I made a conceptual error in my previous piece, below. I used the term
"peace Revolution" which is incorrect. Let me explain why.

The 60s saw a Peace movement, which was actually more of an ANTI-war
movement. It failed because of two reasons:

1) its slogan was

MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR

conceptually this is inaccurate because you cannot "MAKE" love, as in
manufacture it. LOVE comes from God, you merely "SHARE" God's Infinite
Love with those you interact with.

2) The anti-war movement was a "REVOLUTION," an anti-thesis to WAR.
Well, that's a not-starter as PEACE is a quiet, humbling, inner
tranquility. Those who feel peaceful, who have inner peace have a
sense of like their little smoking white, translucent (pearl?) sphere
of a soul is swimming in the green Sea of Tranquility. At least that's
the visualization I see. You may have a different visual perception.
Depends in the way your retina is configured, I suppose. Or is it the
capillaries of your inner eyelids? Or may be it has something to do
with the pineal gland? Somethings I still don't WRITHINKLE even at the
cognitive level and can't still intuit this mind phenomenon. But I
disgress.

Back to business at hand, If you are in an ANTI-something state of
mind phenomenon, you canNOT be an peace. You probably have some anger
or fervour or fanaticism (as in Hamzah Fansuri of Acheh and all that ~
read Syed Naguib Al-Attas's PhD thesis at McGill ~ THE FANATICISM OF
HAMZAH FANSURI) or whatever.

So, I hallucinate that Civilization is at the brink of a Golden
Opportunity. We need to possess COURAGE (as in Hemingway's Grace Under
Pressure in ^Death in the Afternoon^) grasp the bull (I'm liking this
matador metaphor) by the horns, seize the day (carpe diem) and embrace
this PEACE EVOLUTION.

Why COURAGE? Because being at PEACE makes us VULNERABLE. When our
*enemies* (I know it presumes a paranoid national psyche as in the
Yehudi Chosen Few whose raison detre appears to be PERSECUTION).

We need to have a critical mass of people in the world who are at
PEACE inside themselves. People who have LOVE in their hearts. With
every breath we take, every beat of the heart, every drop of blood
pumped into the aorta, every oxy-haemoglobin molecule coursing through
our tiniest capillaries, for the PEACE EVOLUTION to precipitate a new
era of civilization. I have a utopian vision of this which I shall
share later.... but the

GOOD NEWS
is that we already have that critical mass of PEOPLE at peace with
themselves in their hearts. The only thing is, they may not realise
it. They may individually, or in small groups, but not as a collective
conscience.

These budding PEACEmakers are called...

now get this:

MUSLIMS!

Every time a Muslim whispers BISMILLAH... in his or her heart, a soul
is at peace with itself, in relation to the body which is its vehicle.
Well, for some, you have to baca the whole Al-Fatihah to get into this
mind state. For others. the Surat Yasin. Others still, feel they have
to memorise the whole of the Quran.

The point is, Islam is about PEACE - that's what SALAM is, btw, in
case you haven't heard.

PEACE is that state of mind in which FEAR of any kind is unknown. But
JOY is a positive thing ~ in JOY, something goes out of oneself into
the UNIVERSE, a warm, possessive affluence of LOVE. There may be PEACE
without JOY, or JOY without PEACE, but the two combined, make
HAPPINESS.

Those who need a deeper cognitive understanding of this, before they
can take that intellectual LEAP OF FAITH, can read COGNITIVE THERAPY
by David Burns.

Once we declare UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT, that is, more accurately,
SURRENDER TO PEACE (old hat in new clothes, to mix metaphors), and
LOVE our enemies (as in the way Nabi Isa had shown), the WORLD will
change...

Okay, you now probably ready to read my VISION of UTOPIA.

see next post.

PS the Australians would probably say its BLOODY BAGUS!

NB Also, Malaysia is also a non-starter. I tell you why:
First mal- as a prefix already NEGATES whatever follows. PANASIA would
probably be a better bet. Malaria, Malaise are the common negative
associationships associated with Malaysia.

Let's check out PANASIA

PANASIA
ANASIAP
NASIAPA
ASIAPAN
SIAPANA
IAPANAS
APANASI

Not that great either as I see a lack of sense of self or identity, if
you like as in ANA SIAPA? I also see PANAS which connotes to war and
other *HEATY* things.

SIAP is good as it connotes a readiness.

APA NASI boggles the mind though! maybe it denotes a poverty, a famine
a bankrupt integrity. Like, whatever...
