Triangles workers come from many countries and cultures have differing faiths and affiliations, and the lines of light they weave in mental matter between the points of each triangle cross all boundaries. This helps to loosen the mental atmosphere creating the possibility of greater synthesis and helping to overcome the many perceptions of separatism that exist in our world. One such separative attitude, the issue of borders between nations, is being brought to the forefront of humanity’s attention at the moment with the refugee crisis. Refugees, those fleeing from war, suffering and poverty are in the news on a daily basis. Images of starving children, over-crowding in unsuitable camps, disease, poverty and general distress and suffering are etched on our consciousness. While the situation of displaced people has always been a problem it is now a worsening crisis. The number of people forced to flee their homes across the world has exceeded 65.3 million for the first time since the second world war, an exponential rise that is stretching host countries and aid organisations to their limit. 47% of refugees are women and over half the world's refugees are children, many travelling alone or in groups in a desperate quest for sanctuary, and often falling into the clutches of people traffickers.

The theme of the upcoming World Goodwill seminar is “From the Unreal to the Real: Discernment -- Cutting through the Glamour of the Times.” Together we will discuss how through the use of discrimination and discernment, we can move towards a greater understanding and realization of truth in our daily lives.  The use of the word glamour as defined by the Ageless Wisdom refers to a distorted condition within consciousness, a type of fog, that results in an inability to see life and surrounding conditions as they truly are.  Instead all things are seen distorted and misshapen.  In such a state it is easy to be deceived by appearances, and to forget that which the appearance veils. And then, as Foster Bailey used to say, we all see each other through the back half of our own aura.  Occasional progress in freeing oneself from this condition can be made, but it is easy to slip back into the old patterns. Today the situation is compounded by the fact that these individual glamours are being intensified by the overall potency of the collective glamour surrounding humanity as a whole at this time of the ending of the age.

It’s said that humanity has “the habit of crisis”. Throughout its long journey, spanning endless cycles, the human family has progressed from primitive beginnings, little removed from its animal roots, to a relatively advanced civilisation and culture in which the realm of the mind and of ideas are forging a new enlightened era. Nonetheless, crisis shadows humanity.

Through our studies of ancient scriptures we read of distant times when people lived simpler and more harmonious lives, in touch with the currents of the natural world and as a consequence, recognized themselves as part of something much greater. They synchronized their breath within the all-encompassing breath of God and life was lived more as a collective experience.  Myths and legends gave deeper meaning to the seemingly ordinary events of the day and taught lessons that served to deepen the connection with spirit.  

This connection with the underlying current of life is not generally supported by contemporary culture.  The busyness and over-extension which characterizes most people’s lives today often leaves little time or the requisite consciousness to deal with much beyond the daily demands and the continual distractions.  Much of the present world view is defined by a rather concrete minded scientific perspective on reality which denies the subjective reality.  So while science has contributed much to the improvement of our lives and the expansion of our understanding, it has also been responsible for the narrowing of our vision, causing us to lose much that previously had given meaning to our lives.  Without a sense of connection with life’s larger rhythms, we separate off and seek artificial means of generating that connection, substituting the unreal for the Real.

I work in the field of restorative justice.  Restorative Justice is an aspect of Restorative Practices, which at its heart is a social science based in right human relationships.  Along a continuum exists a range of strategies and practices which are aimed at building and fostering healthy respectful relationships and responding to and repairing where possible relationships when conflict and harmful behaviour occurs. These practices are deeply connected to the field of peacebuilding.
