EXPERIENCE OF PEACE'S 7 WONDERS:
As far I have been able to map, Gandhian whole truth is comprised of 7 multiplying truths. Consequently, if our local or global systems wholly lose one, we lose them all:
peace*professions truth*media truth*learning truth*poverty truth*health truth*clean natural/climate truths
(including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food that fuels us ,the energy that fuels machines ... the waves that harmonise or not all gravities we the networking 21st C peoples organise around)
Four of these 7 peace wonders are discussed from minute 14 on in this talk by Ghandian, Medic and chief flow linker of google.org [Larry Brilliant]; the other three Gandhi mentored my grandad -a British Raj judge who imprisoned Gandhi in the 1920s and whose being was changed into writing up the legalese for India's Independence in the 1940s. I pray that we don't need to agree furiously over a different 7 names or an extension to another handful as long as we don't go way beyond 10 - already an outer limit for human recall. The only whole truth we need to believe to unite as beings on peace's same "trust map" is: peace is the mother (integrator) of all truth sub-systems - some appearing very economic, some as species-social as does every child have a basic right to life? And the mother of subsystems is represented mathematically by "multiply" -the living network operand because if you completely lose (zeroise) just one sub-system you lose them all.
At this stage, mathematicians can be ordered to go and look at a bottom line spreadsheet even a triple bottom one - and ask if this system is framed around plus or times- if it is plus you are governing with perfect maths for hiding what lost peace or lost truths you are compounding. The bigger your organisations the less entrepreneurial the less free market economic it can ever become if this is all everyone is being required to audit every quarter. All together now: value multiply, and for ever after hold your peace!
SIMPLE AS TRUTH
Now united by the trust map of peace -it is amazingly graceful isn’t it? But terrifying too, that most of us in North or West hemispheres don't teach this simple integrating view of peace as early as our children can experience it. Gandhian educators -including the world's most popular school www.cmseducation.org where 31000 children love learning like no other place I have so far found - recommend cross-cultural peacemaking as the main curricula connecting every other learning up to 5th grade. That way before a child reaches adolescence, she has self-confidence in being a cross-cultural representative of the human race, respect for world citizenship and herself, an eagerness to make the compound most out of her deepest experiential competences and help peers of both sexes and all cultures do likewise. QED
What was Demonstrandum? To start, just as Gandhi began Satyagraha’s system transformation of empowerment a century ago, we urgently need to entrepreneur a learning revolution not just for my child or your child but every worldwide wave of children and their peers sans frontieres. Do we, adults today, measure up to that responsibility or will we become known as terminator generation? We don’t need to argue over nationalities or anything else- all of us will be the terminator generation unless we stop lurking and open up a peer to peer learning revolution, starting one click now http://www.valuetrue.com/home/gallery.cfm
Dear Shamis
Women Muslim Peace Books & Hubs
In telephone conversation with Modjtaba Sadria, European key linksperson of http://collapsingworld.org and http://globalreconciliationnetwork.org, I understand that your amazing book is now out.
If at all possible please leave 2 or 3 inspection copies ar rich mix in Bethnal Green witin next 9 days; you can confirm how to do that with David , Guilhem or Mamading. They have large network meetings assembling to trust map world citizen issues and few can be more important in London than narrowing divides between East and West, and understanding womens views on that.
Incidentally I assume rich mix is in a building owned or frequently patronised by muslims, so maybe they would show a copy around too in their theatre cafe. If starbucks can represent themed books, I cant understand why the biggest muslim cafes in London can't. But then I am always an optimist that we will all wake up cross-culturally.
Do you have a 2 pager that you can send me by email- perhaps I can find some folk to help start a facebook group on women of peace. I think I have previously metioned Kawther in wasim province Iraq to you -her pictures of women hubs in desert tents are an amazing grace
cheers
chris macrae
ps I am not sure how long Mostofa is at Yunus head office in Dhaka but I assume if you mailed a copy there to him, relevant people would it add to their library

Future Diary of peoples weorld's greatest peace meetings:
Delhi (end January 2008) memorial attendance of 60th anniversary of Gandhi's assassination -by invitation only (however we will aim to map friends of this who could not attend - more info info @worldcitizen.tv subject Gandhi60) or facebook on Gandhi http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2465522072
some random stories from history's observers of peoples peace conferences
- our [future] (if there is much of one left) is bound up in the compound mistakes history made - usually mistakes a very 2nd millennial system called [nations] compounded across its borders both on neighbours and its own peoples; why are people still chained primarily by manmade land boundaries given that natuire's waves know no boundaries and nor does the www value [distance]?; in 2004 (2 weeks before the tsunami)peace and indigenous networks and I were in Delhi at the Indira Gandhi National Centre of Arts; our chief guest was the minister for broadcasting and we were listening spellbound to the philosopher [Nandy], who gave us an audit of how many hundreds of millions of its own people 20th C nations had killed; I so wished governors of the [BBC -world service owned by the people for the people] had been there- wasn't Nandy on to inconvenient truth story worth a bit of transparent investigative journalism, by and for? and how about Nandy's big question - do you really think a networked 21st C do better? ... my own guess is probably not unless the www wish of Berners Lee is rediscovered or 50% of the world's leaders become women very fast- but then I am the first to confess I do not understand why people let national governments war on them; I dont know how as a parent ([or teacher]) of a 10 year old to explain how we ([world citizens] across nations) have all lurked over the last 10 years of exponentially accelerating destruction of human sustainability -[do you?]
- many collaboration city events need prolonged network space; open space's minimum for transformation is 3 days (72 hours) and that assumes all the people most deeply connected by a conflict transformation can turn up at the same time! By mapping citizens numbers we can also link world citizen networks
do you have a story?
