Dear Ones,

This is the most powerful and significant time for us to join hands and hearts around the world.

Today is the International Day of Peace through the United Nations and is being honored around the world.

There are 1500 supporting organizations in over 160 nations. Over 600 events are posted on http://www.internationaldayofpeace.org/ (http://www.peaceoneday.org ).

The peace movement in the United States is using this time to bring their message out to the public. (More than 400 organizations and groups -- many of them members of United For Peace and Justice -- have endorsed and are part of this campaign. http://www.declarationofpeace.org www.unitedforpeace.org )

It is important that we pray peace and be the peace we want. When we pray for peace we are focusing on the absence of peace now and perpetuate that, with peace always being in the future. When we are against war, we energize what we are against and begin to resonate at that same level. If we make peace our destination it will always be in our future. Peace is the path, and we embody it in the present.

We are further blessed by the energy of balance brought to us by the Fall equinox today.

We get to take this wonderful global energy of balance and peace into the New Year with Rosh Hashana beginning tomorrow evening with the new moon of Tishre. This new moon is also the beginning of Ramadan, making this a sacred month for both Jews and Muslims around the world. As we are being brought together in time, may we take this opportunity to gather together in interfaith events to celebrate our common humanity and bring our hearts together in reconciliation and love. As we gather in prayer globally, we have the opportunity transform the path we walk in the new year.

May we and All That Is be abundantly blessed as we join hands across the world.

Blessings, Love & Light,

AriellaShira
