a) How are we going to claim our freedom back without any more bloodshed?
b) Is it possible?
c) And if so, what are the directions needed to achieve this monumental task?

Mat the monk, my Mom the might and myself the motivator shared a great idea, which became our vision and hopefully by the time we send this email around the world, it will translate into a mission with passion.

What is the mission?
Could all of you imagine the whole world stood still for 2 minutes (2 is the number that represents harmony) and silently and prayed for world peace and harmony on the coming date 20.02 2002 at time 20:02 p.m.

Why this date is so special?
Because this is a very special moment that will see the date, month, year and time align perfectly. This is a unique opportunity afforded to us by time itself. Made all the more prescient by the world changing events of September 11th 2001, this fulcrum point in time 20.02 2002 20:02 is an opportunity for us all to try to reclaim the balance and harmony in our lives. “World Harmony Day”.

In the midst of turmoil related to the September 11th 2001 attacks, and the on going war in Afghanistan, we feel a loss of freedom and a sense of fear in our lives. The terrorist attacks and the war has only compounded the feeling that forces much greater, and outside of our individual control, may someday mercilessly destroy our lives and our search for peace, love and happiness.

Have we not heard of these sayings "Fight fire with Fire and you will end up with ashes" and "An eye for an eye will makes the world go blind?" Is that what we really want for our world and the future world for our children’s children? The fight for humanity, if carried out with more bloodshed, explosives or worst still, weapons of mass destruction, will save not only to take away the lives of both guilty and innocent, it will also leave more wounds and scars in the environment, for our children and their children.

Within each individual, as well as within a group of individuals lie the polar natures of vengeance and peace. Let us seek a balance between them. For as long as we have exercised aggression, let us exercise empathy and compassion. In order to achieve this harmony it will be wise to imbue the eastern philosophy of balancing the Yang force with the Yin spirit.

We wish to propose for a world wide coordinated period of silent prayer and reflection on 20.02 2002 20:02 pm. This gathering is a positive and peaceful conscious and is very necessary for all our souls to be at peace. The specific ritual may vary from place and cultural preference, but the main intention is to organize a collective, worldwide effort to calm us and create awareness of positive and peaceful conscious. We can call this "World Harmony Day" because this is exactly what we are praying for. Imagine the media following the events from country to country like they did during our Millennium celebrations from 20:02pm and ending at 2004 GMT.

All of us must get together and use our collective free will to heal the wounds of the world. We need to contact people in the media in our governments and schools, religious groups and get together for united prayer for peace and harmony. We have to foster a better world not just for ourselves but more importantly for our future generations. It is unfair for them to suffer the heavy repercussions of our actions.
