A Spoken Affirmation/Prayer to ask that someone’s heart be healed or that a War be Ended

I will ask for all people in this place where this war is that their hearts be healed and that they find peace together in the most benevolent and beneficial way for them.

Or:

I will ask that (name)’s heart be healed and that we find peace
together in the most benevolent and beneficial way for us.

(Then you let it go and go on. You have said what you can do. You have
joined for that moment with, and acknowledged, and asked Universe for what
you want. Do not feel guilty for having things that others don’t).

Note:

    To pray that your side is victorious in a war assumes harm to the other "side". If you pray that someone be cured of cancer you are also praying that the cancerous cells die.
    Therefore, when seeking that a war be ended it is important to ask the Universe that the parties find peace "in the most benevolent and beneficial way for them, and that their hearts be healed".
    Realize in your relationships that when you have harmful or resentful thoughts about another person you are also harming them--- just as positive prayers have a positive effect, the opposite is also true.
    Even more important is that the negative thoughts and prayers will ultimately harm the pray-er more than the "victim" of such prayer. Those thoughts and negative desires are reflected back upon that person, and backfire.

MID-EAST REPORT

Hello everyone, this is Barbara Wolf.            http://www.globalmeditations.com

I have just returned from the Middle East and here is my report to you.

My last night in the Middle East, when I was staying with Hagit Ra’anan
near Tel Aviv, the phone rang and the director of the Askar Refugee Camp
in the West Bank said, "Please ask Barbara to tell the world that we are
here and that we invite the world to come to us. We cannot come to the
world and so we ask that the world comes to us with its cultural
exchanges in all fields, be it health, art, or whatever. All are
welcome."

I visited Askar Camp and other camps in the West Bank with Hagit, and
I tasted the hospitality of the people, and, yes, I assure you that the
world will be gratefully welcomed.

What is a West Bank refugee camp?

I expected rows and rows of tents.
No. No tents.

The camps today look like towns or cities, a tight complex of drab
apartment houses. To the untrained eye, there is nothing to indicate
that they are refugee camps.

It is my understanding that the United Nations, which once provided
medical, school, and other facilities, has largely pulled out, and so
today many facilities are either lacking or are provided by
non-government organizations. I am not an expert on this subject.

Who are the refugees?
Those who fifty years ago fled their homes located in the area now
called Israel. They, their children, their children’s children live in
the camps that were set up for them.

They are stateless.

The Palestinians who live in the area of their camps on the West Bank
do not consider these people to be Palestinians, even though the
majority of these refugees have been born in the West Bank.

The refugees are ‘caught between the cracks’.
-----------
Hagit has taken me to three camps on the West Bank.
At the first camp, Jenin camp, I learn there are actually two camps,
the old one and the new one. Both look the same. An outsider would
not know the difference between them, except there is a road,
approximately one kilometer long, separating and joining them.

The old Jenin camp has a school for all the children. The children of
the new camp walk to school via the road between the two camps. They
contend with the cars and everything else on that road. Some are killed.

Hagit has suggested that volunteers go to Jerusalem to be trained in
road safety for the children. This would seem easy enough to set up,
but it is not easy. Camp volunteers need passes in order to cross zones
before reaching Jerusalem. For clarity’s sake, let us say that Jenin
camp is in Zone A. In order to go to Jerusalem, one must pass through
Zone C and then Zone B. Each zone has its requirements. For example,
Zone C may be controlled by Israeli authorities, and Zone B may be
controlled by Palestinian authorities. And so, in order for a refugee
to go from Jenin Camp to Jerusalem, he needs passes to fit the
requirements of the zones he will pass through.

As an aside, and to show the complexity of the situation, what amazed
me was how the camp people talked about Israel in terms of an
inaccessible country, such as a country thousands of miles away
instead of five or ten miles away.

When I went to Gaza for a ceremony of a peace pole, I learned that some
West Bank Palestinians I shared a bus with had never before seen the
Mediterranean Sea, a two-hour drive from their homes. Until Hagit
arranged for permits for them to come to Gaza for the peace pole
ceremony, they had never had permits.

At this moment, for the first time ever, a road is being designated as
a passageway through Israel between the West Bank and Gaza which will
enable Palestinians to travel cross Israel without a special permit.

You see the complexity of the situation in the Middle East?
Barriers. Permits. Papers.

As for the road between the new and old Jenin Camps, which the new camp
children use to reach their school, can anyone suggest a solution to
this problem? If so, contact Hagit. I will put her email address
at the bottom of this report.

Does anyone want to take up my stop-gap suggestion?
Each child carries a tall stick with a colorful flag at the top.
Surely this would warn the drivers to take care.

And yet there is need to teach the children road safety. In the camps
there are no sidewalks, and so when the children leave their homes,
they are immediately in the streets contending with traffic. I have
seen a two-year old child run out of his house and into the street
without thinking about cars. For him, cars are a natural part of his
scenery. When he runs out of his house, he is among them.

At Askar Camp (with a population of thousands), I learn there is no
clinic. If someone becomes ill at night, his illness must wait until
morning. There is a hospital four kilometers away for anyone who can
get there. In general, refugees don’t have cars.

I wonder what help is given to women who go into labor in the early
hours of the morning.

At Askar Camp, I talked with a doctor who trained nine years in Moscow.
He wants to specialize in research of children’s diseases, but there is
no opportunity where he lives. If he is to train, he will need to go
somewhere else, such as to Canada. If anyone has ideas about how he can
continue his training, please contact Hagit. By the way, the status of
this fine, intelligent man is stateless, refugee.

One takes for granted that one will have the nationality and papers of
the land of one’s birth. Well, I now realize that some people can be
born and live in a land and have no nationality or papers!

At Askar Camp, there is a Women’s Center, as well as a place with new
computers.The children need computer training.

In Gaza, I visited a Red Crescent rehabilitation center giving people
with disabilities an opportunity to learn how to make handicrafts that
can be sold. The director says that 5,000 out of 100,000 people in
Gaza are handicapped, a huge portion of the population. There is need
for help with the blind, the deaf, those who have lost limbs.
Anyone interested in helping, contact Hagit.

Who is Hagit? A knight in shining armor. She walks among those in
need and answers their calls in whatever way she can. She works for
no organization. She uses her own resources to help all, be that person
a child with medical problems or someone in need of a permit to visit a
friend or relative in another zone. That is Hagit.

If you want to help, contact her.
And, remember, world, the director of Askar Camp has asked me to tell
you to visit. The door is wide open.

Peace, love, and Light,
Barbara Wolf

PEACE CONFERENCE IN HUNGARY

Cross-Cultural Communication for Peace
22-23-24th July 1999 Felsotárkány Hungary
QUOTES BORNE OUT OF THE CONFERENCE.

"I have found that if I truly meet people whom I considered to be my enemies, it turns our how similar we really are. Similar things make us glad and similar things hurt us. If we can meet like that, there is no more anger or fear, only self-recognition." I would like to recognise myself in that way in as many people as possible, because I would like to live in a world where we can meet through our similarities and attract each other through our differences." Ria Miklósfalvi

"I would like to take another step on the path towards my inner peace, one
of whose most important conditions is that I do everything within my power for
external peace as well." József Telkes

"I am here to make peace with my external and internal enemies." József
Parádi

"I shall come so that we may discover our differences, to go beyond them in
wonder at each other, and to find that which connects us with each other and with
ourselves."
Melinda Kassai

"I would like to relive the experience when, in the appropriate atmosphere, people of very different backgrounds, values and cultures can express the feelings and thoughts hidden within them, and thereby come closer to each other as well as to understanding themselves." Dr. Sándor Klein
