| Circle on July 4 Photo from Colorado 2006 (thanks Solace) |
The silent prayer/meditation for world peace is the culmination of our attempts to create a peaceful and harmonious gathering. Starting as the sun rises on the morning of July 4th, the gathering will become silent. As people wake up and get ready for their day, most people respect the silence. As people are so inclined they head to main meadow to pray for world peace, do yoga for world peace, meditate for world peace and all sorts of other mellow and silent manifestations of creating the energy of world peace and the healing of the planet.
We hold this peace in preparation for the arrival of our children. The children's parade (meet at Kid Village or Dirty Kid Village a few hours before noon if you have kids and want them in the parade) will come into the center of the circle. Please hold the silence until all the children (even the ones at the end of the parade) have made it into the center of the circle. Our children our are future and deserve our respect. Oming/Auming can start when most of the children are in the circle. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WIDELY.
At some point before breaking the silence we will om/aum. Not a short 1-2 minute om, but a long drawn out 15 minute or 30 minute om/aum. If we are all focused and om together, not in a hurry to get it down, but to be with it in the moment, we can create energy that will change the world.
Each of us has a crucial role to play in this sacred ceremony that is the core of the Annual Gathering of the Tribes. This is why I and so many people I know go to the gathering, dig shitters, chop wood and carry water. This is why so many people dedicate so much resources and energy to the gathering. Please if you choose not to participate, please be silent and let those who wish to create a sacred ceremony do so.
I was located at Deep Faith and served (Vegan & Doughnuts & Coffee) one day! it Took us all night to be ready for Morning. I Think we served 400 people that day. Including the Rangers on horse back. This year Vegan & Gluten Free Doughnuts & Coffee. I'm not sure where we will be, but I have enough dried goods to feed anyone for to weeks out of a kitchen. My only problem is finding one or two people to pick up all the food and 2 people us; to get there. Find me on (@trggrhppykttns) on line, we are a music group... ( one person Vision Impaired Veteran, second person retired & disabled chef) and I have saved enough for a kitchen for about two weeks, including spices... I just need some help.

DeleteI have often been sad at the state of the world seeing only our destruction being ignored by the greater mass of humanity. I've come up with a solution to fix the problem but I don't think anyone will help. If everyone just quit all the useless industry maintaining only the vital services such as water and food for a whole year and spent that year planting trees and coming together at the same time morning or night and a worldwide song, or maybe even Om/Aum as you put it I think the world would come together and restart the bias here to sustains us all. I know it's only a month but still I think it's a good start.....
