of our thoughts; the underlying structure upon which our complex ideals and knowledge stands is our basic intention. Propagandists, research scientist and consumer psychologist work steadily to pry into "black box" of free agency and thought, but thankfully individual sovereignty, and the indomitable will of man has not yet been bridled, or entirely broken, and we still have relatively free minds, IF WE CHOOSE. As individuals, it may seem we are not able to control or change the world, but through our willful intentions we may at least escape the culpability of our own complicit minds and hearts. When we internally oppose oppression, or any force that would usurp individual sovereignty, we thusly lift our hands from the collective reigns that empower such oppressions. We have the power to oppose, and therefor, not be party to what we see as injustice, EVEN if we belong to a collective that perpetuates the injustice. This is the liberating and defining power of intention. Through our intentions; a place no power can influence, we have the power to oppose. The terrible atrocities in the world require more from each of us than a regret-filled acknowledgment they exist; they require our most earnest intentions be focused on their immediate eradication. To do this we must first have conscious awareness that it must change. Once our 'rightful intention' is set and no longer accepts, we will in time begin to see the change as the collective mind rejects the injustice. The one and only true freedom we ALL posses is what we think; and our intentions govern what we think. We all feel that we cannot change the world alone, but as a free soul on earth we can express our intentions to NOT live in a world, where some humans, have in fact been reduced to nothing more than mere vessels of pain. We DO NOT have to be victimized by the ugliness in the world any longer. An incubus of ignorance, fear, hunger, oppression and intolerance haunts large regions of the world, and I have no delusions that I am immune. I refuse to forget that I too am human, that I too am frail, that we all are subject to such miseries, and that in time we shall all be subject to frailty and suffering personally. Will you acknowledge with me, that everything we have created in the world started as a tiny intention? We carry within us the enormity of possibility that gave birth to everything man has made in the world. Let us now yearn for the possibility of building a happiness in every heart. Let us now build inward, a new world of hope, a world of limitless possibilities for the children of tomorrow, where each soul can reach the heights of their potential to love, and to be loved. We have the power to set our intentions on the betterment our world. The very "least" among us has the enormous power to effect change through small and intended acts of determination and will. We can each immediately liberate ourselves as victims in the world, through solidifying an 'intent' to act; 'intent' to forgive; intent to love; 'intent' to be virtuous, polite and empathetic. Then with that 'intention' set into motion through the simplest first actions, we will begin to liberate ourselves from victimization, thereby creating an entirely new perspective and future. Our divine intention is to love, to be loved, to feel safe in this world and to each know our purpose. We have the power to choose these virtues, rather than choosing violence, rage, anger, revenge, greed, and other base impulses of the lesser-self without purpose. We may know our true purpose in life, because we may choose our purpose in life. Through my expressed intentions, I hereby declare that my purpose, which will be, and is now at this very moment being fulfilled is to rise above my own indifference, and irrevocably declare, that I CHOOSE to have a true, heartfelt compassion and empathy for my fellow man. Through my INTENTIONS, I will stand erect, defiant and without shame to declare, that IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The beginning of all power starts with your intention the very moment you choose to no longer accept the 'reality' you see before you. Do not underestimate the power in an individuals commitment to harness the power of their intention, which is a way for ALL people to be powerful. Express your intentions now, and become the powerful change the world needs to be healed.  Liberty, Freedom and Tyranny - Quotations and EpigramsFreedom: "Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have, but rather it is a sacred duty, and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent."Freedom: "It is better to lose everything you have to keep the balance of justice level, than to live a life of petty privilege devoid of true freedom." Rights: "The right to justice is something that no one can bestow, nor take away, for it is in one's heart." Freedom: "True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor - no matter the personal price."  Please! Please! Please! Please!No more ugliness, cruelty or painSad victims, and broken hearts The ghastly horrors, left to reign Once whole people, torn to parts A new world exists for us all Free from the gross ravages of fear From deep within comes the call For those that choose to hear The real world is speaking to you, Calm yourself in quietness and listen As the illusion flees from your view And truth rushes back in your being The truth of what life is really about To be this human magnificence Free from the fear and poverty of doubt Is the beauty of a kinder existence We can live in love, respect and peace For all people, and all living things, Division is the most deadly disease The dark bell, from which all misery rings We are all one, and we are all worthy Of our brief, and fragile moment, To live in this mysterious, grand world To which, we have all been sent Please! Peace for the children who suffer! WE ALL have the power and choice, Hope, love, food and clean water, Your thoughts, your legacy, your voice  Preface to Antonia Tosini's Book on Human Rights and Peace, "Bread and Sunflower"Antonia Tosini's masterful tribute to human rights and peace, "Bread and Sunflower" is a collection of ideals worthy of every reader's time and meditation. Ambassador Tosini's commitment to peace and human rights is commendable. Her visionary work in this book, and her humanitarian efforts around the world are a gift to us all.Fear is the greatest enemy; the father of all suffering, and love is the only cure for humanity's great afflictions. Throughout the pages of her soulful dedication to human rights and peace, "Bread and Sunflower," the reader is confronted with the grizzly realities of human life on Earth; a reality from which most people try to remain unattached. Far from unattached, Tosini has taken the savage plight of humanity's most grotesque and tortured victims deep into her heart. While her writings and thoughts meditate on these monstrous realities, they are passionately enjoined with her unique and unyielding positive resolve. From an indefatigable vision of hope that dwells deep in the author's soul, comes the miracle of a graceful new awareness; an awareness that while these horrors exist, we are all one, and there is still hope. Antonia's "Bread and Sunflower," is replete with ghastly visions, such as an unwanted "newborn baby being thrown into a river," by its father in her poem, "Out of the River." The emotional and poignant metaphor of that child being swallowed by the river as a "tiny flower," is enough to send the reader desperately searching for the solid ground of meaning and sanity in an insane world, for both violence and murder are forms of insanity. A mind selfishly uninvolved with the world's suffering will be rightfully molested by the author's poem, "Perversion," which chillingly whispers of a predator who, "Tastes the purity of the child," and in the aftermath of reading her lines about, "the little soul which sinks into nothingness," the reader too sinks into nothingness with that child. The awareness brought to each reader concerning these beastly acts is inescapable, for as the author skillfully illustrates in her work, we are all made victims; first by the act, and second by those who do nothing, or do not care. In "I Want," the author proclaims, "I want a world of love with no violence." Yet in, "LA TUA MANO," we are reminded of a "disgraceful world with no wisdom." What do we do when the world seemingly lacks the wisdom to live in the grace of peace, rather than a state of dis-ease? How can we, "break the chains of poverty and prejudice," which shackle each soul through the universal links of fear, greed and indifference? Like all of the great peacemakers throughout history, Antonia Tosini knows that the only answer is LOVE. In this book, "Bread and Sunflower," there exists two worlds. One world is nothing short of hell on Earth. It is a place where the unlimited creativity of humanity has been bridled and abducted by fear to create a vision of cruelty and indifference so chilling, that death itself has become a welcomed and kind benefactor. The other world is a world held in your hands. You, and those who love peace are the keepers of the bless'ed torch of hope, and its tendril flames, that burn in the hearts of every soul throughout the world, no matter how oppressed and downtrodden. Those who embrace love are the strength, for they who yearn in their deepest sinews that their children would live in a world of limitless possibilities, where each soul could reach the heights of their potential to love, and to be loved. As you will discover through the pages of "Bread and Sunflower," the only difference between these two worlds, that will ever exist-- IS YOU.  |
