<p><strong>Michael Road's MUSINGS:</strong></p>
<p><span>I love it when I see a headline like the one below. Just when you get the impression from the general media that humanity has completely lost the plot, you read a story like this. I would like to reiterate that we are living in times that will determine your future direction in life more than any previous lifetime we have lived in. We are involved in a huge human polarisation event. If your life is one of fear, anger, reaction and retaliation, your future</span> <span class="text_exposed_show">will hold many challenges for you. Of course, if you are fully that type of person it is highly unlikely that you are reading this. I am sharing a Truth in timing. If you are learning to be more responsive in life, and choosing how you respond, your future will honour your current life. To define the difference: Love responds in the moment, while fear reacts from the past. As I have said many times, the art of life is to be conscious of the way you live, of the way you think, of the way you act. To be conscious and aware . . . not so very difficult. We need to leave behind the old subconscious reactions, the old boxes, the old sameness, and live from the newness of the moment. So cheers to all the people who are queuing in the rain to help another person who is a complete stranger to them. Life will bless them.<br/>To me, this is a classic example of people who may not be spiritually aware, but who nonetheless know how to CONSCIOUSLY . . . choose Love!</span></p> TAKE ACTION FOR TIBETtag:peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com,2012-09-05:5143044:Topic:1832482012-09-05T12:12:55.594ZMary Stuarthttps://peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com/profile/MaryStuart

<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">Dear Friends,</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">Last week the number of Tibetans in Tibet who have immolated themselves has surpassed 50; that's 51 individuals who have set themselves on fire as an act of protest against China's brutal and systematic assault on the Tibetan people's freedom.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">T</span><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">oday, on 5th September, Tibet advocates around the world are meeting Foreign Ministries face-to-face, to press our governments to come together in strong, visible, coordinated, multi-lateral diplomatic action that will compel China to revoke its deeply flawed Tibet policies.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">You can strengthen the efforts of those Tibet campaigners pushing our governments to Stand Up For Tibet. Please <strong>send an urgent message to world leaders supporting the call to initiate multilateral action; action that we believe is our best chance of holding China accountable for its atrocities in Tibet.</strong></span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-4">As China’s once-a-decade leadership change looms and all eyes are on Beijing, we have an opportunity to ensure that Tibet shares this spotlight - to highlight the oppression inflicted by China's leaders and support Tibetans in their drive to free themselves from China’s rule. <strong>Sign and share the urgent action with everyone you know and help Tibetans gain the freedom they deserve.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3">Joining the Dalai Lama in Austria will be the leader of the Tibetan Government in Exile, Lobsang Sangay, and many well-known human rights advocates.

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3">Pressure on our governments to Stand Together for Tibet is building, and we need to ensure that our leaders hear our call loud and clear, and publicly commit their support at this critical time.</span></p>

Most immediately, we call on China to withdraw its security forces from Ngaba and across Tibet now, and stop the ongoing harassment and torture of monks.<br/><br/>By signing this statement, I support global diplomatic intervention for Tibet<br/>and I pledge to stand up for Tibetans who have the right to live in peace and freedom like every other human being. <br/><br/>Let our roar of support echo across Tibet and finally be heard by Chinese<br/>leaders in Beijing.</i></span></p>
