Sabine Lichtenfels - Spiritual Work

To all Peaceworkers,

On May 1st in 2006, the Tamera Aula was dedicated to mark the beginning of a three-year community experiment. Tamera celebrated the end of this "Monte Cerro" experiment for a few days last week. It was very touching to see how the people had grown and changed during this time and to hear the moving closing statements, both from students and coworkers. It was unanimously agreed that apart from the study of questions pertaining to ecology, technology and social structures, it was a community experience.

How deeply can people know each other if one leaves behind all private comfort for three years with the firm decision to create transparency and truth among each other. What happens if, for once, one is ready to share the most personal questions and inner turbulences with others? I believe that each one of the participants made the experience of relief that "my problem is not a private problem," as well as "if I truly solve my problem, I solve it as a representative for many others."

I thank all those who have participated. I thank all those who have supported and still support us from afar. Much has been accomplished and moved during these three years; a foundation has been created from which more students and generations after us will profit. The next step toward a global community undertaking will now happen, however it will be called. May Tamera continue to grow to become an international oasis for committed peace workers worldwide.

The text of empowerment we have chosen is from a text out of Band 4 E, Study Series, Ring of Power, Sabine Lichtenfels. May it be an inspiration to all those who work and research global peace issues.

Text of Empowerment:

(Excerpt from the Text: “Monte Cerro, a three year experiment …”, Sabine Lichtenfels)

…

The question of peace is not a private matter. We can meditate oh so perfectly, develop so well thought-out, sustainable, technologically highly complex systems. As long as people do not focus new forms of co-habitation, as long as no functioning social structures are developed in which we can live peacefully, there will be no peace on earth. From this global view arises the absolute necessity to develop community forms in which all participants can make the original experience of trust, truth and integration in nature on a new level.

Dieter Duhm writes about this in his book “The Sacred Matrix”: “All this can only succeed in the long run on the basis of a humanely working, steady community. We cannot realise the best goals if we are not able to found working survivable communities. Ecological humanism needs a new social structure. A new culture arises from the reconnection with the divine laws of life and universe. There are for sure many ways to that goal but maybe there is only one key to open the gate: the rediscovered trust.”
