Is is truly possible to create world peace in an ego driven materialistic civilization? With all the news we hear on the web, radio and t.v., we are led to think and believe the world is headed towards dooms day or chaos. The problem is that much or what we hear and see are filtered information. We are given information that is packaged in a way that promotes propaganda, headlines or financial gains from stories that sell; generally they are stories that provokes anger, fear or anxiety. Hence, much of the news is carefully edited and sculpted in a way that creates sensationalization because it sells. Such is the by-product of an ego perpetuated civilization. If this were all there was, then life would be quite bleak and hopeless. However, many good things are happening around the world that escapes the radar and attention of the media and networks.
I have traveled around the world and have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful and the Divine. Despite what manufactured news we hear that result in our civilization in being more divisive, negative and egocentric, many good things are happening all around the world and many beautiful and kind people and groups do exist. I have been very fortunate and blessed to have met some of the most beautiful and Divine people on the planet from all walks of life from all around the world from the sacred and mystical Mt. Shasta, to the Ashram of Amma, the famous and Divine Hugging Saint, and to the sacred Fuji Sanctuary. I have met mystics, spiritual masters, gurus, swamis, healers, Catholic Priests, a Monsignor, Christian Pastors and spiritual teachers who are helping to pave a way for greater peace and harmony in our planet in their own unique way. Many religious groups are helping to provide food, clothing and shelter for the poor and oppressed in the world. Amma has built hospitals, schools,and housing for the poor. The Sikhs welcome all to come to their temple for a free meal and some temples offer people a place to stay and rest. These are just the few of the good things that are happening around the world.
Despite all the amazing and incredible groups out there, one group stood out for me the most in terms of sharing my vision for world peace. Each year a group convenes at the foothill of Mt. Fuji at the sacred Fuji Sanctuary in May 13th, 2017. This group is comprised of dignitaries and spiritual leaders from around the world. They are invited by Masami Saionji to attend this global prayer event called S.O.P.P. ( Symphony of Peace Prayers). While this event is taking place in Japan, simultaneously, groups convene globally to pray for peace for each and every country. Each spiritual leader or individual who is invited to this event is given the opportunity to say a prayer from their own religion or practice. The group then repeats that prayer; thereafter, the group all pray for peace to each country and finally a prayer for peace on Earth is said. It is a very beautiful event especially at the Fuji Sanctuary. I have been fortunate to be joining the S.O.P.P. event in the Bay Area for my four year in a row. It is a very beautiful spiritual event that promotes unity, respect and global peace. I pray for the world daily but attending the S.O.P.P. event allows me to be a part of that global prayer event that generates an incredible amount of positive prayer energy to help bring greater peace and balance in the world. It is scientifically proven that prayers can make an impact on someone even thousands of miles away. I have helped many people through the power of prayer and I know that it works; however, when people are gathered together at sacred places like the Fuji Sanctuary and elsewhere, amazing and powerful transformation takes place.
The Saionji family have orchestrated such a well-thought out plan to help foster our planet in achieving greater peace, harmony and unity. Not only do they work at a global level, they also work on it on a personal level by teaching members about how to pray, meditate and connect with the Universe or Source. The work that they do helps the individual realize the Divinity that exist within themselves and all of reality.
The family is also involved with the Peace Pole project where a Peace Pole is placed throughout the world in sacred places from Giza of Egypt to the Mystical town of Mount Shasta. What are written on the the Poles are the words May Peace Prayer on Earth in various languages.
Masami Saionji is a Divine woman of greatness who is the direct descendant of the Ryukku Royal Family of Okinawa. Despite her royal lineage and academic achievements, she is quite humble and full of love, light and compassion. She is a noble, ambitious and visionary woman that has all the attributes to help our planet to succeed in achieving greater peace and harmony. She is spiritual, intelligent, resourceful and very diplomatic. I have not had the pleasure to meet her yet but hopefully, one Divine day. I, however, was fortunate to meet her three beautiful daughters during my last trip to Japan. They have true beauty which radiates from within their beautiful and Divine Souls on outwards. They share their mother’s vision for world peace and each bring their unique skills, knowledge and expertise to impact our planet in a positive and beneficial way. Together this family is working hard on innovative ways to make a tangible impact on our planet in helping it become a much more enlightened civilization.
I pray that the Universe will allow me to continue to work with this group in bringing people together from all walks of life. My vision and dream is to be a bridge in bringing together mystics, spiritual teachers, spiritual masters, and religious leaders to work on world peace. My vision is that spiritual people from sacred sites and mountains can all be a part of the prayer event. Prayers from special and sacred places can be even more powerful.
If you are interested in adding spiritual fuel to this amazing global prayer event, I highly recommend you to get involved with S.O.P.P.. Remember, spirituality is not about living in isolation in your own spiritual world but it is about being a part of the collective consciousness and energy of change. True spirituality is about oneness, unity and harmony with all of humanity, Mother Earth, Nature and God. We are all part of each other and exist as one Divine Family, one Divine Mind and one Divine Consciousness.

May Peace Prayer on Earth!!

Blake, I do agree with you-that all we see is negative in the media-there are not enough positive events posted in the media-and there is so much positive in the world! I do whatever I can to bring positive into the world-even if it is complimenting a stranger-or praying silently for someone I do not know. On Facebook I post a positive note whenever I can-as much positive as I can. I enjoy doing this-in turn it makes me smile. I enjoy all of your blogs-thank you for your deep thoughts. May God Bless you and your family 🙂
