World Peace and Prayer 2011 day III

 The third day of gathering, brought an unimaginable shift. Unimaginable..because I would not have "thought" it possible. There were many speakers sharing their stories, sharing their suffering from within the First Nnation of America, but not only that also from South Africa and Israel. Different tribes shared their sacred dancees from Astec to Inuit. And gradually the heaviness was transcended; a different dimension was reached, as people enter a zone of shared humanity; in that zone there is silence, and the maori beautifully captured that in a ceremony of by dance collecting all suffering of humanity ; then they led the silent audience to the sacred fire..and danced that suffering into the purifying Fire. When everyone regrouped, a lightness had entered..and sharing of being human..rather than Suffering Beings. A great experience of transcendence and healing! Wow; and that is the mission as far as I understand of the World Peace and Prayer day, the mision of Chief Arvol Looking Horse. We all heal differently from our inate separation of the divine, in Silence we are one! In Ceremony we are One!
