We are just beginning to develop this new approach to developing collective resonance. We expect to gather up all the principles and practices followed by people everywhere, that tend to support or develop better connections between people.
We see this "portal" as a kind of gateway process, through which potentially millions of people could enter, joining an agreement of trust and understanding and spiritual acceleration, that can lead to a transformation of culture.
This process of agreement and shared understanding is just beginning, and will continue to unfold here. Please check off the principles and practices you can agree with.
The cultivation of a quiet mind is the most effective antidote to chaos.
A moment of stillness is a universal corrective, bringing all conditions of disharmony into immediate alignment with the peace of God. While manifestations of chaos may take time to flush out of the material realm, the introduction of stillness automatically interrupts the trajectory of chaos.
In meditation our only task is to "be still and know." As we simply sit in silence, knowing that God's love embraces all living things, divine harmony becomes an operative principle in the world around us.
The deeper the stillness the deeper the level of sharing.
2. ENVISIONING AS AN ACT OF POWER
In the material realm, power is determined by material wealth; in the spiritual realm, power is determined by spiritual wealth.
In the 21st Century, wealth will be determined by consciousness and imagination. Whoever has the tools of consciousness will wield the greatest power on earth. In this sense, we will begin at last to experience the infinite abundance -equally attainable by all - which is our spiritual inheritance as human beings.
The New Activist does not ignore the powers of the material realm, but rather recognizes their value in helping to shape a better world. We seek to integrate the power of the world with the power of spirit, thus achieving a truly holistic sense of self. With the heart in charge, the intellect is not marginalized but uplifted to its highest potential.
Living in the modern world, it is a shift in thinking to withdraw our attachment to belief in the exclusive authority of external powers. From money, to busine
" Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." - Pierre Theilhard de Chardin
At the dawn of the 21st Century, we cast our eyes upon the horizon of a new day in human affairs. While civilization has achieved the most stunning advances in science, technology and other external pursuits, our internal and spiritual progress lags far behind. We have landed a man on the moon and begun to decode the human genome, but we have not yet learned how to build a deep and lasting peace among the peoples of the world.
At the Global Renaissance Alliance, it is our belief that the deepest yearning of the human heart is to love and be loved. The next step in humanity's evolutionary progress is to most fully actualize the love we feel within us, for as we ourselves are healed of fear-based mental patterns, we automatically become conduits for the healing of the entire world. Our Peace Circles are a means for anyone to make a more meaningful stand for love's power to heal the world.
Peace Circles are a simple template for "spiritual activism," and the "Principles of a New Activism" express their philosophical foundation. Together, the Peace Circles and "Principles of a New Activism" form a practical contribution to the effort to invoke a spiritual renaissance in the world today.

This project is brand-new and in progress. Everything is taking shape at the same time, everything is changing and growing.
