LIVING A RADICAL PEACE
One premise of this new book is that peace is misunderstood. In the poetic prose of it's short seven chapters, readers will be introduced to peace as a potent energy of creation, even as readers are innoculated against the five primary fears that have prevented us from pledging allegiance to this way of living life.
With western society more deeply grounded on the religious teachings of Jesus, rather than, for example, Buddha or Zarathustra, LIVING A RADICAL PEACE utilizes the life of Jesus as the example of Radical Peace we are all meant to own as our OWN. Jesus defied the authorities and the beliefs of his time, and he took his message into the streets everyday! LIVING A RADICAL PEACE demonstrates through stories and exercises, how easy that is for us to do -compared to the difficult times during which Jesus actually lived.
This book calls each of us to follow the "magnetic north" of our soul's compass to change our own life and allegiance, which then begins creating changes in the institutions of business, society, and politics.
An exerpt from this work:
"Of the four realms I'd previously alluded to - the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical - what becomes evident is that three of them are invisible. They are part of our inner world. It is the physical that is the "print out", the expression, of the tape of information presently running within data banks of the other three. Being sick is the outward symptom of something else. So is being poor. So is being angry. So is being happy. So is being peaceful."

I'll make additional announcements about this book as specific publication information becomes available. Meanwhile, I have a favor to ask: This book has important, though oftentimes challenging, information to share in an easy-to-read format. My desire is to ensure that as many people as possible can be inspired by this book to create new, peaceful, change in the world.
To that goal, I'm desiring speaking venues - or publications - that will be willing to publish articles I'll be writing discussing the act of living Radical Peace. Many of you may have contacts, be it clubs, peace groups, national organizations, radio stations, regional publications, etc. If you're willing to help me spread the message of this work by offering me the specific names and addresses of your contacts, please email me with the information at: claire@clairekrulikowski.com . Namaste!
