The Global Peace Centre aims to contribute towards the next great global step acknowledging the common ground of humanity and its connectedness with all of life.

The Global Peace Centre aims are:

• To give people hope for a sustainable and positive future.
• To mentor our young people
• To explain there is a common ground and that faith and truth matter and that science is not the only raison d’être in the world
• To understand the power of the mind to create its own reality
• To understand that there is a truth within the depths of ourselves which is congruent and which joins us in a way which expresses our diverse but unified humanity

Buddha, God, Jesus Christ have all expressed this way of thinking and being.

Vacklav Havel, President of Czechoslovakia has said “if humanity is to survive, we need a massive change in consciousness”

The Global Peace Centre espouses

1. The need for information and education to be widely promulgated so that people are aware of, and understand the critical nature of the planet.
   1. The irreversible destruction of living and non living resources
   2. Pollution
   3. Climate Change
   4. Overpopulation
   5. Inequity and poverty, and to see these all as interlinked
2. That we need to realize that the problem lies in the essential nature of the Human Being and to redefine illness and wellness as based primarily on our fundamental orientation to the living universe.
3. The fundamental orientation of the sciences must be to enhance the role of consciousness and to understand that any experiment is influenced by the intention and expectation of the researcher.Also Science objectifies phenomenal reality not realizing we are always part of the process and the experiment. Over differentiation and reductionism has led to over specialization so that the total all inclusive picture is not seen. Science needs to become humanized!
4. The role of the Arts as paramount to promote the finest qualities of the Human SpiritWe suggest the only way to implement change is to create a living community which expresses the new human being who expresses environmental and energy conservation, new forms of energy production (solar) organic, perma-culture, horticulture, in an independent self -regulating autonomous communal environment.

   The underground nexus of change, or formation of critical mass is what The centre For change aims to cultivate. It is this Critical Mass which will be the catalyst for creating a better and more sustainable World..

Changing to a peaceful planet

To change to a peaceful Planet we need to think and act and talk peace and seek for the most innovative of solutions and network hope and constructive innovation bringing together all peoples of Good Will throughout the World. . It is the perturbation in the system which creates the emergence of new properties and the realization for change within the critical Mass of people will be the catalyst to bring about a Peaceful and Sustainable World.

The major problem of our civilization is based on power exploitation, inequity and accumulation of wealth, win/lose situation, and survival of the fittest. Economic theory adds to the problem assuming infinite resources. In fact there is irreversible loss of living and non-living resources. Accumulation of capital is infinite and the financial system is geared to invent money which is not based on material resources due to usury and the logarithmic accumulation of debt based on interest rates. The assumption, particularly of infinite supply of fossil fuels, is ill founded; they have now reached a peak.

Adding to this, people have no idea of cause and effect. We do not take in to account our psychology and the way we deal with ourselves when it comes to conflict resolution or technology. We seem to have no conscience when we exploit the Earth or the third world. Economics treats people as numbers; and science so objectifies processes and systems, that we lose our humanity and hide it under the title of religious belief or dogma.

We need to re- valuate what it means to be human and how our actions, thoughts and emotions affect those around us. We need to take responsibility for our health, our planet and ourselves. This means being informed as to what is going on. We need to question the prevailing order.

We are in the absolute sense continuing to make wrong and bad causes instead of realizing what should be the true nature of the Human being and their inseparable relationship between life and all phenomena. We have not enough respect for life -nor do we value life itself, our environmental resources or ourselves.

The Western cult of individuation is destroying community, especially in a Globalised world. We should realize that bad or life negating actions cause our collective communities to rebound on us.

Thus the loss of resources, the green house effect, climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity and imbalance of living systems on the planet have no respect for regional and geographic barriers. Similarly inhumanity breeds inhumanity like a raging forest fire-just as fascism breeds fascism. While Governments continue to hold territoriality and economic wealth as paramount we lose the sight of human beings and their real needs which need to be defined more closely. Needs are biological and also of the spirit.

The BASIC problem is after all the nature of the Human Being and their predisposition to animalism, hunger, power needs, domination, anger, fear and the biological drives for territory, sex, possession and survival!!! We need to reevaluate the nature of the Human Being and whether it is possible not only to redefine this nature but, actualize the change so we create within ourselves a New Kind of Human Being

We are responsible for the causes we create in our lives in terms of thinking, feeling and acting. Human beings create their own destiny through the law of cause and effect. If we want to see ourselves now –look at the numerous causes we have created in the past. If we want to see our future look at the causes we are creating now!

In Medicine the causation of illness or wellness is dependent on constitution, triggers, antecedents and mediators. What this means is we start with an essential Blueprint of what we are and then internal and external causes create our current existential situation. Some people are weighted karmically with certain genetic problems-others are in environments which bring out a certain genetic tendency. The internal causes are basically our interpretation of what goes on, and in this respect we have control. Through the use of meditation, chanting, creative visualisation, affirmations, focused dreams, consciousness raising, biofeedback, yoga, prayer, analysis of dreams and myths, intention, expectation, healing, compassion, contemplation, search for truth and beauty etc., etc. Internal causes are the way our immune, and endocrine systems react to triggers. Their reactivity is inextricably tied up with the nervous system. We have control of our nervous system as proven by mind body medicine. Therefore our dreams and interpretations and visions of a Better World can occur if we can break the spiral or circle of cause and effect.

Myths are what motivate and impel a society in the deeper levels of consciousness. They are equivalent to the archetypes of Jung and are collective. In the deeper strata of consciousness they are karmic patterns which resonate in the noosphere.

We need to create new myths which express the life giving and positive aspects of humankind
New Values and Myths are the basis of change in our society. Imposed values, such as legal structures defining Societal norms or religious values such as the ten commandments, are not the same as values which come from the integral innate nature of the Human Heart – Values which are based on altruism and provision for the common good.

The most insidious aspect of the western capitalist economy is that money is created by the banks as debt to be repaid with interest, instead of being created by governments and spent into the economy through public services or a basic income, free of debt. The creation of money as debt forces the economy to grow, necessitating a never-ending expansion of markets and wasteful economic activity. It is this which is bringing the planet to the point of irreversible climate cascade and the loss of life-support, or nuclear war in the even nearer future. This debt-based, cancerous capitalist system encourages and feeds on those lower aspects of human nature which must now be overcome.
