As we celebrate the upcoming holidays a message of "Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Man" is echoed by people of varying faiths from around the world. If we all wish for that, why have we not created it? We have only to look into our own lives and ask ourselves "am I at peace right now?" We can create a more peaceful world through the collective efforts of individuals creating peace in their own world. Here are three simple things you can do to create more peace in your life.nn(1) The single most powerful thing anyone can do to create more peace in their own lives is to consciously decide to create more peace in their lives. Hold the intention to create more peace, so your mind has some direction and guidance. Left unchecked, your mind will create even more stress, more activities, more justifications and rationalizations for thinking and doing things that create stress and discord in your life. You have to value peace and commit to create it in order to create it.nn(2) Meditate. Throughout the history of civilization, in all the major cultures and religions throughout the world, people have found some form of meditation to find greater clarity, happiness and peace...it's time tested and proven effective. Even though it is now universally recognized that meditation helps you find peace, most people don't make the effort. Meditation is easy, effortless and enjoyable when you learn the right methods. Come take the free class and see for yourself. Come again if you'd tried it before, the reinforcement can only help.nn(3) Forgive. Peace is your natural state. If you are not feeling peace it is because you are focusing on something going on in your head. Some of the greatest causes of mental agitation are anger, resentment, and a resistance to letting go of something that has bothered you. If you are feeling anger, just let it go. If you are feeling resentment, just let it go. If you are resistant to letting it go, let that go. Just let go. Open your heart and peace will reign. When we all forgive, when we all let our anger and resentment go, we can all live together in happiness and peace. It begins with you.
From the heart, Steven S. Sadleir

Cooperative Games for Children
Janet and I decided play a little tennis recently to get a cardio workout. The last time we played was almost 30 years ago when we first met, so we knew the fundamentals but were, to say the least, a bit rusty! At 56 and 66 respectively, Janet and I aren't exactly Serena Williams and Roger ...

From Children of God to ”Dear Children” or How to Grow in Faith
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children” (Ephesians 5:1). Everyone is a child of God, for God is the Source of all. Everyone is beloved to God. So what are dear children? I learned the answer to that from the mouth of a barely educated old lady in the summer of 1958. I was at a church meeting in a tiny, very poor little town in a corner of Oklahoma. During the Sunday School class this verse from Saint Paul was read, and the teacher asked an elderly lady if she would not explain it.

Distinguishing View and Viewpoints in Dzogchen
The development of view is central to Dzogchen meditation. Therefore, a point of clarification necessary to understand Dzogchen is this. View and viewpoints, while somewhat related, are not exactly the same. What do I mean by that? First of all, a viewpoint (or point of view) generally has its basis in some school of thought or system of belief, although not necessarily a formalized system of belief.
