So, some while back Les mentioned a story of how a group of people surrounded the Pentagon, held hands and were planning on levitating the building and bringing about some constructive improvements.

The people at the Pentagon got worried and had the group broken up. What was it about that effort that had them so concerned?

This got me thinking about GAZA. I know the 2 seem unrelated but perhaps not.

GAZA is a situation that I feel strongly about, maybe like those people felt about the Pentagon.

I also mentioned earlier at "smoking" that each night I walk to a specific location (a big open field) and pray out loud. I do this each night at the same time in the same place, rain, shine, ice, snow, hail, heat, always.

So my thought is this:

How about I develop a Prayer for GAZA, we all synchronize watches, and at a specific time all people who want to join me say the same prayer at the same time together.

This is something that can be coordinated over the 'net, is positive and constructive, and I believe is worth the effort.

Something like this I am always up for because I know it works. I'm not likely to get into an ongoing collection of such efforts but I am certainly open to the occasional group work that focuses on necessary things. Some of us are atheists and some of us are much more proactive this way. Certainly within this group there will be subdivisions of people who have a common interest. You can let me know when that is; remembering that I am on Amsterdamn-Rome-Bern time and that I'm usually up from around 9AM to 2:00AM with a lot of wiggle room.

While the murder campaign in Gaza was being conducted by Gods chosen people.

After saying my prayer which I do of a night-time. I had the idea of saying to Jesus, if we all have a guardian angel, and seeing as I was going to sleep so chances of me having an accidental death were slim, why not send my angel over to Gaza where a childs life might be protected. I told my wife of this and she thought it not a bad idea, so perhaps there were two angels on a lot of occasions.

I like the idea of a prayer at a given time,and if "they" fear this, then more of the prayers. We need not believe in any particular God we just need the focus.

I have recently been of the belief that we as humans are on the edge of something, as if we were on a balance of good and evil, and because we have gotten so lazy and feckless, the balance is tethering to the side of evil. This I think is what they fear.

As a thought to this also, while I believe in Jesus and would not wish to force him on any other peoples belief. The Jesus I believe in would not have me kill in his name, to make me one of his chosen.

Thanks Mac, will keep you appraised of my plan. I do know people have other beliefs. But I thought the good outweighed the bad and so I said what I said anyway. Les says he may be up for it also.

Prayer for GAZA
amen to that, and don't forget the west bank as well

may the Palestinian people find peace, justice and freedom soon

stop the inhuman genocide by the racist murderous Zionist crime gang occupying Palestine

so may it be
forever and ever amen.

Josey, I have no experience with prayers as such but even so I am eager to join in as long as it wouldn’t be counterproductive for a non-religious person to participate. For reasons unknown to me, out of all the people in this world experiencing extreme tragedy and suffering, it is the people of Gaza who tug at my heart the most. I want so much for them and all Palestinians to be released from the death grip of their tormenters and to find the peace, comfort and justice that is so long overdue to them. Currently with daylight savings time, I live 6 hours behind GMT so in terms of GMT I would be 99% of the time available anywhere between 3AM and 9AM. The time zones do make things complicated don’t they and yet I think it is important that synchronization is achieved somehow, even if a couple or more common times are necessary. I will certainly need your guidance as to what words to send aloft but I do have a location in mind already.

Mac, I think your guardian angel on loan idea is very touching and I agree that it is essential that we begin immediately to focus very hard on the good side of the teeter totter because we are indeed in a precarious balance right now with the forces of evil. The people in this world who are kind and compassionate far outnumber the power hungry, murderous, demolition experts who strut about and plot to enslave but they must shake themselves into awareness and find some way to coalesce in order to evade these wannabe masters.

Where is Josey Wales?   

[Winnie]

Don't see Josey Wales on the posts anymore, and we are arriving at the time of yet another massacre anniversary on behalf of the fiendish -evils of the world.
I wondered of his idea of a prayer (thought) for the people of this misery not of their making.
Any thoughts.
Mac.

Yes, its been a year, and most days I say my prayer for the people of Gaza. I made a copy of what I say and then lost it somewhere around May (it got worn out, from pulling it out of my pocket each night and reading it word for word).

Thereafter, I began to improvise,...nowhere near as good.

I may have sent a copy of the original o Les, not sure?
