In this moment, we are called to the calmness and stillness in the eye of all storms to create a new equilibrium, both vertically and horizontally.

This year the Annual Global Silent Minute paused in a shared minute to restore Truth through Silence as Action – the Truth that dwells within the Heart of Humanity.
Far from being an abstraction, Truth is the realisation of cosmic laws based on direct experience accumulated in the chalice of Humanity through us.
As we live our holistic identity within the three worlds – of spirit, soul and personality – we recognise the synthesis of the One Life and the necessity to cut through to the Truth at the heart of everything.
In 2023 we recognised the need to re-orient to the compass of Truth through Silence.
In 2024 we will restore our re-membrance of the living, radiant power of Truth that resounds in the Heart, that rings through from the Cosmic Bell to the Planetary Bell (Mount Kailash, the Mountain of the Bell, in Tibet), to the bell within each and every one of us.
We invite you to meditate with us on Saturday 14th October at 7am AEDT (Sydney Time).

Listening to the Call of the Heart: Unity Beyond the Referendum
The current referendum represents a new marker point in the expression of Australia’s Soul and the flow of our history, which reaches back to the ancient dreaming, through the present, forward into the future. As we influence the future together globally from the present, we invoke the power and love to heal and reconcile harm done, as we vision a world of justice and right relationship. …
https://sydneygoodwill.org.au/Each year the International Day of Peace (IDP) is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Never has our world needed peace more.
This year’s theme is Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals. It is a call to action that recognizes our individual and collective responsibility to foster peace. Fostering peace contributes to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will create a culture of peace for all.

We had a special minute of silence on 6 August 1945 at 8:15 am the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Every year since then the country of Japan has gone silent for one minute, and the Peace Bell rings in Hiroshima Peace Park. We will observe a Global Silent Minute at 7:15 pm EDT on Saturday August 5th, when the Hiroshima May Peace Prevail on Earth group will host an event from 6 - 8 pm EDT. It will be live on zoom:

And here is what inspired this call for a Peace Offensive:
Jim Garrison, president of Ubiquity University and cofounder of Humanity Rising, recently said, “I believe we are in the most dangerous moment in our lifetime, certainly since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The momentum toward war is now seriously escalating and could very easily end up in some kind of nuclear exchange.”
ANNUAL GLOBAL SILENT MINUTE – 21 DECEMBER 2022 AT 9PM GMT
RE-ORIENT THROUGH SILENCE to a NEW COMPASS:
THE CHALICE OF TRUTH
21 December 2022 at 9 PM GMT is the fourth anniversary of the Global Silent Minute and this year our theme is undeniable Truth that arises from our reconnection through the Heart with the Chalice of Humanity.
The journey so far:
• 2019 we paused for a shared minute of global silence to recalibrate our identity within the One Heart of the One Life – for global cooperation, peace and freedom.
• 2020 we paused to restore our identity within the Chalice of Silence – that deep, eternal chamber within the Heart.
• 2021 we took the opportunity to regenerate through a shared minute of global silence within the planetary Chalice – in recognition of the need to bring to our hearts from the Chalice of Humanity, the recognition of the rightful place of the Mother of the World within our planetary and Cosmic schemes. Throughout the year we have been struck by re-membering our knowing of Her majestic power and Humanity's responsibility to work with the flow and rhythm of Her Breath and Heart-beat as we accept our destiny as co-creators and custodians for our beautiful blue planet.
In 2022 we will pause in a shared minute of global silence to re-orient through Silence to a new compass – the chalice of Truth that dwells within the Heart of Humanity.
The same unalterable Truth – though clothed in various garments throughout all arenas of physical life – is eternally given to humanity.
Far from being an abstraction, Truth is the realisation of cosmic laws based on direct experience accumulated – and accumulating – in the chalice of Humanity through us.
Never a pile of words, Truth is a rhythmic sound that carries decisive significance. Its rhythmic waves sound both through speech and silence. The lightning of truth can strike down or resurrect. And silence, we know, is the harmonised intermingling – rather than absence – of sounds or speech.
As we live our holistic identity where we realise our simultaneous existence and persistence within the three worlds – of spirit, soul and personality – we recognise the synthesis of the underlying fabric of the One Life and the necessity to wield and use the Sword of Truth to cut through distortions, mists, glamours and illusions to reveal the chalice of Truth at the Heart of Humanity. The time is ripe to cut through ALL obscuring “veils” and recognise the Truth at the heart of everything.
As we observe the Annual Global Silent Minute at 9pm GMT on 21 December 2022 we will work with the rhythmic sound of Truth.
Global Silent Minute held a sacred minute of Silence at the exact atomic moment of the 77th Anniversary of Nagasaki August 9th at 11:02 am in Tokyo:
August 8th at 10:02pm in New York
August 9th at 3:02am in London, 4:02am in Geneva, 7:32am in Darjeeling, 11:02am in Tokyo; 12:02pm in Sydney
To come together in this moment in 2022 in Silence within the Sirian energies in Leo we mark a moment in world history of both unimaginable devastation alongside extraordinary cooperation between the worlds and both sides of the veil.

Participate in the 99 Days here:
https://peacethroughunity.earthDay one of World UNITY Week, 2022 (June 18-25), initiates
the “99 Days of Peace through Unity”
closing on the final day of Peace Week (September 17-24).
These 99 Days are a call out to all individuals, groups, networks, platforms, initiatives and institutions
dedicated to unity and peace.
This initiative was inspired by Avon Mattison's sharing with the Unity Earth group one week prior to her withdrawal.
At a recent Unity Earth World Unity Week Assembly Dot Maver was asked to share thoughts regarding the 99 Day opportunity:
As we come home together in community, at this time of immense challenge and opportunity, we pose these questions:
What is our potential as we unite and come into coherence together to build a community expressing Peace through Unity, holding each other and all of Life in our hearts?
What can happen when we collectively and intentionally place our vast potential, resources and creativity – in the spirit of cooperation and right relationship – for 99 days – in a shared experience of creating the world we want to live in together?”
Each day of World Unity Week offers a theme based on
the Foundations of Life as presented through Eco-Governance: Saturday Peace Through Unity; Sunday Earth; Monday Water; Tuesday Fire; Wednesday Air; Thursday Climate; Friday Bio-diversity; Saturday Web of Life.

~scroll down for more info about the Global Silent Minute~
The inspiration for the Silent Minute was born on a battlefield near Jerusalem in World War I when an officer who knew he would not survive the war asked his comrade to find a way for him, and the millions like him, to assist daily from the “other side” through the power of Silence to end a greater war he saw coming.
That way became the Big Ben Silent Minute launched in World War II. Its daily rhythmic impact was acknowledged as significant in assisting to end the war and in demonstrating the awesome power of Silence as a spiritual weapon.
Today, the Global Silent Minute is galvanizing Humanity to recognize the necessity to embed a new paradigm to create the culture of peace so that challenges and conflicts are resolved before they escalate to violence.
The Global Silent Minute invites us to pause in Silence to recalibrate to a deeper, holistic perspective where our united focus impacts evolution.
Knowing that two concordant thoughts increase their power seven-fold, imagine millions of concordant thoughts igniting the Fire of Love at the Heart of Humanity.
Let us take this daily opportunity to utilize Silence as Action with the shared intention for global cooperation, peace and freedom.
