ME to WE and WHY
World Helped by You
Moral Re-Armament (MRA), of 1938,
grew into an informal, international network of people of all faiths and
backgrounds. It was based around what it called the 'Four Absolutes' (absolute
honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness and absolute love) and
encouraged its members to be actively involved in political and social issues. One of the movement's core ideas was that changing the
world starts with seeking change in oneself. Come
Wind, Come Weather (1940) written by Daphne du Maurier contained
stories of ordinary Britons who had found hope and new life through MRA. She
dedicated it to "Frank
Buchman, whose initial vision made possible the
world of the living characters in these stories," and added, "What they are doing up and down
the country in helping men and women solve their problems, and prepare them for
whatever lies ahead, will prove to be of national importance in the days to
come." The book sold 650,000 copies in Britain alone.
Where Frank Buchman appealed to adults, Gerry Visca appeals to the
youth. New Thought was about the ONENSS. ACIM also teaches ONENES and ACIM came
about after someone said “There has to be a better way.”
We live in a time where a shift in the world’s energy is moving from ME
to MANY. My state of being is centered
around pouring myself into the benefit of others, inspiring them to be the best
that they can be so they give permission to others to do the same. I envision a world inspired and that brings
me tremendous joy.
Were the baby
boomers focussed on ‘Me” or “WE”?
